What’s Happening to
ensure we have a
Constitutional Attorney
General for Colorado
Why our Colorado AG Matters
The Department of Law
(more commonly known as the
Attorney General’s Office) is headed by the
Attorney General, which is currently held
by Phil Weiser, a democrat running for re-
election.
The AG represents and defends the legal
interests of Coloradoans and the
sovereignty of the State of Colorado as
well as the common law.
This is the top legal officer who advises
and represents
•
the Colorado legislature and
•
State agencies
The AG acts as “the People’s Lawyer for
citizens and is authorized to present
written opinions on questions of law to
the:
•
Colorado General Assembly
•
House of Representatives
•
Senate
•
Governor
•
Lieutenant Governor
•
Secretary of State
•
Executive Director of the Department
of Revenue
•
State Treasurer
•
State Auditor
•
Commissioner of Education
The AG enforces:
consumer protection and antitrust laws;
prosecution of criminal appeals
and some complex white-collar crimes;
the Statewide Grand Jury;
training and certification of peace officers;
and most natural resource and
environmental matters.
The AG works with the state’s 22 DAs and
other local, state, and federal law
enforcement authorities, carrying out
criminal justice responsibilities and
activities for the office.
As chief legal counsel, the AG advises the
executive branch of government and all
state government departments as well as
state agencies, boards, and commissions.
Weiser was sworn in as Colorado’s 39th AG
on January 8, 2019.
(Much of the above was roughly taken
from this website, paid for by taxpayers.)
