Christopher Mitchell
For State Representative, District 47
Dear Family, Friends, and Close Supporters,
Over the past eight months this campaign has given a voice to many of the issues that countless families across this state struggle with everyday. This is a testament to the commitment that you have shown to me and this campaign.
We knew from the beginning that this would be an uphill battle and knew then what was needed to win this election. Unfortunately I was unable to achieve necessary objectives to give us an opportunity to challenge for this seat and I am deeply disappointed. I owe it to my supporters, to the party and our community to be realistic about our chances moving forward. After greatly considering the urgent health needs of my family, and the greater objectives of the Democratic Party, I have come to a very difficult decision.
Today, I am announcing that I am withdrawing from the State Representative race for District 47. I will be throwing my full support behind Michael Steinberg as we both share the same vision for our community and will be joining his campaign in an advisory role so that all of our hard work can continue on through his campaign.
I would like to thank everyone who has invested their time and financial resources during these difficult times to this campaign. We have a long road ahead of us to rebuild this great state and progressive leadership is what is needed to make it happen.
Truly grateful for your support,
Christopher Mitchell
