Democratic state representative candidate Mark Back said Saturday he was withdrawing from the race.
Back, of Crown Point, announced Saturday he intended to pull his name from the Democratic primary for the District 19 state representative seat, which is currently held by Republican Rep. Julie Olthoff. Back said he decided to pull his name from the race to focus on his family.
"I entered this race to serve our community but at this time the people who need my service most are my own family," Back said in a statement.
Back was a public information officer and health care administrator for the Lake County Sheriff's Department under convicted former Sheriff John Buncich.
Back was one of two Democratic candidates running in the May primary. The other candidate is Lisa Beck, of Crown Point.
"I want to thank those who have supported me for your confidence, your energy, and your commitment to making Northwest Indiana a better place," Back said in a statement.
