Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper brushed aside concerns that his “face blindness” will hinder his presidential prospects.

Hickenlooper, 67, who is known for his folksy and next-door-neighbor personality, has openly talked about his disease. The former Colorado governor suffers from a condition medically known as prosopagnosia, which makes it increasingly difficult for him to remember people’s faces. It can take Hickenlooper multiple meetings before someone’s face registers in his memory. He was diagnosed with the condition six years ago after he was elected governor.
