Phil Weiser is running for Governor to fight for Colorado.

As Secretary of State, Griswold increased drop boxes and in-person voting, implemented automatic voter registration and legislation to criminalize threats to election workers, and banned guns near voting.

Jena will fight for working- and middle-class Coloradans, hold big corporations accountable, and safeguard our land, air, and water.

Secretary of State
Jessie Danielson
I’m running for Secretary of State to defend a democracy under threat and stand up for the patriotic election workers who make sure voting remains free and fair.

Secretary of State
Amanda Gonzalez

Amanda Gonzalez is Colorado’s democracy expert. When it comes to our elections, experience matters—and she's already run the elections, written the laws, and defended our rights.
She wrote Colorado's Automatic Voter Registration bill. She expanded access to voting in jails. She created multilingual language supports for voters statewide. And she's run some of the state's largest, most secure elections.
Now she's running for Secretary of State, because when our democracy is on the line, we need someone who knows how to protect and strengthen it from the inside out.

Treasurer
Jeff Bridges
I’m running for Treasurer because Colorado should invest in Colorado.
During my decade in the Legislature, I passed full-day kindergarten, the nation’s strongest paid sick leave bill, and created the Middle Income Housing Authority. Now I chair Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee, overseeing our $16.5 billion general fund to ensure your tax dollars get the best possible return.
As Treasurer, I’ll invest your dollars back into Colorado to build affordable housing, job-creating infrastructure, and clean energy that lowers bills. We’ll protect PERA, fix TABOR, and support small businesses—together. Questions? Ideas? Need a Thai recommendation? Text my personal cell:
