John Hickenlooper Biography

John Hickenlooper is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 7, 1952 in Narberth, United Kingdom. Born in Narberth, Pennsylvania, Hickenlooper is a graduate of Wesleyan University. After his career as a geologist, he began a career in business in 1988, co-founding the Wynkoop Brewing Company in Denver. Hickenlooper was elected the 43rd mayor of Denver in 2003, serving two terms, until 2011.

Since 2003, Hickenlooper has campaigned for increasing services to the homeless. As Denver Mayor, he announced a “10 Year Plan to End Homelessness” at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C. Cities across the country including Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and Atlanta made similar plans. Hickenlooper’s Denver Commission on Homelessness included members from public agencies, non-profits, businesses, and the faith community.

Hickenlooper was elected the 43rd mayor of Denver in 2003. TIME Magazine named him one of America’s five best big-city mayors in 2005, noting, “he dispensed with the partisan and sometimes imperious manner of past Denver mayors to accomplish quite a bit during his brief tenure. When Hickenlooper, who is called Mayor Hick, took office in July 2003, he inherited a $70 million budget deficit, the worst in city history.”

Hickenlooper worked as a geologist in Colorado for Buckhorn Petroleum in the early 1980s. When Buckhorn was sold, Hickenlooper was laid off in 1986. He and five business partners opened the Wynkoop Brewing Company brewpub in October 1988 after raising startup funds from dozens of friends and family along with a Denver economic development office loan. The Wynkoop was one of the first brewpubs in the United States. By 1996, Westword reported that Denver had more brewpubs per capita than any other city.

Hickenlooper was born in Narberth, Pennsylvania, a middle-class area of the suburban Main Line of Philadelphia. He is the son of Anne Doughten (née Morris) Kennedy and John Wright Hickenlooper. His great-grandfather Andrew Hickenlooper was a Union general, and his grandfather, Smith Hickenlooper, was a United States federal judge. Hickenlooper was raised by his mother from a young age after his father’s death. A 1970 graduate of The Haverford School, an independent boys school in Haverford, Pennsylvania, he went on to attend Wesleyan University, where he received a B.A. in English in 1974 and a master’s degree in geology in 1980.

In 2000, Colorado voters passed Initiative 20, which legalized marijuana for medical use. In 2006, Denver became one of the first major U.S. cities to legalize the medical use of and decriminalize possession (of less than one ounce [28 g]) of cannabis by those over age 18. Hickenlooper, then a co-owner of the Wynkoop Brewing Company, opposed the cannabis rescheduling initiative, which voters approved 53.49%–46.51%, but did say that the vote “reflect[s] a genuine shift in people’s attitudes”. The Denver Police interpretation of the law, supported by Hickenlooper, was that it did not usurp Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS). In 2012, Amendment 64 was added to the Colorado constitution allowing possession of up to one ounce (28 g) of cannabis for those over 21 for recreational use. Though Hickenlooper had been publicly against this policy as well, he said he would enforce the will of the people.

In May 2007, Hickenlooper won re-election as mayor with 88% of the vote. Considered a “purple” democrat, Hickenlooper was supported by many of Denver’s top Republican business leaders. Denver’s 5280 magazine said: “As far as real-life political fairy tales go, it was just about impossible to trump Mayor Hickenlooper. He was a new kind of natural, one of those unicorn-rare, truly apolitical politicians that career politicos so often and so fraudulently claim to be.”

The Wynkoop was opened in Denver’s then-derelict LoDo neighborhood. After struggling the first year, Hickenlooper brokered a cooperative arrangement with nearby restaurants and businesses, working together to draw customers and negotiate better pricing with vendors. Their efforts contributed to the redevelopment of the area as a thriving entertainment district. Hickenlooper sold his stake in the Wynkoop in 2007 to a group of managers and employees for a reported $7 million. He said, “Every good entrepreneur’s dream is to build an enterprise that is successful enough that someday it will be an enterprise the employees can take over. We are turning it over to the people who helped create the enterprise.”

Later, he threw his support behind Democratic candidate Bill Ritter, Denver’s former district attorney, who was subsequently elected.
