Incumbent Ed Towns was making calls Sunday night telling friends, supporters and some members of the New York delegation that he was dropping out of the race for the re-drawn 8th Congressional seat, two sources told the Daily News.
Calls to Towns and his staff were not immediately returned.
Towns, 77, was facing a bruising primary fight against two Democratic challengers, City Councilman Charles Barron and state Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries.
