Indian-American lawyer Hetal Doshi is on the ballot for June 30’s Democratic primary for Colorado attorney general. The high-stakes June 30 election is being watched closely as a major battleground ahead of the November midterm elections.
With nearly 20 years of legal experience, Doshi has served as both a federal prosecutor in Colorado and a deputy assistant attorney general overseeing the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division under President Joe Biden. Throughout her career, she has prosecuted monopolies, cartels, fraudsters, and corrupt public officials.
Her candidacy is backed by Indian American Impact, an organization dedicated to supporting South Asian and Indian American candidates nationwide.
Doshi obtained a bachelor’s degree from Emory University and a law degree from the University of Virginia. Before obtaining her law degree, she worked as a strategy management consultant with a specialization in communications and technology. Doshi later worked as a litigator with multiple international law firms.
Others in the high-profile Democratic primary race are Michael Dougherty, Jena Griswold, and David Seligman. Incumbent Phil Weiser (Democrat) is term-limited and running for governor.
In her campaign, Doshi highlighted the fact that she has always put working families and honest businesses first; whether it was big corporate mergers that made groceries more expensive, colluders that raised the rent, monopolies that punished innovators and small businesses, or price fixers that kept wages and salaries down.
She has also focused on her working-class Indian immigrant parents who have instilled in her the values of hard work, fairness, and reinvesting in the American people.
Her achievements include working to combat hate crimes and the rise of extremism in Colorado, with a particular focus on ensuring that communities of faith could worship freely and safely. Doshi's campaign website says she has ‘spent her career in law enforcement, not politics’.
“Hetal Joshi running for attorney general in Colorado is incredible considering that the state doesn’t have a very large Indian American population. From attorney general to governor, Indian Americans are participating in some of the most significant races in the 2026 election cycle,” Neha Dewan, co national director of South Asians for America, said in a recent interview.
