John Hickenlooper To Speak At Democratic National Convention Thursday

DENVER (AP) — Gov. John Hickenlooper is scheduled to speak during prime time on the closing day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Hickenlooper tells The Denver Post he will address convention-goers Thursday evening, not long before Hillary Clinton is expected to deliver her acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination for president. The governor did not say what he would talk about.

Hickenlooper was considered a potential running mate for Clinton, who ultimately chose U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, of Virginia. Hickenlooper is still seen as a contender for a spot in Clinton's cabinet if she wins the presidency.
