Williams will continue to campaign

With Republican nominee for president John McCain announcing Wednesday that he would temporarily suspend his campaign and some members of Congress facing pressure to do the same, Republican candidate Craig Williams will continue on the campaign trail.

"If Mr. Williams were a sitting member of Congress, which he hopes to be follwing the November election, he woudl be focusing all of his energy on resolving this crisis," Williams campaign spokesman Pete Peterson said. "In the meantime, he is going to continue to meet with local residents to discuss their concerns about the economy, taxes, and energy and offer his vision for our nation."

Williams is running against U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak in the 7th Congressional District.
