And it's down to 23 candidates. After former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper suspended his presidential campaign Thursday, he said he will take a serious look at running for Senate
Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper suspended his presidential campaign Thursday but said he will take a serious look at running for Senate.
The decision to terminate his campaign also came as Hickenlooper contemplates a Senate run. In his video statement, Hickenlooper said he’s heard from many Coloradans who want him to jump into the race against vulnerable Republican Sen. Cory Gardner. Former state Sen. Mike Johnston, whose Senate campaign outraised Hickenlooper’s presidential bid last quarter, said in a statement that the former governor had a “distinguished career of service” and faced an “enormous choice” in the coming weeks about joining the Senate race but that he is running because he is best positioned to defeat Gardner.
And Angela Williams, a state senator among the Democrats already running for Senate, said of a potential Hickenlooper bid: “This won’t be a coronation.” Almost half of the $3 million he raised in the first four months of his campaign came from Colorado, where Hickenlooper has a strong base of high-dollar donors. But in a presidential primary where small-dollar donations are king, his local fundraising strength exposed his weakness on a national stage with bigger names and higher profiles.
