The Denver city election has been a snoozefest, with only two races offering much in the way of news. The most competitive race is in City Council District 7, where the website Denver Politics runs down the money leaders:

Chris Nevitt $65,209
Shelly Watters $52,723
Julie Connor $21,800

But of course, such raw numbers tell only a small part of the story. Trends over time and changes within the donor base are also crucial. For instance, even at the beginning of the race, there was a great deal of money ($41,775 to be exact). Since then, the scale of monthly contributions has risen somewhat unevenly: Shelly Watters’ contributions have diminished while Nevitt has surged and Julie Connor is increasing the pace.
