TREVORROW ENDS CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS
Citing a Personal Family Matter That Demands His Full Attention
ERIE, PA – Tom Trevorrow announced today that he will not seek the Republican nomination for Congress in Pennsylvania’s Third Congressional District. He made this difficult decision after much consultation with his family and friends upon learning the news that his father has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
“Late last week I learned that my father has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My parents sacrificed their entire lives to put me through school and help me become the person I am today,” said Trevorrow. “I remain committed to restoring fiscal responsibility to Washington and bringing real health care reform to America, but in the coming months it will be in a much more limited role than a race for Congress demands. The only decision for me is to end my candidacy so that I can focus my full attention on helping my father and family through what will be a long journey,” stated Trevorrow.
“There are many other fine candidates running in the May 18th Republican Primary who share my values and can win this election. While I will not be a candidate this year, I will support other Republican candidates who share my principles, and I will also look for another time when the circumstances may be right for me to run for public office,” concluded Trevorrow.
