Elections
2015
The city of Denver, Colorado, held elections for mayor and city council on May 5, 2015. A runoff took place on June 2, 2015. The filing deadline for candidates who wished to run in this election was March 11, 2015. All 13 city council seats were up for election. In District 2, candidates included Fran Coleman, Kevin Flynn, Danny F. Lopez, John Kidd, Jr. and Jeanne Labuda. Because no candidate received over 50 percent of the vote in the general election, the top-two candidates — Flynn and Kidd — faced each other in a runoff on June 2.[1] Flynn was the winner.[2] Incumbent Jeanne Faatz did not run for re-election.[3]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
