NEW YORK (CNN) -- Ed Cox, the son-in-law of Richard Nixon who launched and then suspended a campaign to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, has decided to sit out the 2006 race.

"After careful consideration of the circumstances and conditions as they exist surrounding the race, including the now-shortened time frame available to run an aggressive and effective campaign, I will not seek my party's nomination," Cox, a Republican, said in a written statement Thursday.

Last summer, Cox, a 58-year-old Manhattan lawyer, began seeking elective office for the first time, believing he had the backing of state Republican leaders.

But when Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro, 54, entered the race in August and received a public endorsement from three-term Republican Gov. George Pataki, Cox withdrew.
