Savage Out Of Democratic Race For LG

Vivian Paige breaks the story that Richmond political consultant Rich Savage has dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor:

In a phone call this morning, Savage said he is proud of the race that he ran. He leaves with his head held high, having  “raised the bar” on the issues, particularly his passion, education. Savage said that ecomonic conditions have made the race difficult and he doesn’t see anything changing.

He will continue to focus on education through his foundation, The Savage Foundation, and work with at-risk youth. These children, while supportive of his campaign, have told him that they miss him. Being on the road campaigning has taken Rich away from them and they will, no doubt, be happy to see him return.
