John Hickenlooper took an unconventional path to public office. After starting out as a geologist, Hickenlooper took a chance by opening the first brewpub in Colorado. As a small business owner, he gained a deep understanding of the local community and the value of collaboration. Hickenlooper entered public service because he knew he could listen to the diverse array of Colorado voices and get things done. As Colorado’s U.S. Senator, Hickenlooper is committed to bringing people together to solve our country’s toughest problems.
