ATTORNEY Beth
McCann was elected District Attorney of Denver in November 2016 and was sworn
into office on January 10, 2017. She is
the first female District Attorney in Denver’s history. Beth brings extensive prosecutorial, legal
and managerial experience, proven leadership, and community perspective to the
Denver DA’s office.
Immediately prior to becoming
District Attorney, Beth was the four-term state representative for House
District 8 in central and northeast Denver.
McCann was a leader in criminal justice matters and health care
reform throughout her legislative career.
Beth McCann began her legal career as a
law clerk for Colorado’s U.S. District Court Judge Sherman G. Finesilver. She
then served almost eight years as a deputy and then Chief Deputy District
Attorney in Denver, prosecuting hundreds of cases, including child abuse and
murders.
Her career included eight years in private
practice with the Denver law firm of Cooper & Kelley, and she earned a
partnership in that firm in 1985.
McCann
was Denver’s first female Manager of Safety in the early 1990s under Mayor
Wellington Webb, and the first director of Denver’s Safe City program to help kids stay out
of gangs, drugs and violence. Juvenile crime decreased by over 20% following
the establishment of this program.
Before
becoming a state legislator, Beth McCann was Deputy Attorney General for Civil
Litigation and Employment Law in the Colorado Attorney General’s Office for 8 years,
supervising
33 trial lawyers as well as their support staff.
Beth
McCann is a founding member and former president of the Colorado Women’s Bar
Association, served as first Vice-President of the Denver Bar Association and was
on the Board of Governors of the Colorado Bar Association. She also served on the Colorado Supreme
Court/Court of Appeals Nominating Commission, and was a member of the Colorado
Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice.
She was chair of the Safety and Security Committee at Denver East High
School and a coach of East’s Constitutional Scholars team. McCann also served on Governor John
Hickenlooper’s transition team as a member of his public safety committee and
on Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s search committee for a new chief of police.
McCann
graduated magna cum laude from
Wittenberg University in Ohio with a B.A. in American Studies, and earned her
law degree from Georgetown University Law School. Beth and her husband Christopher have two
children, Chris and Lizzy, both Denver East High and Amherst College (MA)
graduates.
