CHARLESTON, S.C. — A Democrat running for a South Carolina congressional seat announced Monday that he is withdrawing from the race, all but ensuring that Charleston's U.S. House seat will continue to be represented by a woman.
Tim Lewis, the chairman of the Dorchester County Democratic Party, cited his responsibilities as a caregiver that will prevent him from spending "the time on the road to flip this district, to win in November, serve in Washington, and fulfill my responsibility at home."
"As a veteran, I have never run away from a fight, but as a businessman, I know when you need to make a hard choice. That's why with a heavy heart I will end my run for Congress," Lewis said.
