Deming out of GOP 4th District Race

GOP State Representative Steven Palazzo will run unopposed for the GOP 4th District seat this year.
Today was the qualifying deadline for candidates wishing to run. Although Biloxi City Councilman Robert Deming announced his plans to run for Congress, he issued this statement on Facebook today: “I want to thank everyone for the support I received leading up to the filing deadline. However, after long deliberation and much consideration, I feel like this is not the right time to pursue this challenge. While the climate was very favorable to challenge Palazzo, I do not believe my fundraising was where it needed to be with such a short period of time until the primary.”
