CO-AG: Three Democratic Colorado attorney general candidates contrast themselves with Jena Griswold
Three Democrats running to be Colorado’s next attorney general are united in saying Secretary of State Jena Griswold has lacked engagement with voters and other candidates throughout the primary campaign.
The Colorado Sun hosted a forum Wednesday featuring David Seligman, executive director of nonprofit legal advocacy group Towards Justice; Michael Dougherty, the Boulder County district attorney; and Hetal Doshi, a former assistant U.S. attorney for Colorado. Griswold, a Democrat who is also running for attorney general, was absent.
An internal poll from Griswold’s campaign pegged her as the frontrunner with a strong lead over the other three candidates, but the Democrats running against her don’t buy it and said polls don’t win elections.
Dougherty said he, Seligman and Doshi have shown up to participate in more than a dozen candidate forums or debates, none of which Griswold attended. If Griswold can’t face other candidates and debate moderators, then she cannot face the Trump administration in court as Colorado’s attorney general, Dougherty said.
