Colorado Democrats compete to be the state's chief legal check on the Trump administration

Hetal Doshi (D), Michael Dougherty (D), Jena Griswold (D), and David Seligman (D) are running in the Democratic primary for Colorado Attorney General on June 30, 2026.

Incumbent Phil Weiser (D) is term-limited and running for governor. Axios' John Frank said the primary has a "packed field of top-tier candidates and ... unusually high stakes of the race as the Trump administration targets Colorado." Colorado Public Radio's Allison Sherry said the race is "a sort of three-on-one battle among the candidates, the underdogs versus Griswold." Frank said, "the winner of the party primary will start as the frontrunner for the November election."

Doshi is a former federal prosecutor who served as the head of the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division under President Joseph Biden (D). Doshi's campaign website says she has "spent her career in law enforcement, not politics. She's made her mark by taking on the toughest fights from tech monopolies to violent criminals. She's run big teams that have taken on the powerful and defended our rights."
