By: Colette Bordelon | Denver7

DENVER — The race to become Colorado’s next Attorney General is filled with six candidates who all want to become the “people’s lawyer.” Denver7 sat down with each of them to hear their final pitches to voters, with the primary election in Colorado on June 30.

The current AG, Phil Weiser, is running in the gubernatorial Democratic primary.

Four Democrats hope they will take his spot, and two Republicans believe it is time for the state to change the direction of that office.

Unaffiliated voters can choose what primary they vote in, but cannot cast ballots in both.

The primary election in Colorado is June 30. Ballots must be received by 7 p.m. that day.

JENA GRISWOLD

The first name listed in the race for AG on the Democratic primary ballot is Jena Griswold, who is currently the Colorado Secretary of State.

Griswold moved to Colorado when she was in elementary school and went on to attend law school in Philadelphia. She practiced law for a few years before working for U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper in Washington, D.C.
