From Charleston Daily Mail:
Three days after offering to quit the race, the Republican candidate for secretary of state says he’s sticking with his campaign.
Charles Minimah asked incumbent Secretary of State Betty Ireland on Monday to take his place. But the fellow Republican says she’s not running.
Minimah, 56, also missed deadlines for removing his name from the ballot. But he said on Thursday that he will remain in the contest with Democrat Natalie Tennant.
“I still believe I am the better candidate,” Minimah told reporters outside the state Capitol. “I am fully committed to moving ahead with this race.”
