Jamie Torres, the council member representing District 3, spoke to the council’s diversity at the start of Monday’s ceremony.
Johnston opened his roughly 10-minute address to the crowd at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House with praise for the newly-elected council. In his first media interview as Denver’s mayor, Denver7 Chief Investigator Tony Kovaleski asked Johnston what the makeup of the new council means for the city. “It's not going to be squabbles, it's not going to be turf wars. It's going to be all of us committed to the same outcome, and [being] relentless in our pursuit of it. I think that's what people were looking for is a big vision, a real plan to execute and the tenacity to stay out. And that's what we'll bring.”
