If municipal races aren't decided on April 4, top vote-getters will go to a June 6 runoff...with the help of public financing.
Dozens of other candidates for municipal office, fromto auditor, also collected FEF money, but the fund isn't totally tapped out. That's important, because numerous municipal races, including the mayor's race, are almost certain to head to a runoff, which is required if no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the votes.
Some of the $8 million earmarked for the fund must go to its administration, which includes a handful of salaries in the Clerk and Recorder's Office. The office isn't sure yet how much that will take from the remaining funds."I'm sorry; we’re still calculating costs. Checks went out and candidates are returning money, so it’s a moving target," says Lucille Wenegieme, a spokesperson for the Clerk and Recorder's Office.
"I'm pleased to be able to return a large chunk of money to the Fair Elections Fund for other candidates to access as needed in the runoff," says Kashmann, who only planned to use the public dollars if he were challenged and had to run a competitive campaign."I am in full support of policies that help to blunt the historic impact of big donors over the average Denver resident. We have more work to do in that regard, but we're off to a good start.
