Michael DiManna is a fourth-generation Denverite with deep roots in the Denver community. With over 50 years of experience as a trial attorney, he has built a distinguished legal career while witnessing the transformation of his hometown over decades.

In the early 1980s, DiManna made history by founding Di Manna & Jackson, the first minority-owned law firm in Denver, breaking barriers in the legal profession and paving the way for future generations of diverse attorneys. His pioneering work in the legal community reflects both his professional excellence and commitment to expanding opportunity.

Drawing on his extensive experience and his concern about the direction of Denver and Colorado, DiManna ran for Colorado House District 2 in 2024 but did not win the election. His campaign focused on critiquing one-party rule and addressing what he viewed as failed policies, particularly around homelessness and public safety in Denver.

On the Kim Monson Show, DiManna discussed his campaign, his perspective on Denver's challenges, and his vision for bringing balance and accountability to Colorado governance.
