Dear Friend,  After hosting 19 town halls, showing up and listening to the people of Colorado, we challenged the proposed merger between Kroger (owner of King Soopers and City Market) and Albertsons (owner of Safeway) in Colorado state court.    This week, two parallel court challenges–in federal co…

Dear Friend,  As the year draws to a close, I like to reflect on what I’m grateful for from the past year and set my sights on the road ahead.  Let me take a moment here to share a few things that fill me with gratitude and hope. Colorado’s Commitment to Protecting Equality and Your Rights This Nove…

Dear Friend,  A few years ago, our office started getting calls about a company called “Wyatt’s Towing.”  You may have seen their signs—or worse, had your car towed by them.  Time and again, we’ve heard how they regularly deceived and mistreated consumers, towing cars illegally and charging outrageo…

Dear Friend,  When I meet with young people, and think about our future, I am optimistic.  At the Colorado Civics Bee competition, I met a student who is a powerful reason for such optimism: Joseph Drexler. He is a remarkable 14-year-old high school student from Buena Vista, who is bringing light to…

Dear Friend, As Colorado Attorney General, I will always prioritize protecting our land, air, and water–and meeting the challenges of climate change.   Last month, I filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court, on behalf of 16 State Attorneys General, to stop a project that would transport hund…

Dear Friend,  In these uncertain times, many Coloradans are worried about what last week’s election means for our community.  I appreciate many of you sharing your concerns with me directly–and we are listening.  We have heard from parents, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and those who care about …

Dear Friend,  Tuesday night was difficult. Like you, I’m still processing and reflecting on the election results and what they mean for our country and our community.    For all of us, it’s crucial that we remain committed to protecting our democracy, upholding the rule of law, and promoting justice…

Dear Friend,  In Colorado, we have a gold standard for managing our elections and a commitment to ensuring every eligible vote is counted.  Our office recently issued a public advisory, making clear that any effort to intimidate voters is a crime and will be taken seriously. You can read more about …

Dear Friend,  Last Thursday, we made our closing argument urging a judge to block the proposed grocery mega-merger between Kroger, owner of King Soopers and City Market, and Albertsons, owner of Safeway.   To be blunt, this merger is bad for consumers, workers, farmers, and communities. After 19 l…

Dear Friend,  Costilla County residents are worried, to say the least, about an out-of-state billionaire landowner’s fence currently under construction. But to call it just a fence does no justice to what is happening in Costilla—this is an eight-foot tall barrier constructed by heavy machinery resu…

Dear Friend,  Two weeks ago, we hosted our third annual Colorado Opioid Abatement Conference.  Colorado’s dedication to addressing the opioid crisis is making a difference—but there is so much more work to do.    An important session featured a conversation about the impact of this crisis on familie…

Dear Friend,  Over three years ago, then-Mesa County clerk Tina Peters tampered with voting machines in an attempt to prove Trump’s Big Lie.   Since then, my office and the Mesa County district attorney have worked together to make clear that those who undermine the integrity of our elections and el…

Dear Friend,  As Colorado Attorney General, I am working hard to protect our kids. That’s why I’ve taken Meta to court to address Instagram and Facebook’s harmful impact on young people. It’s why I led a coalition of 42 State Attorneys General urging Congress to require social media warning labels …

Dear Friend, An issue I hear about often when I talk with Coloradans is their concern about housing affordability. And people tell me regularly that they are concerned that they cannot afford to live near where they work.  That’s why this summer, I joined Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan to…

Dear Friend, When I first ran to serve as Colorado’s Attorney General, I said I would visit all 64 counties of our state.  Over the last seven years, I have enjoyed and benefited from this tradition. I’ve visited every county — most multiple times. And I have already visited all 64 counties again d…

Dear Friend,  As a young lawyer, I joined the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division to fight for consumers. As Colorado’s Attorney General, I am leading several important antitrust cases to protect consumers from big corporations, including the landmark case against Google.  In August, the federal…
