Continued support for John Hickenlooper in June allowed the campaign to
increase its television advertising assets to $1.2 million, the campaign
announced today.

Hickenlooper for Colorado reserved an additional $350,000 in television
advertising, an investment that will effectively grow in value as Election
Day approaches and advertising rates increase. The advertising time
means Hickenlooper can remind voters he is the only candidate for
governor who has run a small business, created jobs and balanced difficult
budgets.

³We came into this race a year and $1 million behind,´ campaign manager
Mike Melanson said, ³but an outpouring of support for John¶s success in
bringing business sense to government allowed us to have a successful
fundraising period. We¶ll need every dollar available in order to run a
positive campaign focused on creating jobs and growing opportunity in
Colorado.´
