Amid a runoff race that has been largely collegial, Denver mayoral candidate Mike Johnston and his campaign are fuming over a TV ad paid for by an outside spending group backing Kelly Brough that accuses Johnston of lying about his accomplishments. Claims that Johnston has oversold his record to boost his mayoral credentials have become one of the main points of attack on the candidate who finished first in the April 4 general election and has a fundraising advantage in the runoff. The 30-second spot sponsored by the Brough-backing independent expenditure committee A Better Denver opens with the line “Mike Johnston is lying about his leadership.” It accuses Johnston of lying about his role in the state’s testing program for COVID-19 and for lying about his claims that he took on gun lobbyists to pass gun control when he was serving as a state senator. The ad first aired on May 17 and drew a swift response from the Johnston camp.
