Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson announced last night that he would not seek a third term in next year's election. The Sacramento native and former NBA star became the city's first African-American mayor in 2008.

"After much thought and soul-searching I have decided not to run for a third term as mayor," Johnson wrote in a statement released on Twitter late Tuesday night. "It was an incredibly difficult choice, but one I feel confident about."
