Boulder District Attorney  continue to lead efforts to prevent and prosecute gun violence. We have made progress in reducing gun violence. I have also successfully prosecuted horrific murder cases and secured justice for the victims and their families. But there is more work to do.

Keep in mind these sobering statistics:

  • In Colorado, 86% of domestic violence deaths involved firearms.
  • Colorado has the 10th highest rate of gun suicides in the U.S.: 1 every 13 hours.

As your next Attorney General, I will take my successful efforts statewide:

  • Vigorously prosecute cases and offer prosecution support to smaller, non-metro jurisdictions that require assistance.
  • Fight for sensible and reasonable legislative changes, such as our successful, bipartisan bill to ban ghost guns.
  • Raise community awareness and access to Extreme Risk Protection Orders.
  • Increase safe gun storage — by distributing FREE gun safes purchased through grant funding and non-profit organizations. That’s how we reduce the number of stolen guns.

In 2024, a leading gun violence prevention organization recognized me for my work in Boulder County. I want to take this approach statewide.
