If you’re looking for a good info on the positions of the candidates for Denver DA, take a look at this interview by Kyle Clark at 9NEWS (KUSA). I’m supporting John Walsh because he has the right approach to make Denver a safer and more vibrant city. In my brief run for Denver DA, I put forth some ideas about how we can improve the DA’s Office. I’m looking forward to working with him to bring some of those ideas to fruition. Ballots are due June 25. Vote for John!

Full conversation with Denver's 2024 district attorney candidates Leora Joseph and John Walsh, Denver's two Democratic district attorney candidates, talk about similarities and differences in how they'd run the office.

Ballots in the Democratic primary are out, and it’s time to vote! I’m supporting John Walsh because he is a skilled leader who can improve the Denver District Attorney’s Office and make Denver safer. You can check out John’s first commercial here:

This past week, I decided to end my campaign for Denver D.A. It was an amazing experience, but gathering the resources and support needed for a successful city-wide campaign in Denver is a full-time job, and I couldn’t step away from my current role – as a Chief Deputy District Attorney with the Denver D.A.’s Office – to devote all my time to the race. As the campaign progressed, I realized I just didn’t have the time and resources to be competitive.

After I had a chance to sit down with John Walsh and talk to him about his vision for the office, the similarities between our platforms, and his willingness to use data as an innovative tool to improve prosecution, I decided that the best use of my time and efforts was to support his candidacy.

I am eternally grateful to everyone who helped me with this endeavor, including the dozens of others who donated to my campaign, took the time to talk with me, offered advice, and showed me how to be a better and more effective candidate. Trust that while I am bowing out of this race now, I fully intend to continue to serve the People of the City and County of Denver and the State of Colorado.

Thank you all for your time and support.

The Denver D.A. has a duty to listen to its constituents and respond to their needs. As Denver D.A. I will constantly seek to gather input from the community and use that input to improve the office’s policies and inform its perspectives.
