The Rocky Mountain News is running an article about the apparent lack of a candidate to run against incumbent mayor John Hickenlooper. From the article, "Hickenlooper, who has maintained favorable poll numbers in his first term in office, may end up running against himself. Pat Waak, chairwoman of the Colorado Democratic Party, said she hasn't 'heard a whisper' about anybody challenging Hickenlooper...
"In his fundraising letter, Hickenlooper said he plans to use his re-election campaign to "re-energize, recommit and refocus" the efforts of the city and his administration. 'Anybody with any sense would love to continue in the best job in America. I have at least a little sense and this is the best job in America,' Hickenlooper said in a statement read by his spokesperson, Sue Cobb. He also said he wants to 'mount an entertaining (and) enlightening campaign that builds support' around key issues in Denver and the region, including education, homelessness and infrastructure."
Coyote Gulch remembers fondly the eleven or so candidates that ran in 2003. We had a great time at the forums during the election. This time around the mayoral race looks to be pretty dull.
