He said he'll let his qualifications as a CPA and his work as manager on the Brentwood Forest Board speak for his campaign.
Patrick Toohey said he never had the chance to officially withdrawal from Brentwood's Ward 4 aldermanic race after to pull out, due to work obligations.
"In the mean time, word spread that I was dropping out of the election," he said in a March 18 e-mail to Patch, "partially because of the article Patch wrote and partially because of conversations I had with those in the community about dropping out."

"I am going to remain on the ballot but I am just not going to actively campaign. I will let my qualifications as a CPA (do not confuse this with the CFA, I am a CPA and currently working towards the CFA exam) and the work I do on the Brentwood Forest Board of Managers passively drive my campaign."
He's running against incumbent, Lorraine Krewson, and Gary S. Bierman. Tom Kramer is the second alderman; his term expires April 2015.
