Letters: Finding the right mayor in a large field of candidates

Finding the right mayor in a large field of candidatesRe: “Mike Johnston for mayor,” March 12 editorialThe Denver Post Editorial Board’s endorsement of Mike Johnston for mayor is a blatant continuation of the past 12 years of Michael Hancock’s power alliance with wealthy business owners and lobbyists. The contributions to Johnston’s campaign are proof that the imbalance of power would continue to the detriment of the needs of the masses.As an owner of a commercial property with small business tenants and a community equity activist in Globeville for many years, it is another betrayal of promises, passions, and stakeholder investments of time and energy in low-income neighborhoods such as Globeville. I fear that with Johnston as mayor, the least-resourced neighborhoods will continue to bear the brunt of the most egregious problems in the city: homeless encampments, crime, drugs, non-existent basic infrastructure, toxic pollution, and more. Denver needs a...
