Sen. John Hickenlooper, who once said he wasn’t fit for the job, wants one more term in U.S. Senate

Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D) said Wednesday that he will run for reelection just once.

“I’m only gonna do two terms,” Hickenlooper told Punchbowl News’ Andrew Desiderio.

“I’ve said it first here, two-term limit, oath of conscience.”

Hickenlooper, the state’s former governor, gained a seat in the upper chamber by way of winning a key race against former Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) in 2020.

“There should be more people that are involved in local, municipal politics and governing and state politics and governing, who [get] into the Senate so that they bring those experiences with ‘em,” said Hickenlooper, who has also served as mayor of Denver.
