\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWith weeks until the primary election to decide who will be on the November ballot for the California governor’s race, a major candidate announced Monday she is suspending her campaign.Former State Controller Betty Yee said she made the decision last week to drop her gubernatorial bid. On Tuesday, Yee endorsed Tom Steyer’s candidacy. Yee is the latest person to drop out of a still crowded race, with many of the prominent candidates being Democrats.The large number of Democrats running for governor is a cause of concern for California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks, who wrote an open letter in March encouraging lower-polling candidates to drop out of the race.Yee said the voter index survey Hicks and the California Democratic Party have been conducting was not helping her efforts in raising funds for her campaign.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
