Colorado Secretary of State Primary Race | Denver News

Voters in Jefferson County headed to the polls Tuesday for a high-stakes Democratic primary to choose Colorado’s next secretary of state, with state Sen. Jessie Danielson and Jefferson County Clerk Amanda Gonzalez battling it out as the top contenders—both fiercely defending mail-in voting and voter rights. Danielson, a longtime advocate for automatic voter registration, faces off against Gonzalez, who’s managed elections for a county of over 430,000 residents since 2022. The winner will succeed outgoing Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a role critical to election integrity. Meanwhile, Libertarians saw a spirited matchup between engineer Alex Astley and DJ Sean Vadney, while Republicans had no opposition—James Wiley, known as the “Red Flame of Liberty,” cruised to victory unopposed. All eyes are now on the results to see who’ll lead Colorado’s elections in November.
