To Governor-elect Phil Weiser, who takes office on January 12, 2027, and the Colorado legislature
The petition
Protect Kids Colorado, led by executive director Erin Lee, advanced three measures. Voters approved all three.
Proposition 133 requires a sentence of life in prison without parole for child sex trafficking. It passed with about 62 percent yes.
Proposition 134 keeps girls' and women's school and college sports teams for females. It passed with about 52.3 percent yes.
Proposition 135 bans surgeries that alter minors' sex characteristics. It passed with about 52.0 percent yes and about 48.0 percent no.
Phil Weiser is Governor-elect. He remains Attorney General until he takes office on January 12, 2027.
Propositions 134 and 135 change statutes, so the Colorado legislature can amend or repeal them by a simple majority.
We ask Governor-elect Phil Weiser and the Colorado legislature to respect the will of the people. They must not repeal, weaken, or rewrite Propositions 133, 134, and 135. Implement them as voters approved them.
He protested for No Kings. Now he wants to act like one.
On October 18, 2025, Phil Weiser posted that he had joined that day's No Kings gathering in Denver: “I proudly joined thousands of Coloradans at the Denver #NoKingsDayOct18th to defend our democracy.” On October 11, 2025, he wrote, “We cannot be intimidated, we must continue to use our voice, show up at No Kings rallies, and defend the very foundation of our republic.”
On November 4, 2026, Governor-elect Phil Weiser told reporters, “We’re going to have to take a look at these anti-trans measures, and what adjustments are necessary and appropriate.” Colorado Newsline reported that he was speaking about Propositions 134 and 135. He also said, “I don’t believe it would be acceptable for Colorado to have every student athlete have to go through full-body examinations or other invasions of privacy.” In that remark he did not name Proposition 133.
In June 2026 he said of Propositions 134 and 135, “The legislature is going to have to fix it and provide a much more human and sound approach,” The Colorado Sun reported.
This is an unacceptable abuse of power. Governor-elect Weiser must respect democracy and the will of Colorado voters. Sign the petition above to make your voice heard.
