Brewer running for mayor
John Hickenlooper Jr, well known among American craft brewers for having been one of the first and most successful brewpub operators in the country, has decided it was time for a change. At the age of 50, he determined to run for mayor of Denver, a city of 630 000 inhabitants and 12 000 municipal employees, when the law prevented the present mayor Wellington Webb from a fourth term. Incidentally, Hickenlooper had made sure in time that he fulfilled all the "technical requirements" to stand for office. In conservative America, if you are not married and without a family, you stand almost no of getting elected. A confirmed bachelor for years, Hickenlooper got married two years ago and now has a small child. Conducting a campaign is a costly affair.5 million to win the race in Denver.".
