Hickenlooper Will Run for Senate

Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) announced that he will run for Senate, the Denver Post reports.

Said Hickenlooper: “I’ve always said Washington was a lousy place for a guy like me who wants to get things done — but this is no time to walk away from the table. I’m not done fighting for the people of Colorado.

A new Emerson poll shows Hickenlooper beating Sen. Cory Garner (R), 53% to 40%.
