After several days on the campaign trail it has occurred to me that the time commitment and the potential personal cost to myself and my family is too high. In all fairness to those who have agreed to support me, I feel that I must withdraw from the race for the Olympia City Council now, early on, so that people can appropriately align themselves with other candidates who can make this commitment in earnest. This has been a fun process and I have grown to love Olympia even more than I did before. However, at this time I have decided to focus my attention on my family and my business.
