Steve Duerr withdraws candidacy bid
For House District 22
May 15, 2008
Steve Duerr has withdrawn his bid to run for House Representative for District 22. Below is his statement to the media:
“I regret that I will not be able to seek the Republican nomination for House District 22.
I have let the three county Republican Party leaders know about this unexpected development and I have copied them on this notification.
I also regret this news follows so close to the announcement I recently made. I am providing this information to you as quickly as I can.
My hope is that a good Republican candidate will file for this seat during the period May 15 -30.
The reason for this change of direction is that at 5PM on Friday the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced that the FDIC had been appointed receiver for my former employer ANB Financial, N.A. This Monday morning the FDIC staff is managing the Jackson Hole office and other former ANB offices. I will be working with the FDIC during this transition.
With this employment uncertainty developing so quickly I cannot in good conscience make the commitment to pursue elective office.
Again, I sincerely regret and apologize for any inconvenience I have caused you or your staff. Thank you for the courtesy you have shown to me as I began the public relations campaign for this office. I anticipated a far different ending. But honesty is the best policy and this is my honest assessment of the situation."
Sincerely,
Steve Duerr
