Maddox made the announcement on Facebook.
“Despite traveling extensively across the Commonwealth, holding a multitude of fundraisers, making thousands of phone calls, sending direct mail, and turning over every rock possible to raise the money, it is clear that we will not have the resources we need to be successful in this campaign. It is for this reason I have decided to withdraw my name from consideration for the Republican nomination for Governor of Kentucky,” Maddox wrote.
Maddox’s withdrawal leaves six candidates for the Republican nomination for governor who have either secured a significant amount of campaign donations or are running professional campaigns. They are Attorney General Daniel Cameron, Commissioner of Agriculture Ryan Quarles, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft, Somerset Mayor Alan Keck, Auditor Mike Harmon and retired Northern Kentucky attorney Eric Deters.
