WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrat Lindy Li has withdrawn from the race to represent a southeastern Pennsylvania congressional district.
The Philadelphia Inquirer (https://bit.ly/21ZJiOx ) reports that Li’s decision leaves Malvern businessman Mike Parrish as the only Democratic candidate in the 6th District race. Republican Ryan Costello is seeking his second term in the district, which represents portions of Chester, Montgomery, Berks and Lebanon counties.
Parrish had challenged the validity of Li’s nominating petition, saying they had signatures from unregistered voters, people in other districts and members of other parties. Li said her notary failed to keep a proper log.
After a three-day Commonwealth Court trial, Li agreed Friday to withdraw and not run for any other office. She vowed Saturday that she “will be running again” but did not say for what office.
