NORWALK–Lucy Dathan has dropped her primary challenge against Sam Nestor for the Democratic nod for Connecticut’s 26th Senate District.

According to a report by Nancy on Norwalk, Dathan “showed up at Wednesday night’s 142nd District Democratic Town Committee convention [in Norwalk] and walked out as the unanimous nominee for her old House seat.”

Nancy on Norwalk quoted Nathan on her decision to drop out of the state senate race: “When I started assessing my path forward, I realized that in order to be successful, I was going to have to run a campaign that wasn’t me and wasn’t authentic to who I am. . . . I like to be a positive campaigner. I don’t like to play dirty in order to win. That’s not who I like to be. I think we’re better than that. And personally, I just didn’t want to play that game.”

Dathan lost the 26th senate district vote Monday night by a two to one margin.
