Former 5th District Congressional candidate, Democrat Sam Rasoul says he will not run for the party's nomination for the 17th District House of Delegates seat.
At a news conference in Roanoke Monday afternoon, Rasoul supported Democratic Roanoke City Councilwoman Gwen Mason in her campaign to succeed current Delegate Will Fralin, a Republican, for the seat. Fralin is not running for re-election so he could focus on his business.
Rasoul said this is a time for Democrats to unite, not divide. Rasoul hopes to focus on promoting small businesses in the campaign.
