In the runoff, everyone will vote for mayor and clerk. And if you live in an undecided council district, you’ll vote for that as well.

In the city general election that ended May 7, Hancock finished well in front of his nearest rival, Giellis – 38.7% to 24.9% – but not so far in front that he avoided a runoff.

Hancock has scored some big-name endorsers – including former mayors John Hickenlooper and Wellington Webb and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet as well as Hillary Clinton. But Giellis boasts the support of the No. 3 and 4 finishers in the mayor’s race, Lisa Calderón and Penfield Tate III.

Also runoff bound is the race for Denver clerk and recorder.

City Councilman Paul López wound up leading his two rivals for the clerk’s post in the city election with 36.9% of the vote. But López will face Peg Perl in the June 4 runoff since he fell short of a 50% plus one vote majority.

López is a term-limited city councilman who has worked as a labor and community organizer. Perl is a lawyer who served as policy counsel at the Federal Elections Commission and as senior counsel for Colorado Ethics Watch.

Voters also will decide Initiative 302, which backers call “Let Denver Vote.”

It would require that the city get voter approval before offering and “public monies, resources, or fiscal guarantees in connection with any future Olympic Games.

Denver recently considered mounting a bid to host a Winter Olympics in 2030 or later, but last December, the U.S. Olympic Committee picked Salt Lake City over Denver as a potential U.S. host city.

As for the city council, eight of the 13 seats were filled election night, but five seats representing various parts of the city are headed for the runoff. (If you don’t live in one of those five districts, you won’t see a council race on your ballot.)

In the race in northwest Denver’s District 1 – an open seat after Councilman Rafael Espinoza ended his bid for re-election last December – Amanda Sandoval enjoyed a wide lead in a field of seven candidates with 31.2% of the vote, but fell well short of the 50% level needed to skip the runoff. She’ll face Mike Somma, who scored 17%.

West Denver’s District 3 also was an open race, with current Councilman Paul López exiting to run for clerk and recorder. Jamie Torres (with 40.2% in the May 7 election) will face Veronica Barela (36.3%) on June 4; two other candidates were eliminated.

In east Denver’s District 5, challenger Amanda Sawyer (40.7%) outpolled Councilwoman Mary Beth Susman (35.9%) in a four-way race; they’ll meet again in the runoff.

In central and northeast Denver’s District 9, incumbent Albus Brooks (44.8%) will face challenger Candi CdeBaca (43.1%) on June 4; two challengers were eliminated.

And in District 10, also in central Denver, Councilman Wayne New (39%) will contend with challenger Chris Hinds (30.3%) in the runoff following a four-way race May 7.
