Regime Change - Denver City Election Denver exceptionalism - Denver and its mayor are an exceptional force in Colorado politics. The city came to its prominence through aggressive boosterism by business and civic leaders dedicated to growth. It had to fight for survival at its founding and has seldom stopped promoting its interests since. Denver’s political and civic leaders rapidly formed partnerships to divert rail that was passing through Wyoming, win the state’s capitol and claim an exceptional share of the state’s water. Its current revival is the product of voter support of major urban investments, including the new airport, sports stadiums, cultural facilities and convention center. Denverites sees themselves as not just Colorado’s first city but the capitol of the Rocky Mountain empire. |
