BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A mayoral candidate for the City of St. George who dropped out of the race has re-entered.

According to a Facebook post, Republican candidate Jim Morgan has decided to leave his name on the ballot.

Morgan said his campaign staff bullied him to officially resign but he declined. On Feb. 18, he announced his withdrawal from the mayoral race.

The Republican candidate will be running against the interim mayor for St. George, Dustin Yates.

In his social media post, he said he would stay true to his platform.

Morgan said the Home Rule Charter as written is not suitable for citizens of St. George.

“The Home Rule Charter, as written, is not suitable for the citizens of St. George,” he said. “We need duly elected officials to appoint a commission to re-write it, reducing the Overreach of Government concerns, taxation latitudes, and the tremendous power of the City Manager.”

The election for mayor is scheduled for March 29. St. George residents will also be able to vote on council members, according to the Secretary of State website.
