Sharron Angle, who previously said she was going to run for Nevada's 2nd District Congressional seat, decided today to skip the race.

Her exit was good news for establishment Republicans who worried her presence would split the vote and open the door for a Democrat to win this seat for the first time.

The following is a statement put out by her campaign:

Beginning Wednesday, May 18 and ending on Sunday, May 22, Elaine and I took her 82-year-old Mom, Mary Bottoms, on a six-day tour of rural Nevada. It was her first-ever trip to all kinds of interesting places.

She has been a permanent resident of this state for the last 3.5 years, and prior to moving here from Greeley, Colo., she had visited us in Carson City a number of times. Those visits had been made by either train or bus and were always along the I-80 corridor from Wendover to Reno. That was all she had ever seen of the State of Nevada until this particular trip.

Fifth grader Kepa Bengochea loves going fly fishing with her grandfather Steve Swecker. On one fishing trip she remembers fishing next to a huge tree. Throughout the day, she would sit and lean against the tree.
So when her fifth grade class at French Ford Middle School in Winnemucca began drawing their entries for this year’s Free Fishing Day Poster Contest, she incorporated that tree into her drawing.
