Secretary of State ends his bid for governor

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOPEKA — Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh ended his bid to be the next Kansas governor Monday, saying he lacked the funding and support to challenge for the Republican nomination.

Thornburgh said it was difficult to raise the funds necessary to beat U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback for the Republican nomination in 2010. Thornburgh estimated he would have needed $4 million to $5 million in donations to win the primary and millions more to win the general election. His campaign had raised $140,546 through the end of 2008, when it last reported its finances.
