Denver's Mayoral Runoff: Winners and Losers Revealed.

Centrist candidates Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough have secured the most votes in the 2023 mayoral election in Denver, with Johnston holding first place and Brough holding second. Both candidates have benefited from their Independent Expenditure Committees, which kept them on television and raised public awareness about their platforms. The news that either Johnston or Brough will be the next mayor comes as a relief to many in Denver’s business and political establishment. The runoff is a deviation from past elections, when candidates have had more obvious differences, and there has not been a runoff without a candidate of color in four decades.
