anyone know why Ackerman dropped out. Campbell made a cryptic comment about it when Cox's seat first opened up and I haven't heard any follow up on this, even though Campbell had initially endorsed Ackerman.
I was a bit surprised that Ackerman dropped out too..
He made it sound like he had more important work to do in Sacramento with the state budget process and looming initiative battles and felt he could be of more use there.
This was after Campbell backtracked and said he wanted to run for Cox's seat even tho Ackerman tossed his hat in first.
Ackerman dropped out when Campbell decided to run.
This is the closest I've seen to an explanation:
