Lisa Calderón announces endorsement in Denver mayor's race
The third place finisher in the voting for the Denver mayor's race on Tuesday announced her endorsement in the runoff election. Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough are the two candidates competing in the runoff, and Lisa Calderón says she's endorsing Johnston.
Calderón's political team interviewed both candidates and created a grading system to come to this decision. She says it was "very hard to come by."
This endorsement was for harm reduction for the city of Denver, we still have 3 progressive candidates running for city council (@Shontel4Council @CandiCdeBacaD9 @ShannonLovesD10 ) and we need to get them to the finish line. This is about building power. pic.twitter.com/TnmRd04cUo

According to CBS News Colorado's Marissa Armas, the endorsement "will likely sway many progressive and/or Latino voters."
