The May municipal election will be a breeze for four incumbents on the Denver City Council.

No one turned in signatures to challenge Charlie Brown, Jeanne Faatz, Michael Hancock or Jeanne Robb by Wednesday's 5 p.m. deadline.

But eight incumbents seeking re-election, including Mayor John Hickenlooper and Auditor Dennis Gallagher, will have to fend off competition to keep their jobs.

Though the signatures for some candidates still need to be verified, at right is what the May ballot is poised to look like.
