Michelle Hancock is dropping out of the race for Christian County Clerk and Recorder. The Republican candidate sent the following statement to Regional Radio News late Monday afternoon.

“Based upon my personal and professional obligations, I've decided to withdraw as the Republican candidate for Christian County Clerk. Making this decision has not come easily. I want to express my sincere appreciation for the overwhelming support from friends and family, the citizens of Christian County, and the Republican Party. I plan to continue to support current Republican candidates throughout this election and encourage everyone to participate in some way to help Christian County grow and prosper.”
