DescriptionMayoral candidates and their supporters gathered Tuesday night in the lobby of the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s Office to learn in what order the long list of names will appear on the upcoming municipal ballot — with the outcome determined by strips of paper plucked by elections staff out of a raffle spinner.

Supporters of Lisa Calderón, a progressive activist who placed third in the 2019 mayor’s race, cheered when her name was drawn first from the pot.

Several minutes and 16 names later, Kelly Brough, the former head of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and the race’s top fundraiser, broke into laughter as she realized she would be drawn dead last.
