Hetal Doshi (D), Michael Dougherty (D), Jena Griswold (D), and David Seligman (D) are running in the Democratic primary for Colorado Attorney General on June 30, 2026.

Incumbent Phil Weiser (D) is term-limited and running for governor. Axios' John Frank said the primary has a "packed field of top-tier candidates and ... unusually high stakes of the race as the Trump administration targets Colorado." Colorado Public Radio's Allison Sherry said the race is "a sort of three-on-one battle among the candidates, the underdogs versus Griswold." Frank said, "the winner of the party primary will start as the frontrunner for the November election."

Doshi is a former federal prosecutor who served as the head of the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division under President Joseph Biden (D). Doshi's campaign website says she has "spent her career in law enforcement, not politics. She's made her mark by taking on the toughest fights from tech monopolies to violent criminals. She's run big teams that have taken on the powerful and defended our rights."

Dougherty is the district attorney for Colorado's 20th Judicial District. Dougherty earlier worked as a local prosecutor in Manhattan and a state prosecutor in Colorado. Dougherty's campaign website says, "Colorado needs an Attorney General who can continue fighting on Day One. ... Michael is ready to protect the rights of Coloradans and defend communities from fraud, abuse, and political violence and intimidation."

Griswold was elected Colorado Secretary of State in 2018. She earlier practiced law and was director of the D.C. office of Gov. John Hickenlooper (D). Griswold's campaign website says she has "been standing up to Trump since day one. She held Tina Peters accountable, urged the U.S. Supreme Court to bar Trump from the presidency, and told Trump’s DOJ to take a hike when they requested Coloradans’ sensitive voter information."

Seligman is executive director of Towards Justice, a nonprofit representing workers in litigation. Seligman earlier worked at the National Consumer Law Center. Seligman's campaign website says he will "fearlessly fight for what's possible - not what's simply politically permissible. Coloradans deserve a fearless and creative lawyer who won't just fight for the law as it is - but as it should be."

The most recent Republican to have won election as Colorado Attorney General was Cynthia Coffman in 2014. In 2022, Weiser defeated John Kellner (R) 54.7%–43.0%.
