Johnston starts out the front runner thanks to his money edge but he’s got a smarmy quality. Doesn’t come off as very sincere . But Brough will need to quickly define MJ as a toady to outstate billionaires and business interests and hope for some Hick nostalgia. My question – will Hick endorse his former COS?
My poll question might not have been who will win. It would be "how soon will the campaigns go negative?"
You mean they haven't already?
My bar for what constitutes "nasty negative" is fairly high.
That poll is pretty depressing, but we should remember that Johnston has never won a truly contested election – he was handed the job of State Senator by 64 people on a vacancy committee in 2009, then relied on incumbency and money to stay in power for the next two cycles. When he ran for governor in 2018 he was embarrassed in the primary by Jared Polis, and he bailed on his announced candidacy for Senator in 2020 shortly after John Hickenlooper tossed his hat in the ring.
Johnston just wants to be elected to something – he doesn't really care what, as long as it's an important enough position to satisfy his voracious ego.
Answering the question: How could this interminable mayoral election become any worse??
So, when was the last time Denver elected a one-term (or less) mayor?
Best I can tell, Richard Batterton was a one-termer from 1959-63.
