Eric Hogue Keeps Faith with Assembly District 4

For months, Conservative Republican Eric Hogue has prepared to fight the good fight, and to assure that Assembly District 4 would have a strong, conservative voice should Assemblyman Ted Gaines decide to seek the seat in Congress that recently opened with the resignation of Congressman Doolittle. With Mr. Gaines’ announcement he will not be running for congress in 2008, Eric Hogue announces today he is reluctantly withdrawing his name for consideration in Assembly District 4 for the current election cycle.

“While I am tempted, and have been urged by many to seek office now, I made it clear from the very beginning that my candidacy for Assembly in 2008 was contingent on Ted Gaines running for Congress,” says Eric Hogue. “Since that is not the case, I will stay loyal to my word, and keep faith with those who supported my contingency campaign, and not seek office at this time.”

Eric Hogue will not go quietly into the night. He will continue to voice his concerns on the issues of the day through every medium available. Hogue has stated that He will seek out new ways to prepare for public office. “And just as I was ready for action in Assembly District 4,” says Hogue, “you can rest assured I will continue to seek opportunities for elected office, and to serve in a manner that will fulfill our common goals of effective, responsive, and responsible leadership.”

Hogue has also made mention of his ‘grassroots’ supporters, “My thanks and gratitude for those who helped launch a campaign from scratch – contributing hundreds of volunteer hours with great devotion to the cause. There will be another ‘appointed time’ for service, stay tuned. Until that day, thank you for your support, friendship and commitment. I will personally be speaking to each and every one of you over the next few weeks. I’m humbled, as well as encouraged as we set our sights on the future.”
