DescriptionPaula Brooks stepped out of a race for Congress this morning, avoiding a contentious primary with fellow Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy.

Brooks' announcement, a decision she said she reached over the weekend, clears the way for a rematch between Kilroy and incumbent Republican, Rep. Deborah Pryce.

It also ends months of speculation and discomfort at the Franklin County County Courthouse.

“Thank you,” Brooks said Franklin County Democratic Party Chairman William A. Anthony Jr. told her when she phoned Sunday night to give him the news.

Anthony was to convene his 195-member central and executive committee to endorse one of the two women, an effort to avoid a bloody battle.
