Susan King Suspends Senate Campaign

State Rep. Susan King is temporarily suspending her state senate campaign to receive in-patient medical treatment for depression. According to a press release, Bryan Eppstein said King has been battling depression for sometime. She hopes to file her State Senate candidacy paperwork to be on the ballot in the 2016 Republican primary, but will delay final decision until closer to the December 14th primary filling deadline. According to Eppstein the only scenario that would keep King from resuming her campaign would be if her doctors and family advise against returning too soon.
