DENVER (KDVR) — On Monday, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold launched her campaign for attorney general in 2026. Griswold’s bid comes after current Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced in January that he would be running for governor.

“I am running for Attorney General because Colorado needs a strong, proven leader in this critical moment,” said Griswold in a press release. “I’ll stand up to Donald Trump to protect our rights and freedoms. I’ll fight for working- and middle-class Coloradans, hold big corporations accountable, and safeguard our land, air, and water.”

Per the AG’s Office, an attorney general has the primary authority for “enforcement of consumer protection and antitrust laws, prosecution of criminal appeals and some complex white-collar crimes, the Statewide Grand Jury, training and certification of peace officers, and most natural resource and environmental matters.” According to her press release, Griswold said she has the support of over 100 endorsers that include labor unions, current and former elected officials and community leaders. Her campaign chair will be former Lt. Gov. Gail Schoettler. Griswold, a Democrat, was the youngest elected Secretary of State in 2018, and she was reelected in 2022, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Griswold holds a B.A. in Politics and Spanish Literature from Whitman College and a J.D from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She is fluent in Spanish and a graduate of Estes Park High School.

Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty has also announced his campaign for the top prosecutor in the state.
