Here's an article about early interest in running for Denver City Council in 2007. From the article, "Former state Sen. Penfield Tate is eyeing an open seat on the Denver City Council next year...
"Interest is primarily focused on the two council seats that will open because of term limits: Neither Elbra Wedgeworth nor Kathleen MacKenzie can run for re-election. So far, only one person has made it official. Chris Nevitt, policy director of the union-backed Front Range Economic Strategy Center, has filed paperwork to run for the District 7 seat held by MacKenzie. MacKenzie's senior analyst, Julie Connor, also said she would definitely run for the seat. Councilwoman Carol Boigon's aide, Shelley Watters, treasurer of the Platt Park People's Association, confirmed that she is running for the same seat. Rocker Jake Schroeder, lead singer of Opie Gone Bad, said he hopes to parlay his community-service experience into a run for MacKenzie's seat as well...
"There is speculation among local politicians that Councilwoman Marcia Johnson may get a challenge from former Councilwoman Joyce Foster...
"Early indications are that he [Penfield Tate] might face a challenge from Central Baptist Church's senior pastor, the Rev. Willie Simmons."
