WASHINGTON - Former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper will try to secure the state’s Democratic U.S. Senate nomination on Tuesday after a series of stumbles in a race vital to the party’s hopes of recapturing Senate control in November.
The winner will face conservative Republican U.S. Senator Cory Gardner, one of the country’s most vulnerable incumbents in a state that has drifted left in recent years, in the Nov. 3 election. Hickenlooper defied a subpoena from Colorado’s Independent Ethics Commission, eventually testifying only after he was found in contempt. The panel fined him $2,750 on June 12 for violating state ethics laws when he was governor by taking free travel.
“Hickenlooper was sleepwalking through this campaign so maybe this woke him up,” said Floyd Ciruli, a veteran independent pollster in Colorado.
