At an assembly that drawing 350 leaders from 20 institutions of Coloradans for the Common Good (CCG), community leaders secured commitments from Denver Mayoral runoff candidates around eviction, wage theft, mental health, and workers' pensions.
After CCG leaders shared personal stories, candidates were asked to answer 'yes' or 'no' to ten proposals addressing specific housing, mental health, gun safety, workers' rights, and immigrants' rights issues.
“If the answer is 'Yes,' we’re going to cheer and applaud,” explained CCG leader Joyce Brooks. “If the answer is 'No,' we’ll just be silent and wait for them to elaborate at the end." Kelly Brough responded affirmatively to all ten proposals while Mike Johnston answered YES to nine of the ten.
Both candidates committed to extending subpoena power to the City’s Auditor to effectively investigate cases of wage theft.
