Attorney General of Colorado

EMILYs List recruits, trains and supports Democratic pro-choice women candidates at every level of the ballot. By helping to elect these women to office in 2025 and 2026, we’re not only building a foundation for the future, but we’re also putting strong women in charge of decisions that affect women and families every day — from the legislators who write laws to the attorneys general who defend and enforce them to the secretaries of state who ensure access to the ballot.

We trust that Secretary Jena Griswold will fight tooth and nail for a stronger assault weapons ban in Colorado, because she knows our kids’ lives matter more than the gun lobby’s profits.

Colorado’s Republicans have an excellent choice for attorney general on the primary ballot this June...

Michael Allen knows what it takes to tackle crime in Colorado. With his more than 20-year career in prosecution, he has the experience to fight for you and your family.

• Leads the only District Attorney’s office in the state with an election integrity unit.

• Created an Organized Crime Unit to prosecute fentanyl traffickers, cartels, and violent robbery rings. This unit has prosecuted more fentanyl-death cases than any other office in Colorado, and secured the longest prison sentences statewide.

• Launched Colorado’s first motor vehicle theft team, resulting in motor vehicle theft cases dropping by 50% in 2025.

• Prosecuted the Club Q mass shooting case as a hate crime and secured the second-longest prison sentence in Colorado history.

• Focused resources on prosecuting repeat domestic violence abusers.

• Increased transparency through community outreach and creation of data dashboards.

“Evil never rests. The best defense against those who choose to do evil is committed, professional prosecution.”
