Despite a flagging economy and cam-paign fatigue from the contentious 2010general election season, the race for Den-ver mayor is shaping up to be the most ex-pensive on record.
Six mayoral candidates, including onewho has dropped out, raised nearly $3.7million through Thursday, according to re-ports filed with the Denver clerk and re-corder’s office.
That is just slightly more than what wasraised through April during the record-breaking 2003 election, in which Denverbusinessman John Hickenlooper beat cityAuditor Don Mares in a June runoff.
Tuesday is when ballots from theall-mail-in election will be counted. If nocandidate gets more than 50 percent of thevote, the top two vote-getters will com-pete in a June 7 runoff.
As of Thursday, about 71,000 of the298,000 ballots mailed out had been re-turned.
Former state Sen. Chris Romer is themoney leader, bringing in $1.44 millionover the course of the campaign andspending $1.38 million of it, including near-ly $1 million to Chicago-based AKPD Mes-sage and Media, a political advertising con-sulting company.
