Stratford emerged as the most popular among six candidates in the Midway City Council primary in June. She led the field with 26% of the vote, running on a platform of thoughtful growth.
She withdrew from the race Sept. 12, leaving three candidates in contention for two seats on the city council.
She told KPCW the timing wasn’t right this year and thanked Midway residents for their support.
“I remain deeply committed to Midway’s future and to public service, and I hope to have the opportunity to run again when I can dedicate my full energy and focus to the role,” she said in an email.
Andy Garland, Genene Probst and incumbent Councilmember JC Simonsen remain on the ballot.
In the race for mayor are Councilmember Craig Simons and challenger Miller Thomas Wright.
Two other mayoral candidates withdrew in June.
The general election is Nov. 4.
