Dark Money, the Scammer Running Unopposed, and Is Denver in the Midwest?

Election day is just a week away and while it’s an off-year, there are plenty of important races and issues at stake across the metro area. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are talking about the unique character running unopposed in Englewood, a potentially pivotal measure on homelessness in Boulder, and all the dark money swaying the races for the Denver Public Schools Board. Then, Paul and Bree respond to your comments on Hawaiian food, Fort Collins, and whether or not Denver is part of the Midwest. 

For more on the DPS board races, our friends at Chalkbeat have a breakdown of who’s running and what’s at stake.
