Rodriguez bows out of race, endorses Murray

Maria Rodriguez, DNC Chairwoman and leader of the Democratic Party, announced today that she is stepping out of the race for President that will take place in June, opting to endorse Labour's Frank Murray.

In an official statement, Rodriguez said she was stepping aside and endorsing Murray "in order to preserve, extend, and foster the relationship that the Democrats have with their closest partner in government, the Labour Party."


Rodriguez was elected DNC Chairwoman in a landslide just over two years ago

The news comes as Democratic members of the National Assembly were involved in a spat with Labour after they voted as a bloc in favor of a cabinet proposal which excluded the Labour and Socialist parties. Rodriguez, a longtime advocate of partnership and cooperation with allied political parties, remained silent throughout the affair.

Rodriguez says she looks forward to continuing to work with the Labour Party, and also to improving the working relationship that the Democrats and Labour have.
