To my campaign supporters and the constituents of District 19,

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that I will be suspending my campaign for seat 19B in the Idaho House of Representatives, effective immediately. 

In addition to affecting my family personally, the coronavirus pandemic has created a significant increase in my responsibilities at work and at home. Because of this, I am not able to run the campaign that I would like to run and serve you in my fullest capacity.

I remain 100% committed to serving the district and the state of Idaho and have every intention of pursuing an elected office when my circumstances have changed. I want to sincerely thank those of you who supported my campaign thus far. I also would like to thank my campaign manager, Charity Strong, and my treasurer, Lisa Sanchez, for their tireless work and unwavering support of my campaign. I look forward to serving in the future.

Thank you for your support.

Charlene Y. Taylor
