Ward 2 Tahlequah City Council candidate Gary Cacy has announced that he will remain in the race, after all.
On Dec. 16, Cacy said he would be withdrawing from the February election after word began circulating about some trouble he d had.
âMy character and my reputation were immediately being questioned from day one of the campaign, and I didnât want to go through that,â said Cacy. âI didnât think I deserved it, and if I wasn t going to be appreciated for my willingness to come forward to serve the city, I didnât want to proceed.â
City Clerk DeAnna Hammons spoke with the election board and was told Cacyâs name was still going be on the ballot for the nonpartisan election.
