Nurse quits lieutenant governor race

Wendy Van Horne, the lieutenant governor candidate for the Green-Rainbow Party, withdrew from the race yesterday, according to the office of Secretary of State William F. Galvin. Van Horne, 22, a nurse, gave no reason for her withdrawal, but her running mate, gubernatorial candidate Grace Ross, said it was for personal reasons. Van Horne could not be reached for comment last night. Ross must find a replacement by Thursday or forfeit her run, according to state election law.
