Kate Berger for Treasurer announced today that Kate withdrew as a candidate for the office of Treasurer in the City of Danville on Wednesday March 2, 2016 when she submitted her letter of withdrawal to the City of Danville Electoral Board.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the submission of this letter Kate\u2019s voter registration to the City of Danville had gone through and all of her filings and petitions were in order.<\/p>\n<p>Her letter reads: \u201cThis letter is to officially withdraw as a candidate for the Office of Treasurer in the City of Danville in the May 3, 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>At the urging of citizens of Danville, when no one, let alone a qualified candidate had come out to run for Treasurer, I moved my residency to the City and began the process of collecting signatures. I got much positive feedback in that process. At the time I filed all my paperwork to run only one other candidate had filed some of their work.<\/p>\n<p>Now two candidates from the City are qualified and one other may. After considering the qualifications of those candidates, I feel the City will be well served and that it will be in my best interest to withdraw as a candidate and move back to my farm.<\/p>\n<p>I apologize for any additional work this may cause you the Registrar\u2019s Office. I wanted to do this today so that you would not have already put my name on the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kate thanks all the people who helped her in this campaign especially those who contacted her, carried petitions or signed petitions.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.imgur.com\/A1hd6ux.jpg?resize=300%2C390\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danville Treasurer candidate Kate Berger withdrew from the election today.
