| Description | One of the most talked-about challengers to Gov. Rick Snyder in 2014 took her name out contention.
In an e-mail to supporters, state Sen. Gretchen Whitmer, D-East Lansing, said she won’t be running for the state’s top job in 2014.
“It’s a fight I know we can win, but the question I’ve had to ask myself over the past several months is whether I can be the one to lead it,” she said in the letter.
She said she has to do what’s best for her two daughters, ages 9 and 10.
“Being their mom is the single most important thing in the world to me,” she said. “To be the kind of mom I want to be for my girls simply does not allow me to make the kind of commitment necessary to run a successful campaign for governor at this point in their lives.” |
