Kelly Brough has been here before — seeking a high-profile job while fighting perceptions that she’s out of step with the people she wants to lead.In 2009, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce’s board hired her as the organization’s president and CEO, the first woman to take on that role. Some members voiced suspicions that Brough, the top aide to then-Mayor John Hickenlooper, would transform the sometimes-stodgy, often conservative organization into a political mouthpiece for Democratic causes.Now, as Brough, 59, asks voters in liberal Denver to elect her mayor, she faces the opposite suspicion — that back at city hall, she would bring the pro-business bent she honed over a dozen years at the Chamber, often fighting against Democratic initiatives.“I find it hilarious,” Brough muses when asked about that juxtaposition during an interview. She feels like she’s “stuck in the middle” of those competing perceptions, past and present, as she looks to make history as the first...
