In the second half of a mayoral forum, state Rep. Leslie Herod and businessman Tom Wolf disagreed on the best solutions to end Denver’s homelessness crisis.

Wolf wants to house people in disused city buildings. Herod wants to utilize land owned by the city. Both agreed that housing people must be the priority, however, and agreed it’s inhumane to walk over people camped out on Denver’s sidewalks.

Wolf works as an investment banker at CREWE. He received his master’s from the University of Denver. His family formerly lived in London but chose to move to Denver for “quality of life, cost of living, geography and its people,” according to his campaign website.

Wolf qualified for Denver Fair Elections Fund, according to city data. At the start of February, he received $107,694.70 in campaign funding. Nearly $88,000 of those contributions are from the Fair Elections Fund.

Investment banker Thomas Wolf is running for mayor of Denver in 2023.

Wolf lost a bid for mayor in 2011, finishing seventh with 2,150 votes in the first round of voting. Wolf’s run was a “free” campaign, meaning he wouldn’t accept campaign contributions. It was his first political race.

“I just never really got it out of my system,” said Wolf in an interview. “And paid attention to what’s happened in the last three terms. And I just really think there’s some straightforward things that need to change, and need to happen, and it’s gonna require tough, dedicated leadership to do it.”
