May election update Here's the skinny on the 2007 Denver Municipal Election this spring, from the Rocky Mountain News. From the article, "Though there's still nearly a month for more candidates to join the race, no one has even begun gathering signatures to run against Charlie Brown, Michael Hancock, Judy Montero or Jeanne Robb. But the others seeking re-election are facing at least one challenger, according to a candidate-petition log provided by the Denver Election Commission... "No one has filed papers as of yet to run against Auditor Dennis Gallagher, and only one person is collecting signatures to run against Mayor John Hickenlooper. Dwight Henson [2003's homeless candidate], who has no political experience, said he knows that beating Hickenlooper, who has one of the highest approval ratings in the state, is a long shot. Henson tried but failed to collect enough signatures to get on the ballot and run for mayor in 2003... "So far, seven potential candidates - more than any other council race - are lining up to replace Rodriguez, who is being considered for a spot on the federal Election Assistance Commission. If Rodriguez leaves before the May 1 municipal election, her seat would remain vacant until then... The Rocky has a list of all interested candidates for City Council so far. Coyote Gulch repeats his offer to help any and all candidates start a weblog (and website), free of charge.
