Political Positions
LiberalConservative
Healthcare
Jena Griswold has publicly and repeatedly stated she supports reproductive health care and abortion access and has taken actions (calls for boycotts, public statements) to defend those rights. There is clear evidence of advocacy on reproductive health but no clear, direct public statements or policy proposals located about broader health-care system positions (e.g., ACA expansion, Medicare for All, Medicaid policy, or market-based reforms).
Immigration & Border
Public statements and official actions from the candidate focus on protecting voting access and opposing federal measures that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote; there are no clear, detailed policy proposals from the candidate specifically addressing border security, asylum access, or pathways to legalization. Available public record shows protective/rights-focused actions in her role as Secretary of State but does not provide a comprehensive position on immigration enforcement or legalization policy.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports abortion and reproductive health care as fundamental rights and opposes restrictions that would limit access. Has called for defending Colorado’s Reproductive Health Equity Act and has urged action against states that impose near-total abortion bans. Commits to protecting access to safe and legal abortion and to fighting to permanently protect reproductive rights.
Climate & Energy
Positions on climate and energy are limited and mainly framed as protecting Colorado’s land, air and water; there are no detailed policy proposals on emissions targets, fossil fuel phase-out, or specific clean-energy programs in the campaign materials and public records found. Ratings and third‑party scorecards show mixed support on climate issues rather than strong endorsement of aggressive climate policy. Overall, public statements and campaign materials emphasize environmental protection in general terms without clear, specific climate or energy policy commitments.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded gun-safety measures including prohibiting open carry near voting sites and pursuing additional state-level gun regulations. Has received endorsements and support from gun-safety groups and has said she would push for more gun regulations if serving as attorney general.
