Honoring a pledge he made earlier this year, Independent candidate for governor Alan Caron announced on Monday that he’s dropping out of the race.

“Back in March, I did the most unusual thing for a candidate. I said that if by October if it was clear that I couldn’t win, I would do the right thing for Maine and withdraw from this race,” said Caron at a press conference at the Portland Public Library. “Today, I am fulfilling that pledge. I am officially withdrawing as an official candidate in this election.”
