Will seek reelection to the Iowa House of Representatives

Charles City, Iowa - Today State Representative Todd Prichard announced that he is suspending his campaign for governor. "It has been an honor to participate in the Democratic Party's primary for governor over the last few months. I am humbled by the support I have received across the state. However, my responsibilities to my family, the Army, my constituents, as well as my small business must take priority over the many hours a day it takes to raise the sums of money required to run successfully. Therefore, I have decided to suspend my campaign for governor and run for reelection to the Iowa House of Representatives. Traveling the state, I witnessed a real dissatisfaction with how the state is currently being run and a strong desire to see a state government that puts people first and focuses on every Iowan, not just the wealthy or those in larger cities. My hope is that Iowans continue to engage in the political process at all levels and elect a progressive governor in 2018. I look forward to supporting progressive candidates at all levels on the Democratic ticket."
