| Description | Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has challenged mayoral opponent Jamie Giellis to a series of 12 debates prior to the June 4 runoff election.
With just 25 days remaining before the election, that would amount to a debate almost every other day.
“There’s a clear choice in this election, and the people of Denver deserve a robust conversation on Denver’s future,” Hancock said in a prepared statement.
“I’m eager to reach every voter in Denver and work with them to keep moving Denver forward by extending opportunity to all and tackling our challenges with bold solutions, and not rolling back the clock on everything our city has accomplished together," he added.
Hancock, who is seeking his third and final four-year term as mayor, finished first in the May 7 general election with 38.7% of the vote. But a runoff is required because he did not garner 50% plus one.
Giellis, an urban planner and past president of the River North Arts District, was the second-highest vote-getter in a field of six candidates with 24.9% of the vote, enough to advance to the runoff election. |
