2:16Now PlayingElection night did not determine a winner in Denver's mayoral race, but voters are closer to knowing who will be headed to a runoff from the enormous pool of candidates.
As of 10 p.m. Tuesday, Mike Johnston leads the race with 24.66% of the vote, followed by Kelly Brough with 22.46%.
They were two of 17 candidates -- Lisa Calderón, Trinidad Rodriguez, Aurelio Martinez, Thomas Wolf, Al Gardner, Terrance Roberts, Kwame Spearman, Renate Behrens, Chris Hansen, Johnston, James Walsh, Ean Thomas Tafoya, Andy Rougeout, Leslie Herod, Robert Treta, Deborah “Debbie” Ortega and Brough -- who appeared on the 2023 ballot, though Spearman dropped out weeks before Election Day.
A winner must secure 50% of the vote, and with 16 candidates, that was nearly impossible to achieve in the initial election. The runoff will happen June 6. The top two candidates will compete.
In sixth place, Hansen told supporters Tuesday night it was clear he wouldn't make the runoff.
