Meehan Ends Campaign for 5th District Nomination.

Republican Ryan Meehan dropped out of the race for his party’s Fifth Congressional District nomination. Meehan’s withdrawal leaves retired federal prosecutor David X. Sullivan as the only candidate in a field that last month included four hopefuls.

Republican delegates will gather via a virtual convention next week to make their endorsement. Sullivan will face first term incumbent Democrat Jahana Hayes, who won landslide primary and general election victories two years ago.
