Lisa Calderón, whose progressive campaign for Denver mayorin April’s general election, has endorsed Mike Johnston in the runoff stage of the race that concludes on June 6.
Calderón announced her support for Johnston on Tuesday morning outside the La Alma Recreation Center in west Denver’s, a pocket of the city with deep ties to the Chicano Movement. Ballots for the runoff are being mailed to voters this week. “This is about the future versus the past, and that our ideas actually can potentially take root and flourish in a Johnston administration,” Calderón said.on if she planned to endorse Johnston or Kelly Brough, the former head of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, in the runoff.
Johnston came in first in the general election with 24.5% of the vote, Brough second with 20% and Calderón third with 18.2%. In her concession statement, Calderón was critical of the top finishers, both of whom benefit from significant outside spending. “I ran this campaign because corporate-backed candidates will never get us to liberation, racial equity or gender justice for marginalized groups and working people,” she said at the time.
