They will certainly be breaking a glass ceiling if Denver voters choose Lisa Calderon as their following mayor. That much is apparent.

Much less apparent is that they will be electing the most educated Denver Mayor ever.

Lisa Calderon, presently a professor at Regis College, holds a legislation level. A master's degree. And a doctorate.

It's an excellent resumé. And after 8 years of Michael Hancock, who concerned the work with only a collection of political work in his history, it will certainly bean extraordinary contrast to have Calderon in workplace.

It will certainly also mean that Denver voters have actually chosen credentials and also expertise over cronyism. It might be a quantum leap for a city that has actually had a hard time to balance boomtown advancement with growing needs for affordable housing, community education as well as executing on standard city services.
