John Hickenlooper, a two-term Democratic governor of Colorado, officially announced his presidential campaign. A quirky centrist, he will run as an electable progressive with experience as a chief executive.
. In the video, he emphasizes his ability to lead in a crisis by pointing to his performance as governor following fires, floods and shootings.
The main complaint from the left over his eight years in office was a perceived closeness with the state’s oil and gas industry — Hickenlooper once drank fracking fluid in a congressional hearing to demonstrate that it’s safe, an element of his biography that might not play well with progressive primary voters.
An out-of-nowhere mayoral campaign caught fire and led him to a landslide win in 2003. He won reelection four years later, then decided to run for governor in 2010 after the incumbent, Democrat Bill Ritter, opted not to seek a second term. He coasted to victory after the Republican ticket collapsed amid scandal and was reelected in 2014, a tough year for his party.
