Phil Weiser Wins Colorado Democratic Gubernatorial Primary, AP Projects

Weiser's primary victory sets up a general election contest for Colorado's governorship at a moment when the state has become a competitive battleground in statewide races.

The Congressional Times · July 1, 2026

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has won the Democratic primary for governor, the Associated Press projected on July 1, 2026. The AP projection, which is based on vote returns and its established calling methodology, identified Weiser as the Democratic nominee for the state's gubernatorial race. The underlying vote tallies are publicly available through the Colorado Secretary of State's official election results portal.

Weiser has served as Colorado Attorney General since January 2019, winning re-election in November 2022 with approximately 57 percent of the vote according to the Colorado Secretary of State's certified results. His tenure in that office has included participation in multistate litigation and consumer protection actions, the details of which are documented in the Colorado Attorney General's public case records.

Colorado holds its gubernatorial general election in November 2026. Incumbent Democratic Governor Jared Polis is term-limited under Colorado's constitution, which restricts governors to two consecutive four-year terms, making the seat open for the first time since 2018. The Republican primary results and the identity of Weiser's general election opponent were not fully certified as of the time of this report; the Colorado Secretary of State's certified canvass would confirm final primary totals for all candidates.

What remains unknown at publication time includes the final margin of Weiser's primary victory, the total number of ballots cast, and whether any outstanding mail-in or provisional ballots could affect the certified result. The Colorado Secretary of State's office is the authoritative public record for those figures once canvassing is complete.

We Follow the Data, Not the Narrative

The Congressional Times exists because public records are public — and the analysis built from them should not be exclusive to those who can afford $60,000-a-year intelligence subscriptions.

Every story published in The Congressional Times is sourced to a verifiable public record: a court filing, a Senate lobbying disclosure, an FEC contribution record, a USASpending contract, or a verified news report. We state our sources inline. We show our math. When we are wrong, we say so publicly.

We do not editorialize in news coverage. We do not use loaded language. Both political parties are held to identical standards.

The Follow the Money investigations are the heart of this publication. Each begins with Gab-E Political Intelligence running against 10+ million government records before a single word of editorial is written.

How We Source, Verify, and Correct Our Work

Every factual claim in a Congressional Times story is checked against a primary source: a government filing, a court record, a direct quote, before publication. When a claim can't be verified or doesn't hold up as originally reported, we drop it or reframe it. We do not publish disputed claims as settled fact.

When we get it wrong: we correct the story directly, note the correction and date at the bottom of the piece, and update the record. We do not quietly edit and move on.

Bylines: stories with a named byline are written and fact-checked by that person. Stories without a byline are sourced from Gab-E Political Intelligence, our automated research platform, and are labeled as such.

Ownership: The Congressional Times is published by Gab-E Holdings LLC. Gab-E, our intelligence platform, powers our sourcing and research pipeline.
