Colorado AG Race Heats Up

Colorado’s Attorney General race is heating up as three Democratic contenders—Hetal Doshi, Michael Dougherty, and David Seligman—vie to replace term-limited Phil Weiser, each with distinct priorities: Doshi on white-collar crime, Dougherty on environmental protection, and Seligman on low-wage workers and immigrants. While all criticize Trump-era policies, they’re skeptical of Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s frontrunner status, demanding she commit to debates and transparency. They also sharply disagree with Gov. Polis’s decision to commute Tina Peters’ sentence, with Dougherty calling it a miscarriage of justice and Doshi pushing for limits on clemency power. On the Republican side, El Paso County DA Michael Allen faces lawyer David Wilson, who previously represented Peters. The winner of the Democratic primary will face the GOP victor in a high-stakes battle for Colorado’s top legal office, managing over 650 employees and overseeing everything from criminal prosecutions to consumer and environmental protection.
