CO-AG: Colorado AG primary (D) remains tight after party assembly

The Democratic primary for attorney general remains a four-way, competitive contest after two high-profile candidates qualified at Saturday's party assembly in Pueblo.

Why it matters: Democrats hold the advantage in Colorado entering the 2026 election, and the winner of the party primary will start as the frontrunner for the November election.

State of play: Jena Griswold, current secretary of state, earned the most support at the assembly, taking 41.8% of the delegate vote.

Rival David Seligman, a progressive attorney, finished a close second at 40.6%.

Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty received 18% support. He can still qualify via petitions with voter signatures.
Hetal Doshi, a former federal prosecutor, did not participate in the assembly and will seek to qualify with petitions.

getting more support? I remember him and how the King Sooper's prosecution was handled; that was a pretty slow process.
