Former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper joins Democrats’ 2020 slate
By David Weigel David Weigel National reporter covering politics Email Bio Follow March 4 at 7:24 AM John Hickenlooper, who served two terms as governor of Colorado, announced Monday that he is running for president, touting his accomplishments in a state that moved to the left during his time in office.
Aides said Hickenlooper plans a kickoff rally in Denver on Thursday before heading to Iowa, the first presidential nominating state, this weekend. “We learned the hard way how critical it is to have the right team and a strong structure,” Hickenlooper wrote in a 2016 memoir. “We learned that when you make a mistake, you admit it.”
Two years later, Democrats persuaded Hickenlooper to run for governor, hoping his popularity and discursive, anti-politician style could get them past a national backlash to the party. Hickenlooper won, helped by a memorable ad in which he entered a shower, fully clothed, to dramatize how much he hated negative campaigning.
“We’re terrorizing ourselves,” Hickenlooper told NPR in 2018. “If you were trying to harm this country, what better thing could you do than to create a context where kids were too scared to go to school, or, when they got to school, they were too scared to learn?”
