Hank Brown, the former U.S. senator and former University of Colorado president, on Wednesday said he is no longer backing GOP gubernatorial hopeful Dan Maes and is "looking around" for a new candidate.
Additionally, part of Maes' grassroots base, the 9.12 Project Colorado Coalition, has requested an in-person meeting with Maes before the end of the week to discuss concerns about how he's running his campaign, according to group leader Lu Busse.
Brown said he had serious reservations about recurring credibility issues surrounding Maes, including Wednesday's Denver Post story saying Maes embellished details about his law enforcement background.
"I'm concerned about the revelations. I'm withdrawing my endorsement,"
