Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has officially launched her campaign for state attorney general in the 2026 election.

Griswold, a Democrat, emphasized her commitment to fighting Donald Trump’s influence, protecting abortion rights, and reducing gun violence. She joins a growing Democratic primary field that includes former state House Speaker Crisanta Duran and Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty.

Love to see Jena Griswold stepping up—she’s been a solid defender of democracy and isn’t afraid to take on Trumpism head-on. We need more leaders who are unapologetically pro-choice and ready to tackle gun reform.

Great, another politician running on an anti-Trump platform instead of focusing on actually limiting government overreach. Maybe try protecting individual liberties for once instead of just playing partisan games.
