Ten candidates debated everything from creationism to UFOs. And Michael Hancock wanted to bring casinos to town.
Michael HancockIn 2011, the last mayoral race without an incumbent on the ballot, Hancock ran against nine other contenders, and that one was plenty wild, too. And weird.During a March 2011 mayoral forum at the Denver Athletic Club, Hancock, then a member of Denver City Council, campaigned on the idea that the next mayor should bring casinos to Denver.
That campaign idea never panned out. Establishing casinos in Denver would require approval from Colorado voters through a statewide ballot measure. But since voters first approved allowing limited stakes gaming in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek more than three decades ago, they have rejected all proposals to allow gambling in other geographic areas.At an April 2011 mayoral forum at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Hancock was asked whether he believed in evolution.
The mistakes didn't end up costing Hancock that much. He cruised to victory in the June 2011 runoff against Romer.Although the Denver mayor has no authority over the Denver Public Schools system, mayoral candidates in 2011 often spoke as though they were running for a spot on the school board instead of mayor.
