Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said his gubernatorial campaign raised more than $155,000 a day after launching his campaign.

Weiser announced his candidacy for governor on Thursday.

It’s customary for candidates to unveil their fundraising numbers shortly after announcing their campaign for elected office.

The Weiser campaign also announced its leadership team, including campaign co-chairs Jeni Arndt, Mayor of Fort Collins; Omar Montgomery, a former Aurora mayoral candidate; Meg Porfido, a former chief of staff for the governor’s officel; and Ed Perlmutter, a former congressman.

Also joining the team as honorary campaign chair is former Gov. Roy Romer.  

Other early endorsers included former state legislator Polly Baca, former Secretary of State Bernie Buescher, Sen. Marc Snyder of Colorado Springs, Sen. Dafna Michaelson Jenet of Commerce City, and former State Senator and now Jefferson County Commissioner Rachel Zenzinger. 

Weiser is so far the first Democrat to announce intentions to succeed Gov. Jared Polis, who is in his final term.
