SALEM, Ore. (AP) — John Frohnmayer says he is dropping his bid for the U.S. Senate.

Frohnmayer had planned to run as the Independent Party's candidate in a three-way race against Republican Senator Gordon Smith and Democrat Jeff Merkley.

But Frohnmayer said Tuesday he has had a tough time rounding up campaign money and grass-roots support.

Frohnmayer was chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts during the first Bush administration. He is the brother of University of Oregon President Dave Frohnmayer.
