Team, Six days. 1,877 miles. 20+ stops & counties. Thousands of Coloradans. This month, we joined the Colorado Dems on their 2026 Statewide Bus Tour to speak to voters, get out the vote, and help get Democrats elected up and down the ballot this year. Watch our recap video here! Our wonderful chariot. On day one, we...

“My kids will die.” Those are words no parent should ever have to say, especially in the wealthiest country on Earth. But that’s what Jamie, an adoptive mother of five children with disabilities who relies on Medicaid, told us this week when we visited Tepeyac Health Center in Denver. Medicaid stopped paying for...

ICE is completely out of control. Last week, Greenwood Village Pastor Edward Nalwamba was finally released after spending 13 months in ICE detention. He fled persecution in Uganda for his pro-democracy beliefs and has spent decades living and preaching in Colorado. Ahead of his release, our staff visited the...

Diesel prices have DOUBLED in Colorado. Before President Trump’s illegal war in Iran, diesel was at $3.27/gallon. Now, it’s at $6.60/gallon. And get this: our state has seen the biggest jump in diesel costs. In Commerce City this week, we met with truckers, first responders, food bank representatives, agriculture...

Team, Last week, we shared the debate stage with our far-right MAGA opponent, Mark Baisley. Team Hick was there to support us the whole way through! Baisley showed he would be a rubber stamp for President Trump’s cruel agenda. I proposed a future where we end the president’s cost-of-living emergency, lower...

I first ran for Mayor of Denver because I didn’t think the government was working for the people. And that pissed me off. I mean, that’s the whole idea, right? A government of the people, by the people, for the people. Washington’s a dysfunctional place, but that doesn’t mean we’ve let it get in the way of...

Coloradans can’t afford Trump’s economy. We’ve seen higher prices on everything from gas to groceries to health care to housing from the day President Trump took office, despite him saying he would lower costs on “Day One.” In fact, U.S. inflation accelerated in September to a FOUR MONTH high because of Trump’s...

Since President Trump took office, the average Colorado family has spent $310 more on groceries. Just this year, Colorado families have spent nearly $800 more on gas and electricity and $554 more on rent or mortgage payments. Healthcare deductibles are up more than $1,000 on average. Added together, it’s thousands...

Team, Mail-in ballots have started going out. Drop boxes have officially opened. We’ve got just 25 days until Election Day! We have less than a month between now and Election Day to reach voters across Colorado. Our people-powered movement is putting the energy into defending this Senate seat and helping take back...

Alright, real quick: I’m John Hickenlooper. I’m a former geologist and one of the only published scientists in the U.S. Senate. I also helped open Colorado’s first brewpub, The Wynkoop, in 1988 and began the rejuvenation of downtown Denver. At The Wynkoop, there was no problem we couldn’t solve over a fresh,...

Our final end-of-quarter deadline of the election cycle is on Wednesday. It’s critical that we hit our goal, but first, we hope you’ll let us explain why: After midnight on September 30, our finance team will start preparing a public report of every contribution from the past three months for the Federal Election...

Top researchers, conservationists, and nonprofits came together this week in New York City to discuss how we tackle climate change amid the Trump administration’s attacks on climate and science. When Trump returned to office, he set his sights on rolling back the progress we had made to address climate change. We...

There are officially only TWO weeks until ballots start going out here in Colorado. It’s important now more than ever to use your voice and vote this November. President Trump has broken his promises to lower prices. He’s spent billions on his illegal war with Iran that’s driven up gas prices while he’s personally...

Howdy, it’s Senator John Hickenlooper. I know you get a ton of messages like this one, but I promise I wouldn’t ask if I had any other option. With their majority in the House AND Senate, Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies have been following their Project 2025 playbook to a T — and you can bet they’re ready to spend...

Congress is back in session, and we have a lot of work to do. Coloradans are facing a cost-of-living emergency. Gas, groceries, housing. Just about everything costs more. Working families are being left behind while the wealthiest Americans make money hand over fist. Americans are deeply concerned about how we...

Team, We’re less than 2 months away from Election Day. Between now and November 3rd, we’re keeping the energy high and gearing up to take back our democracy, together. Here’s what we’ve been up to this summer on the campaign trail: We celebrated Juneteenth at Denver’s 70th annual Juneteenth parade! We’re happy to...

In the winding marble halls of the U.S. Capitol stands a towering bronze statue of Dr. Florence Sabin. A physician and medical scientist hailing from Central City, Colorado, Sabin was a pioneer. She became the first woman to hold a full professorship at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the first woman...

Last week, we visited the site of the largest gasoline spill in Colorado history. In 2024, a pipeline ruptured just outside of Durango, releasing at least 97,000 gallons of gasoline. That’s 2,300 barrels! The spill seeped into groundwater and wells nearby – posing a serious public health risk to everyone who lives...

Hey, it’s John. You might have already heard that I’m running for re-election this cycle. But if you’re not familiar with who I am, I’d like to reintroduce myself, tell you a little bit about my story, and at the end, I’ll ask you for your support in our race to defend Colorado and flip the Senate. But if you’re...

Government resources belong to YOU – the American people. But President Trump appears to view them as weapons to wield against his perceived enemies. And so far, Colorado has been one of his top targets. Since my first day in office, President Trump’s agenda has been to punish our state. I penned an op-ed for the...
