Attorney General Phil Weiser is heading into the final weeks of an unusual Colorado gubernatorial campaign that, in the absence of rigorous debates and a conventional Republican opponent, has bred a consensus among many observers that he’s all but won the race.

But the muted campaign has left key questions hanging in the air about what kind of Democratic governor he would be, should he win the Nov. 3 election — and how his approach would differ from outgoing Gov. Jared Polis.

Would Weiser be beholden to the most progressive wing of his party, or would he serve as a moderate bulwark against it? Would he embrace new taxes and regulations, or would a teetering national and state economy stay his hand? Would he enter office seeing the legislature as a body to be corralled and controlled, or would he view lawmakers as willing partners for a mostly shared agenda?

The Denver Post published stories looking at how both major-party candidates for Colorado governor would approach the job. Read our full profile of Phil Weiser at the link in our bio.
