Michael Johnston and Kelly Brough were the top-two finishers in the nonpartisan general election for mayor of Denver, Colorado on April 4. They received 24% and 20% of the vote, respectively. Since no candidate received a majority of the vote, Johnston and Brough will head to a runoff on June 6.
There were 16 candidates on the ballot and six write-in candidates, the largest mayoral field in Denver’s history. Ahead of the election, no candidate had polled above 10%.
While the race is officially nonpartisan, both candidates are Democrats.
