SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart is ending his campaign to unseat U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., citing family health issues.
The Democrat’s campaign confirmed the news on Tuesday.
The Spokesman-Review says Stuckart announced last winter that he would challenge McMorris Rodgers, and had raised more than $69,000 in the most recent filing period.
