Massachusetts GOP Lieutenant Governor Candidate Shawn Oliver Ends Campaign After DUI Arrest
Republican lieutenant governor candidate Shawn Oliver announced the suspension of his campaign on 19 October in New Bedford, Massachusetts, after his recent DUI arrest. Boston 25 News reported the announcement, noting that Oliver had been arrested over the weekend for operating under the influence following a multi-vehicle crash, and that his withdrawal leaves the Republican ticket unchanged as the November election approaches. Fox News said the arrest stemmed from a rollover crash in New Bedford, where Oliver was taken to Ash Street Jail and later released.
