An official with Sec. of the State Susan Bysiewicz’s campaign said late Tuesday that in light of the Supreme Court ruling, her race for attorney general has ended.”We will be withdrawing our name for the consideration for attorney general,” said Bob Martino, a senior adviser to the Bysiewicz campaign.He added that the Supreme Court’s ruling was both “shocking” and “extremely disappointing.” “We took this action to provide clarity for the voters,” he said of the initial lawsuit that led to the eventual decision. “We did get clarity for the voters, but unfortunately it is not the clarity we were looking for. We are deeply disappointed with the decision but we will abide by the law.”As for Bysiewicz’s political future, Martino said she has received numerous phone calls from supporters asking her to continue her public service “in some capacity.” At this point however, Martino said she will take a deep breath and “see what tomorrow brings.”"As for our future plans,” he said, “we will let you know in the near future. We haven’t thought of anything other than running for attorney general at this point.”
Martino said Bysiewicz “put her heart and soul” into the race and fought hard to the end.
“We want to thank our supporters and look forward to working with them again on future endeavors,” he said.
