On Wednesday, October 26, the campaign of Mark Ash, Libertarian nominee for Attorney General, sent in an op-ed for publication titled, “Libertarian Candidate for Attorney General Recommends Democrat Rochelle Garza.”
Today, the Ash campaign has requested the retraction of that op-ed. Ash’s campaign said he is not withdrawing from the race and is not endorsing Garza.
The Amarillo Pioneer Team requested a supplemental statement from Ash to explain the situation. This is what he sent in:
I appreciate that the Amarillo Pioneer published an article about my campaign. Although almost all of the article is true, the article is being misinterpreted as an endorsement of my opponent, Rochelle Garza. Therefore, I respectfully request that the article be withdrawn from public view.
Thank you, Mark Ash
