GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan — Dan Kildee officially dropped out of the race for Michigan governor this morning.
The former county treasurer and chairman of the county's Land Bank Authority told The Flint Journal Thursday he planned leaving the race to avoid splitting the support of organized labor and the votes of progressives in the Democratic primary.
"It is now clear that the effort to unite progressive organizations and organized labor around a single candidate will not occur," Kildee wrote in a statement released this morning. "With me in this race, that support will be splintered."
