As the state’s top law enforcement officer, the Colorado Attorney General is sworn to uphold the United States and Colorado Constitutions. As your next Attorney General, it will be my job to advance the principles of justice, freedom, equality, and fairness for all. I take this commitment very seriously.
Our nation’s vision of equal opportunities for all is a core part of my life’s work. To translate that vision into reality, our country needs dedicated leaders committed to equality for all Americans. Across the nation, State Attorneys General have stood up for equal rights when our freedoms are under assault. When one of us is subject to illegal discrimination or the possibility of targeted hate crimes1, we are all at risk. We must call out hate and injustice when it emerges2.
