Back when he was running for Attorney General.

Get to know Phil Weiser, the Democratic candidate for Colorado attorney general

Democrat Phil Weiser won a hard-fought primary against state Rep. Joe Salazar to secure his party’s nomination for Colorado attorney general, spending roughly $1 million to secure the chance to be on the Nov. 6 ballot.

snip****

Weiser shocked a lot of people in Colorado’s political circles by coming out of the gate so strong on fundraising. He raked in about $1 million heading into the June 28 primary contest, far outpacing Joe Salazar’s campaign.

Still, Weiser — lacking in name recognition — only eked out a victory over the state lawmaker. The margin was about 5,000 votes.

That race centered on the two factions of the Democratic party: Weiser represents the more moderate approach to policy, while Salazar aligned himself with the U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders wing. For example, Weiser and Salazar both oppose the death penalty, but Weiser vowed to defend the state’s capital-punishment law, and Salazar said he might not.

I hope Phil Weiser wins the Dem Primary
