From The City Paper:
State Sen. Jim Kyle, D-Memphis, announced to members of the Capitol Hill press corps today that he is dropping his campaign for governor.
“It is clear to me that while our campaign had the assets to be competitive in the primary, the legislative fundraising restriction, the economy, and my duties as Senate leader have severely hampered my ability to generate resources which would have been vital to our success in the general election,” he said during a press conference with his wife, Sara Kyle, who is a member of the Tennessee Regulatory Commission.
Kyle said he would keep pushing his focus on education in the legislature.
