Rep. Matt Gray will not run for reelection to the state House for a final term following his arrest last week on suspicion of driving under the influence, the Colorado Democratic Party said Tuesday.
The Broomfield Democrat withdrew his candidacy for House District 33 for a fourth and final term in the state House, and the party will utilize a vacancy committee to pick a replacement Democrat to put on the ballot, as he is currently the only Democrat on the primary ballot for June, according to a spokesperson for the party.
Gray, a former prosecutor, had gone to pick his kids up from Coyote Ridge Elementary School following an after-school program. When police officers were called after he was suspected of being intoxicated and smelling of alcohol, he told officers he was having mental health issues and told officers he was a state representative.
An officer wrote in the report Gray’s eyes were bloodshot, that he was unable to finish is thoughts and appeared unsteady. But officers said they did not see any alcohol containers in his car.
