I have not made my Governor decision yet, leaning Weiser, but why has Jena Griswald been skipping the forums? likesmountains 52 1 hr ago #2

adamant and he has gone after Trump on several occasions. I notice he has Jason Crowe and many other CO Reps and officials doing ads for him (Bennett). I suspect he'd make a good Governor and would name a good Democratic replacement for his own Senate seat.

That said, I think Phil Weiser has been a good AG. I think there is less a clear understanding of all of his positions outside legal ones.

One thing I do intend to do is vote for Jena Griswold (our current SOS who went after all the Trump-led election interference and aided in the prosecution of Tina Peters, as well as fought hard to prevent Polis from commuting her sentence).

My wife and I just filled in our Democratic primary ballots for Weiser, but I was pessimistic because of the name recognition factor. This is very encouraging.
