LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Erin Schor, a longtime policy professional and the wife of Lansing Mayor Andy Schor, announced she is withdrawing from the 74th House District race. Schor’s campaign lasted for 20 days.
Michigan’s 74th House District is currently held by Kara Hope (D-Holt). Hope announced in January that she is not seeking reelection.
In a post on social media, Schor says the amount of time required to serve as a legislator is more than she can offer.
Friends, after very serious thought and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from the 74th District House race. While it would be an incredible honor to serve the residents of South Lansing and Holt, this race – and serving as a legislator – deserves more of my time than I can offer right now. Due to evolving family situations and other responsibilities that were unexpected, I cannot devote the time needed and deserved by the voters of this district. I have had numerous incredible conversations with leaders in South Lansing and Holt, and I have been genuinely humbled by the support I have received from so very many of you. I look forward to continuing my involvement in our community; I just will not be doing that in the State House of Representatives. Thank you to all of you who have endorsed me and encouraged me – I look forward to continuing to work together in other ways.
