Denver's fast-approaching municipal election will reveal the real impact of the redrawn council district boundaries — and the stakes are high.
to make running for office more accessible, more people have tossed their hats in Denver City Council races.Catch up quick:
The boundaries, reflective of population shifts in the 2020 census, dictate what sections of the city the 11 council members represent . Several neighborhoods switched districts, including East Colfax, Country Club, Cherry Creek, Rosedale, Valverde and Union Station, while others saw smaller tweaks. Emily Lapel, a former legislative analyst with the city who helped with redistricting, noted residents in neighborhoods like Union Station and East Colfax lobbied to be moved to other districts.East Colfax residents wanted to be looped into a district with similar, working-class and ethnically diverse neighborhoods like Montbello and Northeast Park Hill, who often have different priorities
Now, Lapel is watching whether the shared boundaries between the three neighborhoods will make for a strong enough voice compared with bigger, wealthier neighborhoods, like Central Park.It's too early to say whether the new boundaries will shift political power in the city, Lapel said.
