Gov. Polis has officially endorsed Sean Camacho in the House District 6 primary, Camacho’s campaign announced Wednesday. 

Alongside Polis, the Denver attorney has received endorsements from over 31 elected leaders, including Attorney General Phil Weiser, Senate President Steve Fenberg, House Speaker Julie McCluskie, and House Majority Leader Monica Duran. Several progressive organizations, including Colorado Professional Firefighters, Colorado Ceasefire, and the Stop Anti-Semitism Colorado Action Fund, have also endorsed Camacho.

“I am honored to have a broad base of support in this primary,” Camacho said in a statement. “Democrats have an opportunity to do big things, and I want to be part of moving Colorado forward.”

Camacho is facing incumbent Rep. Elisabeth Epps in the June primary. Epps has drawn criticism from fellow Democrats at the Capitol for joining a group of pro-Palestinian protestors and calling fellow lawmakers fascists during last November’s special session, as well as filing a lawsuit against party leaders alleging violations of the state’s open meetings laws. The lawsuit was settled in September. 

The primary election is June 25.
