A councilwoman in a Colorado district lost her reelection bid by a wide voter margin, only a month after a video of her advocating for reparations was shared on social media.
The vote tally for the election in District 9 showed incumbent candidate Candi CdeBaca lose to challenger Darrell Watson on Tuesday night, with Watson getting 60.71% of the votes while CdeBaca trailed far behind at 39.29%. CdeBaca's 21.42% margin loss marked one of the biggest blowout losses in the last 10 years, according to KDVR.
Following her Tuesday night defeat, CdeBaca stated that while the election results were not what she had hoped for, the intent of the election was to bring"more progressive candidates to the table." The councilwoman also stated the election was not about her, but rather about"building power for community."
I’m so grateful for our community, for everyone who poured their hearts and souls into this movement. I will not stop fighting alongside my community for a city that truly cares for all of its people, because District 9 and Denver are my heart, always.❤️ pic.twitter.com/x9dwilpfOVCLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
