Democrat Scott Martinez, the lawyer who played an enormous role in his party's recent victories on new political boundaries, is leaving private practice to work for Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.
Martinez begins Jan. 9 as deputy city attorney.
"I'm no stranger to the high stakes at the intersection of law and politics, and I'm excited to bring that experience to achieve the mayor's vision for the city," Martinez said. "He's going to do big things, and I'm excited to play a role in his administration."
