The Denver mayoral election rushes into its last seven weeks with another $680,000 collected during January, positions on the ballot decided by draw and debates started.
The six top fundraising candidates maintained their positions with Kelly Brough still leading at $848,000 followed by Republican self-funder Andy Rougeot putting in another quarter million to reach $787,000. Lester Herod is in third with $624,000 and Mike Johnston followed with $446,000. Johnston had the highest total collected in January of $129,000.
Brough and Debbie Ortega share the two last places on the ballot, 17th and 16th respectively. Lisa Calderon with anemic fundraising will be at the top of the ballot.
The first full 17 candidate “debate” was at Regis University on Thursday (2-9-23) and Channel 9 will host a debate on February 16.
