Dear Supporters, Friends and Family:

Over the past month, I have met with friends, family, supporters, campaign consultants, elected officials and campaign staff regarding the viability of my campaign to become the first Democrat to represent Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. After much deliberation, and for the good of the party and the people of this district, I have decided to suspend my campaign.

Though my campaign may be suspended, I remain committed to work with local parties and candidates to change the status quo in the 6th Congressional District. For far too long our progressive ideals and values have fallen on deaf ears in the 6th Congressional District – a district that has become synonymous with the hate-filled, bigoted rhetoric of people like Tom Tancredo. The Republican establishment has turned its backs on the people of this district – people who are losing their jobs, their health care coverage, their ability to provide for their families. Too many in this district can’t afford to send their kids to college, while still others are forced to chose between putting gas in their cars or paying their mortgage. No one in this economy is immune – not Democrats, not Republicans, not Independents.

I extend my appreciation to those of you who supported my campaign, who provided me with encouragement, and who recognized that a Democrat can win Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. It has been a wonderful and humbling experience meeting with you and hearing firsthand what you expect from your elected officials. Last, a special “thank you” to my wife and children for allowing me to take this journey with you over the past 10 months.

Warmest regards, and with my deepest, heartfelt gratitude,

David Canter
