Candidate Suspends Campaign After Heroin Overdose

February 24, 2020 at 4:15 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 78 Comments

Chris Taylor (R), who is seeking the Republican nomination to face Rep. Tom O’Halleran (D-AZ), overdosed on heroin last week and since has suspended his campaign, the Arizona Republic reports.

Said Taylor: “I’m not going to hide from this. I’m not ashamed of what happened. I wish to sincerely apologize to the amazing people who have supported me. I don’t know what went wrong. I recently relapsed after having so many solid years in sobriety. I have to figure out where I went wrong.”
