Elections

2024

Eustance issued a statement on his decision to withdraw as a candidate in 2024, saying, "My wife and I are expecting our first child this summer, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to become a dad. While I would love the opportunity to serve and to fight for our values, I simply have too many personal and professional obligations right now to effectively run for office. My heart just isn’t in it, and I can’t ask you to support me if I’m not fully committed to winning the race. Thank you for understanding. Be brave, be bold, and always take a stand for our freedom."^[1]
