How many successful gubernatorial candidates run on a strictly positive campaign? John Hickenlooper is one who did and won. In this talk, he shares a refreshing look at this approach to politics. And as one powerful way to impact a community, he encourages us to teach a child to read.

In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxMileHigh, where x = independently organized TED event. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
