Why we checked itA specific allegation about Hickenlooper's voting record on three named legislative measures — verifiable against congressional voting records and could materially mislead voters if inaccurate.
What we foundHickenlooper voted against the 2025 tax and spending law, which created new deductions for tips, overtime and people 65 and older. He has said he supports the tax break on tips, and the standalone No Tax on Tips Act passed the Senate without objection. The law did not stop taxing Social Security; it added a temporary deduction for seniors.
