After 15 years of the political life, Karen Herman has decided to call it a career. 
In a Facebook post, Herman says it’s time to step aside to let other people serve, adding some of her proudest achievements include the expansion of The Blenheim Gable Rees Rotary Pool and construction of the new Erieau Community/Fire Hall.
Herman is encouraging more women to run for office, saying a female perspective brings balance to the decision making process.
The Ward 2 rep has served South Kent since 2003, and is one of the longest serving councillors currently sitting.
