About What’s Inside

This voter guide compares candidates’ stances on some of the most pressing issues facing Denver, especially those facing young people. We asked the candidates if they’d raise Denver’s minimum wage to $15 (if they had the authority to), if they would support increasing protections for renters in Denver (we have some of the worst renters’ rights in the country), if they would support increased accountability for Denver police, and if they’d support putting a carbon tax on our utility bills to fund investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs to fight climate change. The candidates answered yes/no questions on a survey of ours, and we supplemented that info with their explanation of “Why or why not?” when appropriate.
