Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:19:18 GMT

A campaign finance complaint alleging Denver mayoral candidate Lisa Calderón and incumbent City Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca circumvented city law by sharing polling data and other resources without properly documenting it on campaign finance reports was dismissed for lack of evidence.Hearing officer Macon Cowles found that the complaint filed by Kwon Atlas, CdeBaca’s then-opponent in the race for the City Council District 9 seat, in late March failed to meet standards to demonstrate that the two candidates violated general campaign finance regulations.Atlas contended that Calderón and CdeBaca using the polling data without recording it was an in-kind contribution to their campaigns and violated election law even if it came before Calderón filed her candidate paperwork. The value of the polling data also may have exceeded campaign contribution limits for candidates participating in the city’s Fair Election Fund program.Cowles explained his decision to dismiss the complaint...
