Auon'tai Anderson suspends campaign for state House District 8
Former Denver Public School board member Auon'Tai Anderson says he is dropping out of the race for the Colorado State Legislature and will launch an education nonprofit.
Anderson, a Democrat, said he's ending his campaign in the Colorado House District 8 Democratic primary in an effort to "ensure that it remains a historically Black seat in the upcoming election."
He wrote in a blog post that he is launching a nonprofit called The Center for Advancing Black Excellence in Education.
"We commit ourselves to disrupting the systems that cause educational disparities faced by Black students," he wrote.
