DescriptionTexas Senate candidate Mikal Watts (D) has decided to end his exploratory campaign for the seat of Sen. John Cornyn (R).
Watts’s exit leaves state Rep. Rick Noriega as the only top Democratic contender in the field.

Watts had pledged millions of dollars of his own money to the race.

“After spending the last several months putting everything into this campaign, I have seen the toll this effort has taken on my young children,” Watts said. “For these reasons, my wife and I have made the decision that I will not be seeking the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate in 2008.”
