Cullar maintained his belief that Birdwell doesn't meet a five-year state requirement to serve in the senate but said that without a way to pull Birdwell off the ballot and given the conservative nature of the senate district his remaining a candidate would distract and divert resources from other Democratic campaigns in the region.
