Gray said as soon as it became apparent that he would enter the runoff election against incumbent Judy Tinder, the man “started threatening my job, calling my boss saying I was doing illegal stuff, which I wasn’t.”
Emphasizing he does “not have access to information in the VA system” and “everything that I have came from the Supervisor of Elections Office,” Gray said the accusations still “made it all the way up to D.C.” Subsequently, the VA has opened an internal investigation and his supervisor recommended him to leave the race, according to Gray.
“I just had to make a decision that was best for my family, to just take a break for now and catch the next cycle so that I can protect my family and job right now,” he added.

During the presidential election in November, there were 706 vote-by-mail ballots that had questionable signatures. Of those, 114 were rejected. Those votes did not count.
That is why Hogan says he sent this letter out to registered voters who have not updated their signature with the office in the past 10 years.
