; and hundreds of thousands from unions and wealthy donors supporting candidates Helen Gym, Rebecca Rhynhart, and Cherelle Parker.Her exiting the race leaves 10 candidates in the May 16 Democratic primary, including six who are considered serious contenders. Those limits were intended to prevent special interests from currying influence with elected officials by writing enormous checks that regular voters couldn’t afford. But they were created before the U.S.
“I felt it was my responsibility for my supporters to try to shape the race,” she said. “Latinos are 18% of this city, and none of the candidates have been speaking to them, and I felt it was my responsibility as I exit to challenge all of the candidates to really speak to that community.”
