Who’s funding the effort to change Denver’s at

A nonprofit that helped unseat left-leaning Democrats in Denver politics is the chief financial backer of a proposal to change how some local elections work.

Referred Question 2G is a ballot measure that would change how the Denver City Council’s at-large seats are elected.

The campaign in favor of 2G is called Majority Vote Denver. It has received just more than $100,000 from Forward Denver, which describes itself as supporting “common-sense approaches” to the city’s problems.

The group’s tax filings link it to efforts to unseat former councilmember Candi CdeBaca and former state Rep. Elisabeth Epps. Forward Denver gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Citizens For a Great Denver, which was involved in both of those campaigns. • Read our voter guide entry for 2G
