"John Hickenlooper is a great mayor and he's going to be a great governor. His strong leadership skills, collaborative problem-solving approach, and his innovative ideas will set him apart. As someone who comes out of the private sector, Mayor Hickenlooper's commitment to fiscal responsibility and job creation will keep moving Colorado toward a strong, stable and sustainable recovery. His dedication to Colorado's New Energy Economy, education reform and economic development are rallying cries that every Coloradan can answer. I'm proud to support John Hickenlooper for governor."
