Mike Johnston will take the oath of office to become Denver’s 46th mayor this morning at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House.The former school principal and state senator emerged from a crowded field of mayoral challengers in the city’ spring election on the wings of a substantial fundraising advantage and bold promises like ending street homelessness in Denver in his first four-year term. He takes the reins from outgoing Mayor Michael Hancock at a time when downtown Denver is still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of work-from-home arrangements that have undercut the commercial real estate market.
