Kelly Brough is asking voters in liberal Denver to elect her mayor based on extensive city government experience, but it's her dozen years leading a business group that may pose her greatest challenge.
. “They were adversaries on everything. … I think there’s maybe one or two bills that I ever ran for community where they weren’t.”
“I probably would have signed it as mayor,” Brough said, “because your interest now is just Denver. But I will tell you, as mayor, I’m still compelled by my own residents — if they work in Englewood, they’re not eligible for the same minimum wage. I think that is problematic.” Denver mayoral candidate Kelly Brough, front, answers questions from voters at Logan House Coffee in Denver on Thursday, May 11, 2023. Supporters of Brough take a wider view of her Chamber work, pointing to ways she affected the organization’s trajectory.
“What I can probably speak to best is how hard the city is to run,” she said during an extensive interview with Denver Post reporters earlier this month. “Maybe people who haven’t been there underestimate the kind of management . … What I know, with me, is I’ve done that before. I know how to do it. And so I think we can move faster to make progress on some of the critical issues we face today.”
Brough has followed her curiosity since she switched her major at MSU from electrical engineering to sociology. It was a liberal arts field that she said posed more challenges for someone with dyslexia, but it sounded far more interesting, and she “wanted to save the world.”
