Attorney General Phil Weiser draws challenge from Republican DA John Kellner

Republican District Attorney John Kellner, the top prosecutor in Colorado's 18th Judicial District, declared on Thursday that he's challenging Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser, who is seeking a second term.

Kellner announced his long-anticipated run in a Colorado Politics opinion article that attempts to link Weiser to the state's rising crime rate.

"Make no mistake, our crime wave will only get worse unless people in leadership roles are willing to stand up for public safety all the time, not just when their job is on the line and regardless of the political affiliation of our governor," Kellner said.
