Issue evidence — side by side
Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits
Slate confirmed against the Colorado Secretary of State's official 2026 General Election candidate list; no other parties' AG candidates appear on it. Griswold's positions come from her own candidate questionnaire answers as published by KRDO; a climate position that appeared only in Ballotpedia's quotation of her campaign website was removed because the original could not be found. Allen's campaign-site claims about his office are his own statements. Allen's positions on the guide's fixed issues were not found as direct statements.
