WASHINGTON (AP) -- The mayor of former Majority Leader Tom DeLay's Texas home town will run as a write-in candidate for the House seat after the scandal-scarred DeLay took steps to get off the November ballot, a Republican strategist said Wednesday.
DeLay announced Tuesday he was withdrawing from the race after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia rejected attempts by Texas Republicans to replace him. David Wallace, mayor of Sugar Land, Texas, was one of the candidates under consideration by the party to replace DeLay.
Wallace was expected to announce his intentions Wednesday, said a Republican strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
DeLay resigned from Congress on June 9, after winning a primary election in March, and moved his main residence to Virginia.
DeLay's withdrawal from the race left Republicans without a nominee on the ballot. His withdrawal allows the party to rally behind Wallace.
