Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser launched his 2026 gubernatorial campaign on Thursday.
Weiser is the first major Democrat to enter the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Jared Polis.
Potential Democratic challengers include Secretary of State Jena Griswold, U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, and U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar.
According to a recent poll, Neguse leads the field with 20% support among likely Democratic primary voters. Griswold follows at 16%, Salazar at 11%, and Weiser at 8%, while a significant portion of voters remain undecided.
