Gronick withdraws from the race for governor [View all]
Unexpected news from the Journal-Sentinel this morning:
Milwaukee businessman Andy Gronik ended his campaign against Gov. Scott Walker Thursday.
His announcement comes a day after the release of a Marquette University Law School poll that revealed Gronik continued to struggle to make an impact with voters and had received just 4% support from Democratic voters polled.
Gronik is the first of 10 Democratic candidates with serious campaigns to drop out of the race ahead of an Aug. 14 primary. He was one of the first Democratic candidates to announce a bid to unseat Walker, and has spent a considerable amount of his own money to challenge the two-term governor.

This must have been a very sudden decision. I know he was at the Juneteenth celebration in Milwaukee yesterday with other candidates who were meeting voters--Kathleen Vinehout, Matt Flynn, and Mahlon Mitchell (possibly others).
