The former city councilwoman said that she plans to 'remain in public life and have community impact.'
Former City Councilmember Maria Quiñones Sánchez announced, on Sunday morning, that she was suspending her campaign for mayor.
“I am sorry to be suspending my campaign. I ran for mayor because I’ve lived every challenge this city faces, and with my policy and legislative experience, I felt I could tackle our city’s challenges head-on,” said Quiñones Sánchez in a statement released on Easter Sunday. In suspending her run for the mayor's office, Quiñones Sánchez pushed remaining candidates to support issues that are important to Latino voters.
“At the same time, I want to push our city forward in a more inclusive and equitable direction. Over the last few months, I’ve been disappointed that the other candidates have made no mention of how they would help Latino Philadelphians,” she said in the statement.
