Both Johnston and Brough have delivered plans addressing the needs of unhoused community members. We asked a question from the Sun Valley Community Coalition on each candidate’s plan to address the need for affordable housing for low income Denverites and the missing middle that does not displace current residents.I'm so glad that you raised this because this is what we're finding.
Continuing on the subject of policing and safety, the next question comes from Reverend Ben Sanders of New Hope Baptist Church. He asks, what policies each candidate would enact to create a system that holds bad police officers accountable?Great to see you, Ben. And always great to see you preach – you people should show up at New Hope and hear him. I do think a really important part of this is accountability.
