Wisconsin Senate candidate Tom Nelson ended his campaign on Monday in a competitive Democratic primary, blaming money in politics for his struggles.
Mr. Nelson, who is the county executive of northeastern Outagamie County, said his campaign ran out of money and that he would be endorsing the state’s Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes.
“We ran out of money. So, I am suspending our campaign and endorsing the one candidate who is not trying to buy this election,” Mr. Nelson tweeted. “You got our campaign this far, let’s get [Mandela Barnes] across the finish line and beat Ron Johnson.
