Runoff election results: Denver City Council

Tuesday's runoff election determined the winners of city council seats in Districts 8, 9 and 10.

DENVER — In addition to electing Mike Johnston as the city's next mayor in Tuesday's runoff election, voters in three Denver City Council districts picked their next councilperson. 

In April's election, voters were tasked with choosing one councilmember for each of the city's 11 districts, and two councilmembers for at-large seats, which represent the entire city. Three of the district races went to runoffs.

Unofficial results released Wednesday show Darrell Watson winning the District 9 race over incumbent Candi CdeBaca. Incumbent Chris Hinds kept his District 10 seat over a challenge from Shannon Hoffman. 

In District 8, Shontel M. Lewis leads Brad Revare by less than 400 votes. 

The unofficial results released Wednesday do not include remaining military and overseas ballots, or ballots that need to be cured. The clerk's office said there are 1,495 ballots still to be cured. 

Final official results will be posted after they're certified on June 20. 

Council District 7

District 7 was set to go to a runoff, but one of the candidates, Nick Campion announced in April that he was withdrawing from the race, making Flor Alvidrez the next councilperson. Alvidrez led the April 4 election, with 38.5% of the vote.

Council District 8

District 8 will be represented by a new councilmember, since incumbent Christoper Herndon, who took office in 2011, was term-limited.

The final unofficial results show Shontel M. Lewis leading Brad Revare by 356 votes. 

Lewis led the April 4 election, with 35.71% of the vote. Revare was just behind, with 33.47% of the vote. 

Council District 9

Council District 10
