Phil Weiser Is Not the People’s Candidate — I Am

While campaigning to be “the people’s governor,” Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is quietly overseeing a politically motivated prosecution — one that weaponizes the criminal justice system against me, a Black intellectual, entrepreneur, and business owner, for a civil matter that was already settled with prejudice.

This is not justice.
This is persecution.
This is a calculated abuse of state power — aimed not at upholding the law, but at undermining my life, reputation, and livelihood under the false banner of “law and order.”

Let the public understand:

• This criminal case is built on a false affidavit

• It repackages civil claims that were closed with prejudice

• It followed a private meeting between the AG’s office and the insurance lobby

• It is being pushed through the courts using ex parte communication and deliberate silence

Phil Weiser is not standing up to corporate interests — he is advancing their agenda.
He is not protecting the people — he is protecting power.
And he is certainly not speaking for the people — because the true voice of the people does not come from a podium, it comes from lived truth.

I did not ask for this fight, but I will not walk away from it.

Despite attempts to assign me ineffective counsel, block my voice in court, and isolate me procedurally, I have not broken.

I have the evidence.
I have the filings.
And I have the truth — not as a slogan, but as a lived experience.

Let me be clear:

Phil Weiser is not the people’s candidate. I am.
Because I know what it means to build, to struggle, and to be targeted by the very system that should protect us.
I know what it means to stand alone, to speak plainly, and to fight with law, not politics.
And unlike Phil Weiser, I do not borrow the people’s voice — I live it.

This is no longer just my fight.
It is a message to every citizen, every entrepreneur, every working person, and every person of color:
If this can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
And if we do not expose it now, it will happen again.

I remain committed to the truth, to the law, and to the people I represent.
This is not about politics — it’s about principle.
And I will see it through, with clarity, evidence, and resolve.
