30-year-old screenwriter Hilary Brotschol ended her NJ-11 GOP primary bid on Friday.
“It is with a heavy heart I announce my withdrawal from the race for NJ-11. I entered the race not as a politician, but as a concerned citizen,” said Brotschol. “I hoped to be a unifying voice for the district in which I have lived my entire life, unfortunately, it has become clear that I do not have the support nor financial resources necessary to continue my run. I am grateful to have met and been encouraged by people from not only our district but across the nation. Thank you to all those who believed in my vision.”
