I Endorse Melat Kiros for Congress (CO‑01)

I’m endorsing Melat Kiros for Congress in Colorado’s 1st District.

The era of “any Democrat will do” is over. CO‑01 deserves a representative who is willing to say exactly where she stands: with the people, not corporate PACs or AIPAC.

Melat is a lawyer, PhD student, democratic socialist, immigrant, and Denverite running on the kind of agenda this moment calls for: Medicare for All, Housing First, universal child and elder care, abolishing ICE, an arms embargo, taxing the rich, labor rights, reproductive justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, and getting money out of politics.

That is the kind of clear, working-class, anti-establishment politics Democrats need more of.

I’m proud to endorse Melat Kiros. If you’re in Denver, please pledge to vote by June 30. Everyone else: donate, volunteer, and spread the word.
