The release said Harp made the decision “despite some inclination – and repeated and passionate pleadings from supporters – to continue. It stated that she left her name on “so voters have an opportunity to vote for the mayor at that time, but there will be no active effort to seek voter support between now and November 5.”
“On one hand it’s completely counter-intuitive to walk away from all this progress and allow coalitions to be shattered that’ve been irrefutably successful, yet on the other hand there are simply too many practical considerations and obstacles to overcome for my team to effectively campaign for another term,” Harp is quoted as saying.
