Elected in a runoff election last month, Johnston was sworn in as the city’s 46th mayor during an inauguration ceremony at the Denver Performing Arts Complex Monday morning.
As voters pointed out in a survey during the election, Denver is facing several issues, including affordability, homelessness and rising crime, but the mayor didn’t provide specifics of how his administration would handle them during Monday's speech. But Johnston said he can’t do it alone. He called on citizens to help make Denver “America’s best city.”
