Congratulations to Colorado district attorney candidates @alonzopayneCO and Amy Padden for winning their primaries last night. Together, we can fundamentally reform our broken criminal justice system by electing progressives at every level.
NEW: San Luis Valley DA @AlonzoPayneCO resigns after an investigation found he ignored and mistreated crime victims. Payne, elected in 2020 promising criminal justice reform, lost the support of fellow Democrats, including AG Phil Weiser, who will serve as interim DA. #copolitics
