Kingston Mayor Noble Plans to Skip 2027 Reelection

Kingston Mayor Steve Noble says he will not seek reelection when his current term ends in 2027, concluding a 12-year tenure that began in 2016. He described the decision as a personal choice made after months of reflection and discussions with his family, and said he has not decided what he will do next. Noble cited the demands of public service and expressed gratitude to his family, staff, colleagues and residents, while reflecting on the city’s work on issues including police reform and housing justice. Separately, Pittsburgh City Councilor Deb Gross announced she will not seek reelection when her term ends in 2027, saying she is encouraged by the leadership emerging in her district after more than a dozen years in office.
