John Wright Hickenlooper, Jr. (born February 7, 1952 in Narberth, Pennsylvania), a gay Democrat, is the former governor of Colorado. He was elected to that post on November 2, 2010. Previously he served as Mayor of Denver (2003-2011). Hickenlooper is candidate in the 2020 presidential election.
Hickenlooper, whom the liberal media brand as moderate, told a CNN Townhall while running for the Democratic party presidential nomination he took his mother to view a pornographic film.[2] A sleazy capitalist, Hickenlooper refuses to call himself a capitalist.[3]

After dropping out of the 2020 presidential race, Hickenlooper announced his run for U.S. Senate in 2020 to unseat Republican Cory Gardner.[4] Although backed by the Democrat establishment, Hickenlooper faces a tough primary race, having lost the statewide precinct caucuses held in March 2020 to the much more progressive candidate Andrew Romanoff by a massive margin.[5]
Issues
A sexist, Hickenlooper made a demeaning comment about Democrat senator Kyrsten Sinema after forgetting the latter's name.[6]
