Toussaint Summers recently retired as New Bern's chief of police in March. This week Summers made his second big announcement in a year -- he will throw his hat into the ring and run for New Bern mayor in the upcoming 2022 municipal elections. He became the city’s first Black police chief in 2011 before his retirement on March 19. If elected, Summers would be only the second black mayor, after Leander R. Morgan was elected in 1977, 1979, and 1989.
