20:07Now PlayingCandidates addressed homelessness, crime and affordability in the first of three 9NEWS debates in the 2023 race for Denver Mayor.
This debate was presented in partnership with Metropolitan State University of Denver, the Colorado Latino Leadership, Advocacy and Research Organization (CLLARO) and the City of Denver's Fair Elections Fund.
Thirteen of the 17 mayoral candidates have opted to participate in the Fair Elections Fund: Kelly Brough, Lisa Calderon, Chris Hansen, Leslie Herod, Mike Johnston, Aurelio Martinez, Debbie Ortega, Terrance Roberts, Trinidad Rodriguez, Kwame Spearman, Ean Tafoya, James Walsh, and Thomas Wolf.
Voters in 2018 approved the fund to publicly finance elections. It offers a nine-to-one match for candidates who agree to fundraising limits, and certain conditions, like participating in two debates.
The participating candidates were arranged on stage according to their order on the ballot, as picked by a random draw done by the city.
Four additional candidates aren't receiving Fair Elections Fund matches -- Renate Behrens, Al Gardner, Andy Rougeot, and Robert Treta -- and, therefore, were not part of this debate.
9NEWS' second debate is scheduled for March 14.
