Both the Denver Post and Denver Daily News report this morning that Stephanie O’Malley is not running for re-election as County Clerk. In her announcement she made no mention of possible future plans.
Stephanie was appointed by then-Mayor Hickenlooper in Jan. 2007 when it was an appointed position. That same month, the voters (in a VERY small turnout) voted to get rid of the Election Commission and have the County Clerk elected and the Clerk would oversee Elections (as is done in nearly all other counties). Stephanie ran for the seat in May 2007 and won.
The only other person filed to run at this moment is an employee of the Clerk’s office, Jacob Werther. However, with Stephanie’s announcement there are likely to be more to follow.

Tom Downey and Debby Ortega are jumping from council at large to the clerks race.
We need more Irish in our city government.
It’s January 🙂
Since the announcement was made last Wednesday, I have been seriously considering a run for the office of County Clerk. Because of its direct oversite of elections, I care more about this office than any other.
However, I have decided not to run for a variety of issues. In a nutshell, I have been going down a very different life path recently and wish to continue on that course.
I don’t know yet who I will support.
