Write-in candidate drops out of Antioch mayoral race
Posted March 12, 2009 11:00 pm
A mayoral candidate in Antioch has withdrawn from contention in the April 7 race, officials confirmed today.
Kris Murphy, who had been running as a write-in candidate, withdrew Wednesday, the Lake County clerk's office said. Murphy could not be reached for comment.
The move leaves three candidates in the race for a 4-year term: trustee Bob Caufield, trustee Larry Hanson and Antioch Community High School student Erik Peters. Peters is a write-in candidate and will not appear on the ballot.
Current Mayor Dorothy Larson is not seeking re-election.
