2020 Colorado Senate Race


John Hickenlooper & Cory Gardner Debate

Incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper participated in their third and final debate before one of the candidates would be elected to represent Colorado in the U.S. Senate next month, Oct. 13, 2020. 

The debate was held in the Lory Student Center Theatre with no live audience to adhere to social distancing standards. 

Since both candidates had devoted much of their adult lives to public service, this election would signify the first electoral defeat for one of the two candidates.


Hickenlooper Campaign Rally

Former Colorado Governor turned U.S. Senate candidate John Hickenlooper and his campaign hosted a socially distanced rally at Nick’s Italian restaurant on College Avenue Oct. 13, 2020. 

The rally was scheduled during the afternoon leading up to the third and final debate between Hickenlooper and incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner. The roughly 30-person crowd was primarily made up of local supporters with multiple local government officials and candidates in attendance as well.
