State Sen. William Campbell (R-Hacienda Heights), who announced last year that he was assessing the possibility of running for the U. S. Senate, said that he has abandoned any thought of becoming a candidate.
Campbell said his supporters had pledged $500,000 to a campaign for the Republican nomination, and a poll showed that 30% of the voters statewide recognized his name. Although the financial support and the polls offered some encouragement, Campbell said, "I do not believe these factors add up to victory."
