The Stakes
In Colorado, voters face a stark choice between Attorney General Phil Weiser—who aggressively defends the rights of all Coloradans, promotes public safety, and protects our land, water, and people—and challenger John Kellner, who would take us backwards on these issues.
Colorado voters need to know that John Kellner is wrong for Colorado. John Kellner does not believe in a woman's right to choose, and won’t lead on keeping us safe from gun violence.
On abortion, Kellner supports allowing states to pass dangerous laws that criminalize women and their doctors for reproductive health care decisions.
On gun safety, Kellner has failed to support common sense gun safety laws like background checks and Colorado’s law limiting magazines to 15 rounds, has opposed our Red Flag law that keeps guns away from proven dangerous people. Kellner is endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA).
