Denver city councilman Michael Hancock handily defeated his opponent Chris Romer in the race to become the city’s 45th mayor, making him the second African-American to be elected to that post. As of Tuesday night, he led Romer by a margin of 56.6 percent to 43.4 percent. Hancock will be sworn into office on July 18.
“Today I am stronger than when I started this race. I’m no stranger to challenges. No one expected a poor kid from Northeast Denver to become a city councilman. And 16 months ago, no one gave us much of a chance to be standing here tonight,” the mayor-elect said in his victory speech. “I’m grateful, beyond words, for the opportunities I’ve had to lift myself up, and for the people who never gave up on me. Our city holds great promise for all its people. With a vision of a better future, it is time we lift our city up on our shoulders and carry it forward.” 
“We start tomorrow to engage our entire community as we move with urgent resolve for Denver’s future. We start tomorrow to find the best, the brightest, the most committed for our city and make sure every voice is at the table,” Hancock said. “We start tomorrow to improve our schools in every neighborhood and give everyone a chance to succeed. A chance like I had when I was that young kid who wanted to be the first Black mayor of Denver.”
