Denver school board Vice President Auon’tai Anderson will run to represent northeast Denver in the Colorado House of Representatives in 2024, dropping his school board re-election bid and pivoting into a crowded race to replace departing Rep. Leslie Herod.
He said he decided to run after speaking with friends, family, and a parent and student from Denver East High School. He said he was also frustrated with how the most recent legislative session — which featured sweeping Democratic majorities pass key agenda items while stuttering on more progressive policies — unfolded.
He pledged to take on reproductive health, a topic upon which Democratic lawmakers have had near-uniform agreement in recent years; gun reform; and raising the minimum wage statewide.
