About the Campaign
David Seligman, a nationally-recognized workers’ rights, consumer rights, and antimonopoly lawyer, is running for Attorney General of Colorado. David has built a career fighting corporate power and abuse, returning tens of millions of dollars to everyday people, and pioneering legal strategies to help working people and small businesses stand up to the biggest corporations in the world and the Trump Administration. He’s represented rideshare drivers, meatpackers, nurses, teachers, veterans, renters buried in junk fees, and people across Colorado drowning in medical debt.
David is campaigning to take back the law from corporations, billionaires, and corrupt politicians in Washington. Attorneys General are the frontlines of the fight to protect communities bullied by Donald Trump. We have to fight back, but it’s not enough to just restore the status quo. We have to root out corruption and corporate abuse to tackle the affordability crisis, protect our planet, build a healthcare system that puts people over profits, ensure workers have power and voice, and defend small businesses.
That takes bold, innovative leaders with the courage and experience to take on entrenched corporate power and protect our freedoms and livelihoods. David Seligman is that leader.
