I received this in email, as many of you did this morning:

Dear Steve,
Approximately two weeks ago, several good Democrats contacted me to
encourage me to run for District Attorney of Shelby County. I am
writing you today to decline their generous offer of support, and wanted
to take a moment to explain why.
As you are likely aware, my law partner suddenly passed away
earlier this year. Aside from the unexpected loss of a good and dear
friend, his passing meant that the future of the business we had spent
years building was in question. At that time, I told my lawyers, staff
and clients that if they stuck with me, we would continue to move
forward. They did, and we have. It would be unfair of me to tell them
six months later that I was leaving the practice that I had promised to
keep together. I have always tried to do the right thing, and I know
that this is the right decision for both my family and the people close
to me.
Please know that I still believe that a candidate with strong,
united Democratic support can be successful in Shelby County. That’s
why I wanted to tell you of my decision before the filing deadline. I
wish the circumstances were different, but I am nonetheless thankful for
the encouragement and the belief that I could make Shelby County a
better place.
Sincerely,
Jim Kyle
