Regime Change - Denver City Election Election results Peña 1983 - 1983 was a modern turning point in Denver politics. The excitement and perceived closeness of the race along with powerful get-out-the-vote efforts produced record voter turnout. The general election result was a surprise with the incumbent in a weak third position and the powerful district attorney losing out to an Hispanic former legislator. The close result in the runoff election (which was repeated four years later in the 1987 runoff) framed the Peña era from start to finish as one of strong and closely matched political blocks contending for influence. |
