Casper City Councilperson Amanda Huckabay has announced her resignation effective immediately.
Huckabay made the announcement in an email addressed to city council, that has been obtained by Oil City.
In the email, Huckabay discusses her professional and familial situations, including a recent engagement, changing professional duties, and obligations to her child. Huckabay says that she will be relocating to Utah with her fiancé.
“This was a very difficult decision for me to leave the political scene in Wyoming,” Huckabay wrote in her resignation e-mail, “especially since I was recently solicited by the National Libertarian Party to run for State Legislature, which I also declined.”
Huckabay went on to describe having pride in the work accomplished by City Council, and sadness in leaving.
“The warrior energy I have embodied during my life, seems to have disappeared, and I am transitioning into a healing energy, thus I no longer have the passion for the activist work I have been doing for over 20 years,” Huckabay wrote.
Huckabay expressed a desire to council, in the selection of another “strong female from Ward I,” to fill her position.
Huckabay took office in 2017, and has served in the role for just over a year. During that year was a a rocky period of turn over in members of council and city staff and the 2017 Eclipse.
