Michael Pierce is issuing the following statement on the suspension of his campaign for Congress in the 11th District.
“I have spent many years in the Army, missing substantial amounts of time in the lives of my children while serving overseas, and this year we will have not one, but two grandbabies joining us!
As a family we have decided that this is not the best time to run a campaign.
A campaign such as this is a full time commitment and I am not in a position to devote the kind of time and energy needed to run a successful campaign. I am grateful to all of the people I have met who have expressed support for me and my campaign. This is certainly not an easy decision, but it is the right one for me and my family.”
Pierce had previously announced he was running as a Republican in the 11th District.
