Denver Mayor: Tattered Cover's CEO Kwame Spearman is running for mayor
Tattered Cover CEO Kwame Spearman has filed to join the crowded race for Denver mayor, which may be the most powerful position in Colorado.
On Jan. 7, Denverite first saw Spearman’s name appear on the Denver Campaign Finance Dashboard, where other active mayoral candidates appear.
Spearman explained why he’s entered such a crowded race.
“Not only are we emerging from a pandemic, but we’re trying to stave off a recession,” he said. “And right now what the city needs in this critical stage is a clear vision and policy and most importantly plans that can actually result in action.
“You know, for me, this is not about a race that is entirely focused on winning,” he continued. “This is a race that’s about my home.”
He views himself as a “neighborhood mayor” that will focus on efforts to bring each community what it needs, from community-specific policing to development initiatives that increase housing density where it is desired. Spearman himself lives in Whittier.
