ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- It seems while the race for governor in Colorado is growing, one Republican candidate may be dropping out.

Brauchler announced his campaign for Colorado's governor in April. Only two Republicans have held the governor's seat in Colorado in the last 60 years. Bill Owens served as the last Republican governor from 1999 until 2007.

Brauchler prosecuted the Aurora Theater Shooting trial.

It is unclear when Brauchler will make the formal announcement.
