"I am going to remain on the ballot but I am just not going to actively campaign. I will let my qualifications as a CPA (do not confuse this with the CFA, I am a CPA and currently working towards the CFA exam) and the work I do on the Brentwood Forest Board of Managers passively drive my campaign."
