Harvard professor Danielle Allen is “winding down” her campaign for Governor. She was the first Black woman to run for governor as part of a major party. She did not offer a specific reason for her exit. She did say that the political structure makes it challenging for candidates without political experience to run for office. A spokeswoman for the campaign said that Allen saw the path to victory narrowing and and felt that she could make more significant contributions on her priority issues in ways other than a campaign.
