Guillermo "Bill" Vidal (born July 19, 1951)[citation needed] is a Cuban American author and career civil servant[2] who served as the 44th mayor of Denver, Colorado.
Vidal served as deputy mayor under John Hickenlooper until Hickenlooper resigned his position as mayor in order to serve as the governor of Colorado. Vidal was then sworn in as mayor on January 12, 2011 and served until July 18, 2011 when his successor Michael Hancock was sworn in.
After he moved from deputy to mayor, Vidal did not run for the office, choosing instead to serve only until a new mayor could be elected.[3][4]
Following his service as Mayor of Denver, he became president and CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Denver.[5]
