Denver Public Schools Board Vice President AuontaiAnderson is running for a second term to fill an at-large seat in November.
Anderson will be challenged by Tattered Covered CEO Kwame Spearman, who previously ran for Denver mayor before dropping out of the race roughly three weeks before Election Day.
"I talked with family, and we had come to the reasoning of 'no,'" Anderson said."But I told them we needed to finish the job.""I actually want more challengers. I want us to have a diverse field of candidates for Denverites to be able to look and see my track record, but also be able to see other folks say they have a good idea," Anderson said."I'm just excited for this election and I hope more people get into the race.
"I hope it plays a significant portion of this election because I think we need to be a leader in safety across Colorado," he said. "The student that we lost died of suicide. Those deans will be forever changed. And I am going to make sure that I listen to their voices to make sure we change policy so that nobody else has to be put in that position again," Anderson said.
