In keeping with his low-key style, Assemblyman Brian Barnwell quietly ended his re-election bid Tuesday in a simple two-sentence message on social media.

Barnwell made his decision known after he submitted his petition signatures to the Board of Elections last week to appear on the June 28 Democratic primary ballot.
