Jack Tiwari, a candidate for Virginia’s 87th district in the House of Delegates, has decided to end his campaign.
Incumbent Delegate David Ramadan, who recently announced that he would not be seeking reelection, currently holds the seat.
According to a release from the House Democratic Caucus, Tiwari has stepped down due to his family, and his commitment to working on relief efforts in Nepal following the earthquake last week.
“I realized that my heart and that of many of my supporters was back in my home country of Nepal. It would be very hard for me to run a campaign while many of my friends and family are focused on rebuilding Nepal,” said Jack Tiwari in a release.
Tiwari currently serves as president of the America-Nepal Society.
Now that Tiwari is out of the running, John Bell, a retired Air Force veteran, has announced his candidacy.
Bell has previously run against Ramadan on 2013, and ran against Delegate Bob Marshall in 2009.
