The Bachelor withdraws from Colorado residence race after sooner or later

seems like The Bachelor is sticking to his day job after all.

only one day after the Denver post said that Ben Higgins had formally filed to run for a seat within the Colorado house of Representatives, the "Bachelor" celebrity released a statement saying his withdrawal from the race.

The remark, posted on the 28-12 months-historical application salesman's candidate site, says: "I remorseful about that I ought to withdraw my candidacy. regardless of my surest efforts to pursue this opportunity in first rate faith, I these days obtained guidance that has made this sort of pursuit unworkable. because of cases beyond my handle, I aren't capable of flow forward as a candidate."

Higgins had neglected the cut-off date to enter the GOP simple in Colorado's essentially Democratic District four, but he talked about that if Republican nominee Willie Pinkston, who was having doubts about running, stepped aside, he would run for the seat. Pinkston reportedly dropped out of the race on July eight.

Had he remained in the race, Higgins would have confronted the Democratic incumbent , Rep. Dan Pabon, who on Tuesday acquired a sentence of 1-yr's probation stemming from his St. Patrick's Day DUI arrest.

Higgins has been tight-lipped on social media about what lay behind his brief-lived stint as a baby-kisser.
