Who really supports Kelly Brough (D) and Mike Johnston (D) in race for Denver mayor?

In roughly a month and a half since the April 4 general election, Kelly Brough marginally outraised Mike Johnston, raking in $225,586 in direct contributions compared to the former legislator's $222,225.

The devil, of course, is in the details.

A closer inspection reveals Johnston has far more support from an unlikely source — those who identified themselves as "unemployed" or some variation of the category.

Of the roughly $222,000 Johnston collected between April 5 and May 17, close to a quarter came from people who said they are unemployed, including 50 who forked out $500, the maximum amount one can donate to a candidate participating in Denver's matching funds program.
