www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com It appears the Republican field for the 7th congressional District may have shrunk again.
A public relations firm which has handled press releases for congressional candidate Lerah Lee in the past issued an announcement Friday that she is pulling out of the 7th District race for unspecified health reasons. No statements about a withdrawal from the race had been posted on Lee’s campaign social media as of Saturday afternoon, however.
“I want to thank everyone, my family, friends, volunteers and the voters who supported this campaign,” Lee said in a release issued by the PR firm. “The tremendous outpouring of support that I witnessed in this campaign is something that I will always cherish. My heart wanted to continue this race to advance conservative values and President Trump’s agenda but unfortunately my health does not permit it.
“I know that whoever the Republicans of District Seven nominate, will win in November and carry on the fight for conservative values that we began in this race.”
At least four Republicans who announced candidacies for the 7th District have left the reason. Harrison Floyd dropped out shortly after he entered the race last spring. Meanwhile, Joe Profit switched campaign literature at the end of 2019 to state he will now run for the 6th District and Ben Bullock recently announced he is switching gears and will instead run for the 14th District seat.
There are at least five Republicans and six Democrats still running for the seat, however.
