…like everyone else, I guess. But, to the extent that Bailey’s loss is a blemish on the face of the Gallagher political machine, I’m happy.
Gallagher campaigned actively for Bailey (phone endorsements in the district), and Madison explicitly ran as a candidate independent of machine politics. I wondered if it was a factor.
I think Bailey lost for two reasons…1) Her husband’s aggressive campaign antics that were reported by the press and 2) She didn’t reach out to many of the new residents of the district. I’ve lived in the district for 7 years (in N. City Park area) and have at least met Madison and knew her platform. All I saw of Sharon Bailey were her campaign signs placed on city right of way.
I was quite surprised to see an MLK-laden/”fight the power” flyer/mailer that Bailey was circulating in City Park West the other day. I changed my vote because of it. Sorry Sharon, but I think Denver voters were seeking a diverse city-wide agenda and unfortunately, “fighting the power” isn’t one of them. Denver voters have spoken and have elected a uniter instead of a divider.
Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

Every Bailey campaign decision was made by Gary Sulley
Bailey sat on the School Board in the nineties…..she has been absolutely silent on any educational matters impacting DPS since then. I don’t know why. Nor, is it my District. But when they shut down Manual High School, she was nowhere in sight…I wonder if the African American vote would have been greater, if she had taken a stand….godknows, the African American community was looking for a leader…
With her brains and educational background..she also should have been a great candidate for the gentrification crowd….but if she let Scully run her campaign, then she deserved to lose for that decision alone….
I live in the district, and try to stay pretty tuned in to our neighborhood politics. I met Carla Madison on a number of occasions – planting trees on Earth Day, outside of Safeway, City Park Jazz, and walking door-to-door – but never Sharon Bailey. I never ran into Sharon Bailey, nor anyone campaigning for her. As another poster stated, she seemed to rely on the political machine (I received at least four pre-recorded phone calls). I like Carla, but was otherwise disengaged in the actual process. From my casual observation, though, it gives me hope to know that through determination and non-stop Get Out the Vote efforts, someone can actually win an election.
I met someone who said that she met someone who had filed an employment lawsuit against the City of Denver and was threatened with jail if she did not withdraw the lawsuit. I know this is hearsay but the woman was supposedly working at the Denver Post in Dec 2005. I was arrested three times for filing non fraudulent pleadings in cases defended by David Brougham, whom I think also defends the City of Denver. Without an Act of Congress being cited and without an indictment, statement of probable cause, evidentiary hearing or government prosecutor, I was held once for over 4 months, held again from 5/11/07 to 6/1/07, transported in chains across state lines, and strip searched at gunpoint. The warrant and transport forms had a place to fill in the U.S. code but that was not filled in on one form and crossed out on the other.
“No citizen shall be imprisoned or otherwise detained by the United States except pursuant to an Act of Congress…. The control and management of Federal penal and correctional institutions, except military or naval institutions, shall be vested in the Attorney General… TITLE 18 PART III CHAPTER 301 § 4001. Limitation on detention; control of prisons
The assistant U.S. attorney Robert Anderson stated in court on 5/11/07 that the U.S. government was not a party, but after he said that I was held at gunpoint for three weeks, taken 1200 miles against my will, and forced to expose my genitals to strangers. Then they let me go with no conditions. I have no criminal record at all at either state or federal level.
Maybe it is not “safe” to work for the City of Denver or any other Colorado municpality
