DENVER — Denver City Councilman Chris Hinds couldn’t maneuver his wheelchair onto the stage at the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance school Monday afternoon. The venue didn’t have a ramp for him.
But if Hinds didn’t participate in the debate for the city’s District 10 council seat, he said he’d have to forfeit about $125,000 in campaign financing from Denver’s Fair Elections Fund.
“It was a choice between my campaign’s viability or my dignity,” Hinds told The Denver Post.
