Former state Sen. Benjamin Downing dropped out of the race Tuesday, saying his campaign does 'not have the financial resources to continue.'
Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Democrat Ben Downing at Belle Isle Marsh Reservation in East Boston.
"While it's painful to admit, that reality has brought this chapter to a close," the East Boston Democrat said in a statement."Just as my work and my responsibility as a citizen did not end when I term limited myself in the Senate, the work of this campaign does not end today. Though my name will not be on the ballot next year, I will keep working for the principles that defined this campaign.
Downing had the smallest balance among Democrats in the race, compared to Allen's $386,270 and Chang-Diaz's $198,311. Republican candidate Geoff Diehl most recently reported having $58,833 on hand.
