Lewis suspends Congressional bid temporarily

Citing “family health issues,” independent candidate for Congress Chris Lewis announced yesterday he was temporarily suspending his campaign for Congress.

Lewis would have time to restart his bid in time to meet the non-affiliated filing deadline in August, but obviously taking care of more important business would put him behind the 8-ball. It’s worthy to note that Lewis’ tersely worded statement stated that the family issues were just part of the problem, but the rest wasn’t revealed.

Also left unanswered is the prospect of a prospective fundraiser at Perdue Stadium next spring with a noteworthy musical guest (whose video I’ve featured before.) From the details I’ve gathered several other grassroots-type organizations would also participate so it’s likely that would go on whether Lewis remains in the race or not. Further, it’s likely that the push to place a Conservative Party on Maryland’s ballot line will also continue regardless of his status.

As Chris Lewis was one of the spearheads behind the local TEA Party effort, this is a test to determine its continued viability. I suspect it would pass with flying colors regardless of Chris’s political timetable.
