The money could go fast with sixteen Denver mayoral candidates...and counting!
So far, the city has paid out a total of $2,585,160 to candidates for numerous municipal offices based on qualifying contributions.
So far, 49 of the 62 candidates signed up for the 2023 Denver election have opted into the Fair Elections Fund."It’s pretty exciting to me that it’s so well-received by candidates," Perkins says. And candidates are still getting into the race. Chris Hansen, a state senator who just announced his run for mayor, plans to qualify for the Fair Elections Fund. Mike Johnston, the former CEO ofannounce his candidacy a day later, also plans to participate. That could add another $1.5 million in funding.
"We do think that in a scenario where we might run out of money, it would likely happen during the run-off." Perkins hopes that the money allocated to the Fair Elections Fund is enough to cover the race this time around. But he's open to the idea of Denver City Council adding more money, whether before the first round on April 4 or before the runoff races on June 6.
