Last week, I joined former Gov Roy Romer and former Mayor Federico Pena for a fireside chat. They helped turn our home into the great state and city we live in today--and their leadership lessons apply to this moment. Here's my post on the talk--and the video. philforcolorado.com/leadership-t...

Leadership to Meet Our Moment: Lessons from Roy Romer and Federico Pena | Phil Weiser for Colorado

Last week, we launched our Fight for Colorado tour, and released The Colorado Blueprint, our plan for our future. It was developed by listening to ideas from hundreds of Coloradans—and reflects not on...

We are living in a time of rising hate--and that hate must be called out. Thank you, Jefferson County, for treating hate against any of us as hate against all of us.

I am a strong advocate of gun safety laws and am working hard to prevent gun violence deaths for young people. That's why our department is spearheading a training for teachers on how to use our red flag law.

Teachers, Colorado is offering a new training on the state’s ‘red flag’ gun law

Educators were added to the list of people who can request someone’s guns be temporarily confiscated. But very few have so far.

Targeting opponents for prosecution is a threat to the #RuleOfLaw and dangerous. In this case, the resignation of a prosecutor who refused to act against the evidence is a warning sign that this action is untethered from the facts and law. I stand with AG James.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 4d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

To keep our republic, we must defend freedom of speech; the #RuleofLaw; and not allow the military to do domestic law enforcement. I will defend these pillars and stand strong against this bullying, lawless administration, as I explained to @kylec.bsky.social. www.9news.com/video/news/l...

Proud of our team who defended at #SCOTUS Colorado's ban on so-called "conversion therapy," a discredited and harmful practice. Medical professionals should not be given a First Amendment right to harm patients with substandard care. For more details, see here: www.westword.com/news/colorad...

Former Governor Roy Romer and former Mayor Federico Pena are national treasures. I am honored to have both of them on my team, and am inspired by their leadership. This morning's fireside chat with them revealed what made them so special. I will be sharing more about that soon.
