Interim DeKalb CEO Lee May, who has overseen the county government for a tumultuous 2½ years, announced Friday he won’t run for election and will leave office when the current term expires at the end of the year.

May said his decision wasn’t influenced by a corruption report that called for him to resign, but he acknowledged that the job has been difficult.

“It was a trying time. No one wants to see your name plastered in the paper,” May said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Ultimately the decision I’m making is one that my wife and I have made, and we’re not feeling pressure from anyone.”

May, 40, said he will leave politics and pursue a career in ministry. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Emory University.

May became DeKalb’s chief executive when Gov. Nathan Deal appointed him in July 2013 to replace CEO Burrell Ellis, who was elected to a four-year term in 2012. Deal had suspended Ellis after he was indicted, and a jury last year convicted Ellis of perjury and attempted extortion.
