GA-GOV: McBath halts Georgia gubernatorial exploratory bid, citing husband's health
Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.) is pausing her exploratory bid for Georgia governor, citing her husband’s ongoing cancer battle.
“I’m so grateful for everyone who has stood by my family as we undergo this arduous period,” McBath said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. “I will be spending some time focusing on my husband’s health, and I cannot make a decision to run for governor or not at this moment.”
McBath told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that it was a “really difficult decision to make.”
“And right now I can’t make the decision on whether or not to run for governor,” McBath added. “I’ve always said my priorities should be where I’m supposed to be. And that’s helping my husband.”
