How to decide who to support
People often ask where to give money, and I always find it hard to answer. For me, the real test is whether someone has actually stood up to corporate power when it was risky to do so, not when it was safe or symbolic. That test narrows the field pretty quickly, but David Seligman clears it without question.
He's an underdog running for Colorado Attorney General right now. He spent years as a public interest lawyer challenging Uber and Lyft as they built their business model around classifying drivers as “independent contractors,” a legal trick that allowed them to avoid paying unemployment insurance, providing sick leave, or guaranteeing even the minimum wage. Most politicians were still celebrating “innovation” in the gig economy, but David was in court, fighting to make sure those drivers weren’t stripped of basic protections.
He also helped lead the fight against payday lenders in Colorado, who were charging desperate families annual interest rates well over 200 percent. The industry poured millions into defeating a ballot initiative to cap rates at 36 percent. With David’s legal and strategic work, voters overwhelmingly sided against the lenders, and families across the state were spared from being trapped in endless cycles of debt.
He's got powerful opponents. Any support helps.
And he has consistently taken on wage theft in restaurants, on construction sites, and in other workplaces where corporations quietly rob workers of the money they’ve earned, often assuming nobody will fight them. David has made a career out of clawing that money back and proving that the law can, in fact, work for ordinary people.
This is why the office of Attorney General is so critical right now. Attorneys General don’t just issue statements; they have real power to block mergers, to sue monopolies, to regulate contracts, and to reshape markets that determine how much people pay for food, housing, or health care. We already have plenty of Attorneys General who are eager to put out press releases about standing up to Trump. What we don’t have enough of are Attorneys General who are willing to stand up to Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and the everyday corporate abuses that quietly shape the lives of millions.
David Seligman has already shown he will take those fights on when it’s lonely, when it’s hard, and when the odds are against him. That’s the kind of record that makes me believe he’s worth supporting. If you’re trying to decide where to put your money, consider sending a little his way.
