Hickenlooper Dropped Presidential Bid On Personal Disclosure Due DateWashington Free Beacon, Sep 8, 2019
John Hickenlooper's exit from the presidential race came on the same day he would have had to file his financial disclosure forms with the Office of Government Ethics.
By entering the Colorado U.S. Senate race instead—a job he repeatedly said he did not want and would not be well suited for—the former governor will not have to provide a financial disclosure with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics until May 15, 2020.
After formally becoming a presidential candidate on March 4, 2019, Hickenlooper requested two extensions that were granted by the Federal Election Commission.

Some conservative groups in the state would like to see more transparency from Hickenlooper.
"Hickenlooper's timing is almost too perfect—this way he gets through most of the primary without having to disclose any personal financial information to the public," said Lindsey Singer, communications director for the Republican-oriented Colorado Rising PAC.
"With a couple ethics complaints about his travel hanging over his head, the question that I'm sure will come up in the primary is, what is Hickenlooper trying to hide?"
Singer was referring to a formal ethics complaint filed against Hickenlooper in 2018 alleging that while governor, he violated state rules by improperly accepting free jet rides. In February, the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission chose not to dismiss the case so an investigation is still ongoing.
