Collegedale Commission candidate Nathan Smith said he has decided to drop out of the race and back Ethan White.
Mr. Smith said, "I've decided at this time that it is best to focus my time more with my young family and towards the growth of my business. With early voting starting tomorrow, it is too late to pull my name from the ballet but if I could I would.
"I would like to thank everyone who has supported me through this great experience. If you were planning on voting for me, please vote for my friend, Ethan White. He is a solid candidate that will do an amazing job in Collegedale. My family and I put our full support behind him.
"I hope to work alongside him in the future, but for now please support Ethan White for Collegedale Commission."
