About Phil Weiser
Phil Weiser is dedicated to serving others. He believes our government should work for the people, not corporations or special interests. As Attorney General, Phil has stood up to protect the rule of law and our democracy, and he led the charge against irresponsible companies that ripped off Coloradans. He works every day to make our state safer and more affordable. And as our next governor, he’ll continue to build on the progress that makes Colorado such a great place to live.
Phil learned firsthand the importance of advocating for others while working in the U.S. Supreme Court as a clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Justice Ginsburg helped inspire Phil to always fight injustice and stand up for our freedoms and equality justice for all.
