Jena Griswold has been standing up to Trump since day one. She held Tina Peters accountable, urged the U.S. Supreme Court to bar Trump from the presidency, and told Trump’s DOJ to take a hike when they requested Coloradans’ sensitive voter information. The next AG will have to safeguard Colorado from unprecedented federal threats, and be strong enough to stand up to Trump. Jena Griswold has dealt with the death threats and trolls head-on, and is the fearless fighter we need as Attorney General.
