John Suthers Recognized with 2023 Spirit of the Springs Lifetime Achievement Award
John Suthers, former mayor of Colorado Springs and a shareholder in Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck’s Government Relations Department, was recognized with the 2023 Spirit of the Springs Lifetime Achievement Award for his notable achievements and lifelong contributions to Colorado Springs.
Suthers intrinsically understands how Colorado politics and government works. He draws on his prior public service experience to help clients navigate state attorneys general, state government and litigation issues. During his time as mayor of Colorado Springs, he sparked historic infrastructure projects throughout the city including improvements to road construction and storm water systems, the City for Champions project and rejuvenating the Colorado Springs airport and downtown.
Suthers served as attorney general of Colorado from 2005 to 2015. Under his leadership, the Colorado Attorney General’s Office earned a national reputation for excellence. In 2001, President Bush appointed Suthers to be United States attorney for Colorado and he was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Suthers was honored by Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Moboblade during his State of the City luncheon on Sept. 14.
