Ken Trujillo Drops Out of Philadelphia Mayor's Race

Former Philadelphia City Solicitor Ken Trujillo said Wednesday that he was dropping out of the mayoral race due to family reasons.

"My wife, daughter and I are greatly saddened by this decision, but there are family matters that require my full attention," Trujillo said. "I am announcing this now because I believe strongly that we must leave the door open for another candidate to enter this race. Philadelphia needs someone who has the skills and values to put Philadelphia first, and I very much hope voters will have such an option. I am grateful for the extraordinary support I've received, and it is my sincerest regret that I will not be able to pursue this campaign to the end."

A partner at Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, Trujillo was one of the first candidates to enter the race, forming a leadership team in July and formally announcing his candidacy in September.
