Councillor-at-Large Steven Morabito said Tuesday that he will not be a candidate for the State Senate seat in the First Suffolk and Middlesex District if Sen. Joseph Boncore leaves office.
Boncore is a finalist for a high-level position at the Massachusetts Biotecnology Council.
“It’s a personal choice,†said Morabito in explaining his decision to not run for the senate seat. “It’s just not the right time for friends, family, myself.â€
Morabito, who is running for re-election to the City Council, said he will be supporting Anthony D’Ambrosio for state senate if Boncore leaves office.
D’Ambrosio, a member of the Revere School Committee, was set to officially announce his candidacy for state senate at a reception Tuesday night at Cut 21 Restaurant in Revere.
