Ballots will arrive for Denverites again during the coming week, albeit much shorter in length. While I live just outside the city lines, if I could cast a vote for mayor, it would be for Mike Johnston.
Both my personal history with Johnston and watching him closely on the campaign trail convinced me he is the right person to lead Denver, and the surrounding regional metro area, into the future.
This is no knock on his opponent. In every interaction I had with Kelly Brough, and there were plenty while I worked on another campaign through the initial April election, she struck me as very competent, warm and kind. I think she would make a fine mayor.
But Johnston offers something more than fine.
