WASHINGTON — Virginia first lady Dorothy McAuliffe has decided to quit the race for Congress next year saying she can do more for Virginians in her current post.
“I look forward to continuing the important work we are doing now to build a Commonwealth for families in every corner of Virginia,” McAuliffe said in a statement released by the governor’s office.
McAuliffe was trailing badly in a primary run in the 10th District, where she and her husband Gov. Terry McAuliffe moved so he could run for Virginia office. The couple, currently living in the Executive Mansion in Richmond, still own a home in the district, which stretches from their home base of McLean to Winchester and is represented by Republican Congresswoman Barbara Comstock.
