John Hickenlooper, the former governor of Colorado, launched a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination Monday morning, touting a diverse and winding professional background that he said puts him in a unique position to solve the nation's political divisions.
"I'm running for president because we need dreamers in Washington, but we also need to get things done," Hickenlooper says in the video."I've proven again and again I can bring people together to produce the progressive change Washington has failed to deliver." "I think I'm really the one candidate out there that has a very strong record of bringing people together and getting things done," Hickenlooper said, adding."We got the oil and gas industry to work with the environment community to create methane regulations… we're a purple state that got universal background checks passed."
"Standing tall when it matters is one of the things that really drives me," Hickenlooper said, describing the nation as in a"crisis that threatens everything we stand for" -- a voice-over he delivers on top of images of President Donald Trump. In addition to Hickenlooper's navigating of his career, his campaign video cites the challenges of responding to droughts, wildfires, floods and the 2012 Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting as pivotal moments during his gubernatorial term that prompted concrete action, including emissions standards and gun control laws.
