Tim Dunn Steps out of Race in the 8th District

Tim Dunn has chosen to back away from race in North Carolina's 8th Congressional District. He cites difficulty in meeting family obligations. Sadly, many people wait to give financially to a campaign after the primary races are over. This can make running a primary campaign very difficult. You wind up running two campaigns at once.

Larry Kissell, is now the frontrunner in the primary race against Mark Ortiz, who runs an internet based campaign.

Thank you,Tim, for stepping up and recognizing the need for leadership in the 8th and in Washington. While we are sorry that you are leaving the race we feel confident that Larry Kissell will be able to beat Hayes this fall.
