Was Atlantic City Council Candidate Threatened From Election?

An Atlantic City, New Jersey Council candidate has left the election contest for “personal reasons.”

However, there appears to be much more to the story. This report details what we have learned.

The candidate is only willing to say the following at this time:

"It is with a heavy heart that I make the following announcement. Effective immediately I will be withdrawing my name for personal reasons as one of the candidates for Council at Large in Atlantic City. I have enjoyed campaigning for the past several months and meeting so many of my fellow citizens. It was my honor. While I look forward to serving in some capacity in the future, now is not the right time. It is my belief that Naeem Khan, and his running mates are the best option for leading this city into the future. I will have no further comment on my personal situation; however, I will be vigorously campaigning every day for Team Naeem until victory on election day. A sincere thank you to all of my friends, family, and supporters who have come alongside me during this effort."
