Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper joins US presidential race
Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper says he’s running for president of the United States, casting himself as a can-do uniter who’s used to overcoming adversity and accomplishing liberal goals in a politically divided state.
“I’m running for president because we need dreamers in Washington, but we also need to get things done,” Hickenlooper, 66, a Democrat, says in a video announcing his campaign. “I’ve proven again and again I can bring people together to produce the progressive change Washington has failed to deliver.”
He becomes the second governor to enter the sprawling field, after Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced his bid last week, and is trying to cast himself as a pragmatist who can also take on President Donald Trump.
Though as governor Hickenlooper prided himself for staying above partisan fights, he has argued his record as a former governor and big-city mayor distinguishes him from a broad field of Democratic presidential aspirants who are backing ambitious liberal plans on health care, taxes and the climate.
