I am truly blessed. However, as much thought and consideration,\nI have decided not to run for re-election in October. Of course, I will continue\nto serve as your Member of Parliament until the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis has been the most difficult decision to make. As\nmuch as I enjoy being your MP, I am finding it increasingly difficult to find a\nbalance between that role and being around for my sons, Kolton and Kash, who\nare now nine and seven, and are growing up fast, as kids tend to do. I want to\nbe more than a FaceTime father. After spending much time with them over\nChristmas, and more recently over March Break, I know in my heart this is the\nright decision at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Peterson will not seek re-election this fall, the MP for Newmarket-Aurora announced Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23368\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
