LANSING, Mich. — Maurice Imhoff, who was once poised to be the youngest state Representative in Michigan’s history, dropped out of the race to represent District 46 Wednesday after allegations of past threats to schools and an alleged assault of a police officer.

Top Democrats in Michigan like Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel and House Democratic Leader Donna Lasinski all quickly pulled their support.

Imhoff announced Wednesday that he will end his campaign for state representative of the 46th District saying in a statement he will donate his campaign funds to Rise Above, an organization he credits with helping turn his life around.
