In Aurora, Mayor Mike Coffman faces a forceful challenge from the left by City Councilman Juan Marcano

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 15:58:22 GMT

When Mike Coffman won the Aurora mayor’s office in 2019, he did so by a hair — and netted just shy of 36% of the vote in a crowded race to lead Colorado’s third-largest city.In the Nov. 7 election, voters in the state’s most racially and ethnically diverse city will decide whether to give the former Republican congressman a second term as mayor. He’s got a battle on his hands, facing outspoken first-term City Councilman Juan Marcano, a progressive Democrat, as his leading challenger in a three-way race.While Aurora’s elections are officially nonpartisan, Marcano and a bloc of Democratic council candidates who are vying for five other seats on the ballot are hoping to restore the council’s leftward lean. In 2021, Coffman-supported candidates swung the majority on the 11-member council — which includes the mayor — in conservatives’ favor, after two cycles that had seen liberal gains.The election’s outcome, and the resul...
