INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A retired firefighter from Bedford has dropped his bid to run for governor as a Republican.

La Ron Keith announced in September that he would run, but issued a release Monday saying that he was in an automobile accident this past summer that resulted in injuries making it difficult to walk.

He said he had planned on getting necessary signatures to get on the ballot, but the pain suffered in the wreck prevented him from doing so. He said he has decided to support Gov. Mitch Daniels.

Two Democrats, Jim Schellinger and Jill Long Thompson, are seeking their party's nomination.
