Another: Republican Rep. Jesse MacLachlin Abandoning Re-election Bid.

State Representative Jesse MacLachlin is done. The three term Republican from the 35th House District will abandon his campaign for re-election Tuesday, Daily Ructions can report. MacLachlin, 30, was first elected in 2014 to serve Clinton, Killingworth, and Westbrook in the House of Representatives. He has told local party leaders of his imminent announcement.

MacLachlin was nominated for re-election at a May party convention. He told delegates he was “honored and overwhelmed” by their support. The “sustainable infrastructure entrepreneur” was the only House Republican to vote in favor of a police accountability bill during last month’s legislative session.

MacLachlin joins state Representative Chris Davis (R-Ellington) in abandoning a re-election race after seeking and accepting renomination.
