HICKENLOOPER FOR COLORADO

ad creative

Ad copy

I started my career as a geologist before I got laid off. Then, we opened the Wynkoop, the first brewpub in Colorado. I’ve been fighting for Colorado ever since—as Mayor of Denver, Governor of Colorado, and now Senator. We’ve expanded health care, fought climate change, and prevented Trump from selling our public lands. But the stakes are too high to slow down. Let’s keep fighting, Colorado.
