Delaware's lone Republican in the attorney general race drops out

Peggy Marshall Thomas, the Republican Party's lone candidate for state attorney general, is dropping out of the race.

"After talking with my family this weekend, I have made the very difficult decision to withdraw from the Attorney General race," she said. "I want to thank the many people who worked to support my campaign and shared my vision for the Department of Justice."

Thomas said she will have no further comment and asked the media to "respect her privacy."

Thomas has not yet made any public announcement on her campaign's website or Facebook page. Both pages appeared to have been deleted within minutes of her comment being released.

Thomas's announcement came less than 48 hours after she reportedly attended campaign events on Saturday. Sources told The News Journal that they were first informed of Thomas's decision on Monday.
