John Frank in Axios:

“The leading Democrats in the 2026 governor’s race are two of the most vocal critics of dark money in politics.

Yes, but: Both — U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser — are poised to benefit from dark money donors in the campaign.

Why it matters: The juxtaposition threatens to erode their records on a key issue among Democrats.

State of play: Bennet allies registered the state-level super PAC Rocky Mountain Way days after he entered the race in April and raised $950,000 in its first three months.

The largest contributor is Brighter Future for Colorado, a nonprofit that donated $300,000 and isn’t required to disclose its donors.

Other major donations came from pro-charter school and education organizations that didn’t report the source of the money.

Weiser’s boosters formed their super PAC on July 22, and it’s unclear who is behind the group. Donor information won’t be available until October’s campaign finance filing deadline.”
