BREAKING, John:

Today, Justice Democrats is proud to announce our sixth 2026 Democratic
primary endorsement: Melat Kiros in Colorado’s 1st congressional district!

Melat is the daughter of Ethiopian immigrants who built a life in Denver
through hard work and community. When she witnessed the Tigray genocide in
Ethiopia in 2020-2022, she spoke up against it. And then when she saw the
genocide happening in Gaza, she defended pro-Palestinian protesters — even
though it cost her her job at her law firm.

That’s the kind of urgency and moral clarity we need in Congress:
principled fighters who won’t back down when lives are on the line, not
more Representatives who will fold for a corporate PAC check.

right now, and 100% of it will go directly to her campaign →

Melat’s parents supported their family from the ground up by working two
and three jobs while neighbors and chosen family helped raise Melat and
her sister. That’s how she learned what community really means: no one
gets left behind.

Today, too many people are being left behind by those in Washington, like
CO-01 incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette. DeGette has been in office since the
year Melat was born. Rent is crushing, childcare costs more than a second
mortgage, and you can lose everything because you get sick—even if you
have insurance. Meanwhile, Congress is bought and paid for by the same
corporations driving up prices.

Melat represents a generation that did what everyone said they should:
earned degrees, worked hard, followed the rules, and still aren’t able to
afford a home or healthcare. As a renter, a barista, and a PhD student,
she knows firsthand what it means to live the struggle that career
politicians only talk about.

Melat is running for Congress to put working people at the center of every
decision and to deliver three basic guarantees: Medicare for All, Housing
First, and Universal Childcare.

We can’t deliver these key necessities to working-class people in Denver
and the rest of the country until we get corporate money out of politics,
and that means replacing corporate-backed Democrats like DeGette with a
new generation of leadership.

But like other Justice Democrats, Melat can’t defeat an entrenched,
complacent incumbent without support from our people-powered movement.
