Crisanta Duran, a former speaker of the Colorado House, is dropping out of the race to become the state’s next attorney general, the candidate announced Sunday morning.
“When I began my campaign for Colorado Attorney General, it was to take on monopolies of power that have eroded the health, safety, and economic security of Americans,” Duran said in a statement. “Since the launch, the knowledge I’ve gained has been tremendous and there is no doubt that access to democracy must be strengthened.”
Duran, a Democrat, did not say in her Sunday statement why she decided to end her campaign, which she launched in February.
The four-term state legislator previously represented northwest Denver and, from 2017 to 2019, was House speaker.
The crowded Democratic primary next year for Colorado Attorney General includes former federal prosecutor Hetal Doshi, Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty, former state House Speaker Crisanta Duran and David Seligman, the executive director of the legal nonprofit Towards Justice.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is term-limited and can’t run for reelection. Instead, he’ll be running for governor in 2026.
