| Description | Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton announced Monday that she would not run for governor.
The decision further complicates the race for governor on the Democratic side. Gov. Jim Doyle has already announced that he would not run for re-election.
Lawton's revelation is the third stunning development by Democrats since August: Doyle's decision to back out, U.S. Rep. Ron Kind's decision to not run for governor and now Lawton's statement issued Monday morning. Lawton announced she was running in August, on the same day Doyle bowed out of seeking a third term.
Democratic supporters have said that President Barack Obama wants Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to run for the office.
Lawton told her supporters in an e-mail of her decision.
