To learn more about the candidates and how the contest is shaping up, Colorado Politics and The Denver Gazette are hosting a townhall with political experts.

The panelists are Ian Silverii, a veteran Democratic strategist; Alan Salazar, the chief of staff of Denver Mayor Michael Hancock; strategist Kate Roberts at the 76 Group and Mike Kopp, President and CEO of Colorado Concern.

The next mayor faces big challenges magnified by Denver's unique characteristics, including homelessness, housing affordability and crime.

Denver’s all-mail municipal election is set for April 4. If none of the candidates secures more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates will face off in a runoff election in June.
