(KNZA)--A candidate for the 1st District Kansas Senate seat has withdrawn from the race, and plans to seek another office.
Rural Hoyt Democrat Lauren Van Wagoner had filed in December for the seat currently held by rural Hiawatha Republican Dennis Pyle.
In announcing her withdrawal, Van Wagoner says she feels its far better for the senate district at this time to avoid a Democratic primary.
Longtime State Representative Jerry Henry, a Cummings Democrat, has announced his plans to seek the 1st District Kansas Senate seat, and Van Wagoner says she throwing her support behind him.
Meanwhile, she says she plans to seek the 61st District Kansas House seat as a Democratic candidate.
Holton businessman Dan Brenner filed last month for the seat as a Republican candidate.
The seat is currently held by Holton Republican Becky Hutchins, who has not yet filed for re-election.
