About the message:
This mailer from the Colorado Republican Party's super PAC contrasts GOP attorney general candidate George Brauchler with Democratic opponent Phil Weiser. It emphasizes Brauchler's work as a prosecutor, and points out Weiser's lack of criminal courtroom experience. Weiser is a former dean of University of Colorado's law school and worked in the Obama administration. While attorneys general enforce state law, they rarely directly prosecute criminal cases.
About the messenger:
The Colorado Republican Party's independent expenditure committee takes unlimited contributions and may spend unlimited amounts. But the committee isn't supposed to coordinate with candidates.
