BOULDER, COLO. — Fri., May 29, 2026 — District Attorney and candidate for Colorado Attorney General Michael Dougherty today announced the endorsement of Greater Denver Transit, a leading grassroots advocacy organization working to improve public transportation across the Denver metro region.

Greater Denver Transit advocates for a transit system that is fast, frequent, reliable, accessible, and responsive to the needs of Colorado communities. The organization has been a prominent voice on transit accountability, safety, and mobility issues impacting working families, commuters, students, seniors, and people with disabilities throughout the region.

“I’m honored to earn the endorsement of Greater Denver Transit,” said Dougherty. “Safe, reliable public transit is essential to Colorado’s future, strengthening our economy, reducing congestion, improving air quality, and connecting people to jobs, schools and opportunities. As Attorney General, I will continue fighting for public safety, government accountability, and smart investments that help Colorado communities thrive.”

The endorsement reflects Dougherty’s longstanding commitment to public safety, consumer protection, and improving quality of life for Coloradans.

“Michael Dougherty understands that safe and reliable transit systems are critical to the future of the Denver metro region,” said James Flattum, President of Greater Denver Transit. “Transit riders deserve to feel safe on RTD buses, trains, and platforms, and communities deserve accountability and transparency from public institutions. We believe Michael Dougherty will be a strong advocate for public safety, rider confidence, and policies that strengthen mobility and accessibility across Colorado.”

Dougherty currently serves as Boulder County District Attorney, where he has built a reputation for protecting victims, combating organized crime and fentanyl trafficking, and improving public safety while advancing practical, community-focused solutions.
