Weiser created an extensive resume working in the DOJ, Supreme Court, and White House even before he became Colorado's Attorney General. He is the most qualified and competent candidate for the Governor's office.

Why not Phil Weiser for CO Governor? Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is the Democratic nominee for Governor, having won the primary election. Critics and primary opponents raised concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest over campaign contributions tied to corporate legal settlements, caution from business sectors regarding regulations, and a decision to skip a final primary debate.Criticisms and Campaign Controversies
Campaign Contributions: Opponents scrutinized campaign donations linked to law firms representing corporate entities that settled cases with the Attorney General's office.
Debate Absence: Critics from primary rival campaigns pointed to Weiser's choice to pull out of a final scheduled primary debate as a concern regarding accountability to voters.
Business and Economic Balance: Some moderate business groups expressed caution that his regulatory approach—such as blocking major corporate mergers—could affect Colorado's economic competitiveness, while some progressive critics argued he has not gone far enough on labor or fiscal reform measures like modifying TABOR.
Supporting Arguments!?!?
Legal Record: Supporters and progressive organizations backed Weiser for his active tenure as Attorney General, citing his defense of election integrity, consumer protection, and legal challenges against federal overreach. (Is this really a plus for Phil??? If progressive are backing him...we don't need him! Did he protect elections or assist in furthering an already flawed.and corrupt mail in voting system?
Electoral Success: Having won statewide office twice as Attorney General before securing the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, he ran on a platform centered on protecting fundamental freedoms and experienced governance. (As Colorado progressive further chips away at the first and second amendments Phil stood by and supported soon to be found unconstitutional legislation!
