Cyber Monday brings great deals, but it also brings a spike in scams. From phishing links to fake retailer sites, it is important to be careful when shopping online.  As Attorney General, I will work to protect consumers and hold scammers accountable.

For decades, Howard Chou has been a driving force in Democratic organizing in Colorado, helping elect leaders up and down the ballot and building the groundwork for lasting progress. I am honored to have his endorsement as we work to uphold the rule of law.

Colorado is grieving the loss of a mom, friend, colleague, and dedicated leader. Senator Faith Winter spent her career standing up for Colorado families and her legacy will live on.

Another year, another Turkey Trot. A small tradition I always look forward to on Thanksgiving morning. Big thanks to Harvest of Hope Pantry, which runs the food and fundraising drive connected to the race, and to T.E.A.M. Boulder, the organization that puts the event on every year.

Wishing you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my family and friends, for my staff and colleagues who work every day to serve our communities, for the supporters who stand with us in this campaign for Attorney General.

🚨The federal suspension of SNAP payments created a nationwide food security crisis. That’s why I joined an amicus brief urging the courts to restore full benefits communities who rely on this support. When the federal government threatens to harm Coloradans, I will always fight for our state.

Grateful for the support of County Commissioner Rachel Zenzinger. Her dedication to Colorado communities and her commitment to public service are clear in everything she does. I appreciate her confidence in my work and my vision for the Attorney General’s office.

Moms Demand Action, Colorado Ceasefire, and other gun violence prevention advocacy organizations make a real difference in increasing public safety across our state. Their work, dedication and partnership inspires me to work tirelessly to reduce gun violence.

As we begin Thanksgiving week, I’m grateful for many things – including the volunteers and supporters who lift up my campaign for Attorney General. Your dedication, your time, and your commitment strengthen this campaign every single day. With your help, we will build a better future for Colorado.

Food insecurity affects communities in every part of Colorado. Giving what we can, whether it is food, time, or resources, makes a real difference for families across our state. Find your nearest food bank here: feedingcolorado.org/find-food/

This picture is from a special event in support of my campaign for Attorney General. For years, we have worked together to reduce gun violence in our communities. With the help of this amazing group, I am excited for the campaign and to become the next Attorney General.

We cannot let our justice system fall victim to public corruption and cronyism. Tina Peters should serve her sentence and face the consequences for her deliberate actions.

We need to do more to protect kids on social media. Grateful to Attorney General Phil Weiser for joining me for this meaningful town hall on the risks facing kids through social media and AI chatbots.

Throwback Thursday to when I was a student at Cornell University. I did not know it then, but those years would lead me toward a career focused on public safety, fairness, and service to our communities.

Honored to have the support of Council Member Mark Wallach. I’ve valued the work we’ve done together to protect public safety in Boulder, and his endorsement underscores the importance of standing with victims, confronting hate-motivated violence, and following the law wherever it leads.

Thank you to Rabbi Kolby Morris-Dahary and everyone at STAND for hosting this important community convening on rising antisemitism, hate symbols, and their impact. I appreciate being a part of this conversation. Hate crimes harm not only individual victims but their entire community.

In recognition of National Restorative Justice Week, I want Coloradans to know I will continue that work statewide. Restorative justice plays a meaningful role in healing harm, supporting victims, and improving outcomes for our communities.

I am honored to serve as tonight’s keynote speaker at the STAND event, where I will address the rise in antisemitism and other acts of hate. As Colorado’s next Attorney General, I will continue to confront hate in all its forms and make sure every community is protected.

🚨The Trump Administration is trying to move convicted felon Tina Peters from State Prison to a federal facility. Michael breaks down why this matters, and who really prosecuted Tina Peters.

Honored to have the support of Council Member Tara Winer. I’ve appreciated every opportunity to work alongside her and help strengthen our community. Grateful for her endorsement.

Grateful for the chance to sit down together and talk about the stakes in our justice system. ICE now receives more federal funding than any other federal law enforcement agency, and much of it goes to private, for-profit prisons. Private prisons should be outlawed entirely

For nearly three decades, my work has been in the courtroom and in public service, leading reforms, protecting victims, and strengthening the integrity of our justice system. These programs did not come from theory. They came from my experience.

Today, on Veterans Day, we thank and honor all those who have served this great country. My Uncle and Godfather, Vincent J. Dougherty, was an Army veteran who served during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam War era. We lost him last year; may he Rest In Peace.

For Veterans’s Day, I am up in Longmont passing out free gun safes to veterans. Thanking them for their service and helping to reduce the number of stolen guns in our community.

Appreciate KJCT News 8 for highlighting our Know Your Rights event at Colorado Mesa University. Local coverage like this helps keep communities informed and engaged on issues of safety and justice. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make it a success

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Lisa Escarcega, a lifelong educator and advocate for Colorado’s public schools!

It was inspiring to join so many engaged community members at the Rio Grande Democratic Party’s JFK Dinner. Nights like this remind me how much passion and purpose drive our work to create a safer, stronger Colorado.

Still feeling the energy from my Know Your Rights training at Colorado Mesa University. Thank you to everyone who attended, helped plan and organize this event, and for staying engaged in the work of protecting one another’s rights and strengthening our communities.

I wrote about what’s at stake, and how Colorado is charting a better path forward. Read more here: www.gjsentinel.com/opinion/colu...

I’m grateful for the support of Scott Beilfuss, Grand Junction City Council Member and small business owner. His focus on affordable housing and economic growth mirrors my commitment to building a stronger Colorado. Thank you, Scott!

As Election Day comes to a close, remember that every ballot is a step toward the future we want for our communities. Polls close at 7 PM, so make sure your vote is counted.

Today, I had the honor of joining domestic violence advocates and a bipartisan group of state legislators to strengthen Colorado’s response to domestic violence. In Boulder County, we had launched a Domestic Violence Team and Lethality Assessment Protocol that can help victims across the state.

This Halloween, I’m trading in the courtroom for the galaxy. Before I go fight the Empire, I just want to wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween. Be safe, keep an eye on your young Padawans, drive sober, and may the Force be with you.

The federal government is rolling back the protections of our natural resources and seeking to sell off millions of acres of our public lands. Selling off public lands for profit is the fast lane to long-term losses for CO. You can read the whole article here: www.gjsentinel.com/opinion/colu...

Enough is enough. No student should fear for their life at school. Change starts now.

Shout out to my Dad, may he Rest In Peace, who taught me how to work hard. And I almost got the quote right ...

Private prisons should be banned. Private prisons are a failure for communities, detainees, and the justice system. You can read my Guest Opinion here:

It’s been 3 years since Roe was overturned—and the attacks on reproductive rights haven’t stopped. As Colorado’s next AG, I’ll defend the law, protect access to abortion, and ensure that no one’s personal health decisions are up for political debate.

The targeted attacks in Minnesota are devastating, and I'm praying for everyone impacted. We've seen the dangerous rise of political violence all over the country, including here in Colorado. We must come together to reject political violence everywhere—full stop.

Honored to have the endorsement of District Attorney Brian Mason. We’ve worked together to take on gun violence, fentanyl, and human trafficking—and we share a deep commitment to justice and public safety. Grateful to have his support in our campaign for Attorney General.

Humbled to have the support of over 90 leaders from across Colorado — including DAs, sheriffs, mayors, legislators, and community champions. These endorsements reflect our shared belief in justice, safety, and protecting the rights of every Coloradan. Let’s get to work.

THIS WEEK on our Colorado Politics Podcast; the first official candidate for Colorado Attorney General in 2026 @mdoughertyco.bsky.social joins us to talk fighting the Musk/Trump regime, getting in early, healing a community after a tragedy, and so much more. #copolitics #colorado

1/2 The detention of Jeanette Vizguerra not only raises significant due process concerns, it tears communities apart while doing nothing to make Colorado safer. The Trump administration promised to prioritize public safety in immigration enforcement, instead, they’re going after political opponents

Had a great time on the @getmoresmarter.com podcast with Ian Silverii and @jasonbane.bsky.social talking about my campaign for Colorado Attorney General, the importance of protecting our communities, and why experience matters. Give it a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I rallied with veterans at the Colorado State Capitol today. Veterans deserve Leaders who will show up and fight for them. Trump and Musk’s attacks and cuts on services for our Veterans are terrible — I’ll always stand up for those who defended us. We should honor and support their service, always.

Thank you to the over 200 supporters who joined us for our campaign kickoff this weekend! It was an incredible night filled with energy, vision, and community. We’re grateful to have so many leaders standing with us as we build a safer, stronger future for all Coloradans.
