The field to become governor has been a big one for Democrats, but former Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation director Missy Hughes has dropped out of the race, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

She is the first Democratic candidate to do so and is now supporting Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez.

Hughes entered the race in September.
