This has discouraged more than one candidate.

Sharon Pandak was all for running for the Democratic attorney-general nomination, all for talking about the issues facing Virginia’s next top prosecutor. What she wasn’t all for was spending so much time on fund raising. “I had miscalculated the amount of time that I would need to spend raising the funds necessary to be able to wage a viable campaign,” the former Prince William county attorney told The Augusta Free Press Monday afternoon. Pandak had announced earlier in the day that she was withdrawing her candidacy for the party nod.
