Two GOP state house candidates announced in recent days they are dropping out of their respective races, ColoradoPols.com notes.

Fort Collins City Council member Aislinn Kottwitz withdrew her HD-52 candidacy for a Colorado House seat Tuesday, leaving Republicans searching for a challenger to state Rep. John Kefalas, according to The Fort Collins Coloradoan’s Bob Moore.

Edgar Antillon, a GOP challenger recruited to run against Cherilyn Peniston in HD-35, has withdrawn from that race, determining after some campaigning that he “was unable to generate enough support to win.”
