PORT HURON, Mich. A Michigan city council candidate whose racist comments have garnered nationwide attention since late last week has formally withdrawn from the race.
Marysville Mayor Dan Damman said Jean Cramer submitted a letter withdrawing Monday three days after he called for her to do so. City Manager Randy Fernandez said Cramer had first come into city hall to verbally withdraw but was asked to put it in writing.
Cramer, 67, couldnt be immediately reached for comment Monday afternoon. Her formal one-sentence letter to the city did not include any reasoning behind her withdrawal.
Despite the decision, Fernandez said her name will still appear on the Nov. 5 city election ballot. City officials consulted with the state and her name would have had to be withdrawn by the April 26 withdrawal date to be removed, he said.
Cramer was one of five residents two incumbents and two others vying for three seats.

And Jeannie - you're not fooling anyone with that wig.
