Bill Denver

William "Bill" Denver (born April 15, 1950) is an American Politician and Entertainer who currently serves as the 52nd Governor of Colorado. A prominent member of the Progressive Party, Denver was the Party's nominee for Vice President in the 2016 Presidential Election, alongside Seattle Mayor Ellen Walton. 
Born in Jackson, Wyoming, Denver spent much of his childhood in Denver, Colorado before attending The University of California at San Diego and earning a degree in Communications. He became well known for his nationally syndicated radio talk program "Bill's Ballsy Broadcast" and his influence in local Democratic politics.
Denver made his first venture into elected politics during the 2010 race for Governor of Colorado, which he won, defeating scandal-ridden former Republican Lieutenant Governor Dick Carter, earning 67% of the vote. Denver was re-elected in 2014 with 53% of the vote.
Denver is the 1st and only U.S. Governor to practice Unitarian Universalism.
