Troy DuBose, a candidate for Palm Coast City Council District 1, has withdrawn from the City Council race to remain eligible for a potential appointment to the Flagler County Planning and Development Board. The remaining candidates in the District 1 race are Robert Cuff, Sims Jones and Arthur McGovern. DuBose's campaign released the following statement the night of Aug. 1:

Hello everyone,
 
I want to thank you for your tireless and unfailing support over the last two months in my run for City Council. I have been humbled by your outpouring of enthusiasm and support.  Thank you for the kindness and contributions to my campaign.
 
As of today, I have officially suspended my campaign for Palm Coast City Council.
 
When I applied for the Planning and Zoning Board I was not aware, nor informed that I had to suspend my run until I was offered the position. I have now been informed as of 08/01/2016 by the County Attorney Hadeed that I will need to withdraw from my run in order to be considered.

I also had the conversation with the city of Palm Coast last week letting them know that I had in fact applied for the position and would be essentially dropping out of the race.

Sincerely,

Troy DuBose
