Jon Robinson says he's not been able to raise money and he can't afford to spend more of his own, so he's pulling out as a Democratic candidate for state treasurer.
Since announcing his candidacy in February, Robinson, of Newcastle, said he has spent $5,000 to $10,000 of his own money.
"I can’t afford to put more money of my own into it,” he told reporters.
Robinson, 56, worked previously for 12 years in the state auditor and inspector’s office. He left state government in 1996 and has worked for four American Indian tribes.
State Treasurer Scott Meacham, a Democrat, is not seeking re-election.
Two Republicans, former Senator Owen Laughlin of Woodward and Rep. Ken Miller of Edmond, are announced candidates.
