Race background
Democratic nomination
Democratic incumbent Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper ran for re-election in 2014 alongside Lieutenant Governor Joseph Garcia (D). Hickenlooper and Garcia were first elected together in 2010. They were uncontested for re-nomination in the Democratic primary on June 24, 2014.
Republican nomination
On June 24, Colorado voters selected Bob Beauprez as the Republican nominee for governor. It was the only contested primary for a statewide office held that day. Beauprez represented Colorado's 7th Congressional District from 2003 to 2007 and he was the Republican nominee for governor in 2006.[6] He drew 30 percent of the primary vote, according to unofficial totals, defeating Tom Tancredo (27 percent), Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler (23 percent) and Mike Kopp (20 percent).[7] Gessler passed up a possible second term as secretary of state in 2014 in favor of an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to challenge Hickenlooper for the state's top office. Since Gessler was knocked out of the governor's race, he was unable to make a bid for re-election as secretary of state.
On the advertising front, the primary campaign season was a relatively quiet one for the governor's race, a trend which was not continued in the general election. According to the candidates' campaign finance reports due July 1, Hickenlooper raised nearly 3millioninpreparationforthesecondphaseofthe2014campaigncycleandendedthereportingperiodwith3 million in preparation for the second phase of the 2014 campaign cycle and ended the reporting period with 3millioninpreparationforthesecondphaseofthe2014campaigncycleandendedthereportingperiodwith579,268 of cash on hand. Meanwhile, Beauprez, having weathered a tough primary battle, was left with 34,921cashonhand.Beauprez′totalfundraisingforthecycleasofJune25was34,921 cash on hand. Beauprez' total fundraising for the cycle as of June 25 was 34,921cashonhand.Beauprez′totalfundraisingforthecycleasofJune25was351,921, and he already faced loans exceeding $500,000, most of which he lent to himself.[8]
General election
Hickenlooper, Beauprez, Matthew Hess (Libertarian), Harry Hempy (Green) and various unaffiliated candidates competed in the general election on November 4, 2014.[9][10]
In September 2014, Governing rated the race between Hickenlooper and Beauprez as a "Toss-up" while The Cook Political Report gave Hickenlooper a slight advantage with a "Lean D" rating.[11][12]

2015
On his 2015 mayoral campaign website, Giavanni highlighted the following issues:[13]
| “ | As Mayor I will:Work with everyone who loves Denver to set the vision and expand our role as a world leader. Work with everyone who loves Denver to find non-partisan, pragmatic solutions to the most pressing issues we face as a community. Ensure "Five-Star Service" to constituents via all City and County services. Honor our annex agreements with our neighbors to ensure that the expansion of DIA benefits everyone in the region. Comprehensively review the feasibility of bringing NASCAR, Grand Prix racing, Winter Nationals and similar spectator sports to Denver and redeveloping existing stadium assets. Coordinate policy with law enforcement, social services, educators and other critical actors to ensure the long-term reduction of gang-related and drug-related crime and violence. Coordinate policy with local, state, and federal authorities and coordinate city services to ensure the safe and efficient administration of our legal medical and recreational industry. Work to empower teachers to guide their students' individual growth, whether that be to university or vocational and technical college or directly to service career entry. Ensure that non-resident, Denver business owners have a say in city government. Comprehensively review the city growth plan to ensure that development positively impacts neighborhoods and road maintenance never impacts business, communities, or safety. Reduce the tax burden for senior citizen homeowners as they near retirement. Ensure that citizens have city resources to ensure they are adequately advised on the value of their land before selling to developers.[14] | ” |
