Update<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valley City Kaitlyn Huss, a candidate for North Dakota District 24 House of Representatives, who was charged with simple assault on Friday, October 7, has dropped out of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huss made her initial court appearance on Friday, October 7. She pleaded not guilty. Her next court date is set for October 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday, October 8, Huss issued this statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to thank everyone who has stood with me during my campaign, who supported me. The issues that we\u2019ve raised and the policies I\u2019ve pursued and spoken about are important, and I\u2019m so proud of all we\u2019ve accomplished in the past eight months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was involved in an incident that I deeply regret. I behaved in a manner unbefitting of my position as a candidate and unbecoming of my own personal standards for myself. I intend to take full responsibility for my actions -and I am starting with this message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am withdrawing myself from the race for District 24 House of Representatives. While I will remain on the November 8th ballot, I do not believe I have represented my party or my community to the standards which you deserve. I encourage you all to vote with your hearts, and chose one of the other three candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This campaign has been an incredible experience. I am grateful to everyone who has supported me, and to the District 24 Democrats for believing in me enough to endorse me and stand with me throughout. Lastly I would like to thank my family without whom none of this would have been possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a Heavy Heart, Kaitlyn Huss<\/p>\n\n\n\n
