Pacific Grove mayor pulls out of 2024 election, will not seek another term

Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Peake will not seek re-election this year. He took his name off the 2024 ballot and effectively ended his bid.

Peake has been mayor of Pacific Grove since 2018, and was originally on this year’s ballot. However, he made the decision to step away from council and will be focusing on other endeavors.

“This will allow me to devote more time to family, staying healthy and personal pursuits,” Peake said. “Deciding not to continue comes with mixed feelings. I greatly enjoy being a part of council and working for the well being of our community.”

Peake said multiple people have asked him to reconsider, but he is going to watch the next election from the sidelines and encourages votes for Mayor Pro Tem Nick Smith.
