  • Bill was born in Denver, from teacher Brian Aatos Stanmourne (1933-) and Samantha Edwards (1934-), who would later serve as Mayor of Denver from 1995 to 2000. He entered politics in 1981 by joining the Progressive Party, being promoted to Superintendent of the Denverite branch after completing university in 1988. Within the party, he joined the Johnsonite faction and was one of the main architects of the Memorable Coalition. In 2002, he was elected Governor of the DCD, succeeding term-limited Greg Wilson. He mainly focused on infrastructure, employment and the creation of a statewide health care program, which would later be implemented nationally. From 2008 to 2012, he was elected Mayor and Representative from the Neighborhood of Denver. While there, Bill announced that he would run for President for the oncoming elections, becoming one of the few Denverites to run for the highest office. He defeated Conservative candidate George DiLeo; his party also formed a coalition with the Greens and the newborn RB 2.0. During the Progressive primaries of the 2016 election, the organizers of the presidential campaign of Jeffrey DuChay, which was by then defunct, attacked Stanmourne, believing that he had rigged the votes to explain the unusually high percentage of preferences against Sheila Rodd (78 to 22). The President and Tom Bigg, the Chairman of the DuChay campaign, went to court and documents belonging to the Stanmourne campaign were examined; the incumbent President would be later acquitted, on the grounds that not enough proofs were found. After being reelected to the post, Bigg congratulated him, but raised some doubt over the result (54 to 40, against Zheng); the Conservatives agreed with Bigg and went so far as to ask that the election be redone. The same year, Stanmourne founded the Committee for Denverite Statehood, which seeks to promote the DCD to a state, abolish the need to use the term FOAD (first-order administrative division) in favor of the term state and grant Denver four more seats in the Senate. Some leaks stated that Stanmourne would be preparing to launch a bill that would effectively grant statehood to Denver, but the individual concerned did not confirm the news.
