Former Libertarian candidate M. Ross announced Monday he is withdrawing from the governor's race because it appears he cannot win the Libertarian nomination.
Winning the Libertarian primary "realistically appears out of reach," said Ross.
"Many of my traditional supporters, especially in the business, women's rights and gun-owner communities, have failed to step forward to help me as they have in the past," Ross said in a statement.
"Many have simply written off the governor's race and ceded it to the incumbent. As a pro-choice Libertarian who supports individual rights for all Americans, including gay Americans, I cannot overcome the far right's dominance of the Libertarian Party without adequate support from these communities."
