John Hickenlooper
Governor of Colorado
John Hickenlooper calls himself a recovering geologist who once owned a brewpub and was goaded into running for mayor of Denver in 2003. He spent nearly eight years at City Hall before he became governor of Colorado in 2011. Hickenlooper and his team at the state Capitol are working hard to promote an all-the-above energy policy that balances pursuit of Colorado’s abundance of natural resources with preserving the natural beauty that attracts so many people to the state.
