NEW: Dr. Val Arkoosh, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners, suspended her campaign for the U.S. Senate on Friday.
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Dr. Val Arkoosh, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners, suspended her campaign for the U.S. Senate on Friday, according to a release. Below, is a full state from Arkoosh in regards to why she decided to withdraw her name from the race:
There was just nothing I could do as a doctor to address those problems. That’s why I took my fight for my patients outside the exam room and became a physician advocate for the Affordable Care Act. That fight has continued each day since. It is why I became the Chair of the Commonwealth’s third-largest county, and it’s in large part why I got into this race – because there is so much work that needs to be done to lift up Pennsylvania families.
For each of those Pennsylvanians, we cannot let anything stand in the way of a Democrat being elected to the U.S. Senate. The stakes are just too high. And it’s become clear to me that the best way I can ensure that happens is to suspend my campaign today and commit to doing whatever I can to help ensure we flip this Senate seat in November.
