A Democratic candidate for the 93rd state House district is ending her campaign.
In a statement, Zoey Carter said only that "the higher powers above have deemed it not quite my time yet."
Republican Travis Weaver is the current representative for the district, which includes Pekin, Edwards, and Kewanee. The district leans heavily conservative.
Carter would have been the first out trans person in the Illinois General Assembly if elected.
The first day for candidates of established political parties to file paperwork with the Illinois State Board of Elections is Nov. 27.
