Get to Know Potential First Lady Robin Pringle

From Town & Country

Former Governor John Hickenlooper is one of the many politicians vying for a nomination from the Democratic Party to face off against President Trump in 2020. And while the caucasus are still months away, there are a ton of candidates with their hats in the race-and with that comes spouses.

But who are our potential first ladies and first husbands? Today we take a look at the very impressive, Robin Pringle, who has been married to Hickenlooper since 2016.

Pringle was born in California and educated at Duke University and Northwestern University

She holds a Bachelors Degree in public policy and received her MBA from the Kellogg School of Management.

She is the Vice President at Liberty Media

In her role overseeing corporate development at Liberty Media, which owns QVC, Charter Communications, SiriusXM, the Atlanta Braves, Provide Commerce, and Barnes and Noble, Pringle maintains the company's investment portfolio and looks for new investments in media, tech and e-commerce. She is also on the Board of Directors at SiriusXM.

Robin is more than 20 years younger than her husband

John Hickenlooper and Robin Pringle were 63 and 37 years old respectively when they married, but to them, the age difference is of no issue. Pringle, who is a self-described old soul, explained to the Denver Post, "I think anybody who actually knows me thinks I'm older than he is, so it doesn't actually phase most people once they spend an hour with us..."

Hickenlooper and Pringle's relationship makes even more sense given his experience of having an incredibly strong female role model in his mother. In 2016 he told Town and Country that his mother's creativity was a defining factor of his childhood. "She was always resourceful," he explained while telling of how she helped him overcome bullying by making him stay accountable for his own behavior.

Pringle was briefly the first lady of Colorado.

She and Hickenlooper married during his term as Governor of Colorado in 2016 and she was first lady of the state until he was succeeded by Jared Polis in January 2019.

She's not a Democrat.

Despite growing up in the outskirts of San Francisco, a hotbed for liberals, Pringle was at one point a registered Republican. She has reportedly made contributions to the campaigns of Republicans and Democrats, including republican state treasurer Walker Stapleton, as well as democratic senator Michael Bennet-and Hillary Clinton. She is now a registered Independent.
