  Wednesday, July 1, 2026 Another Blow to Democratic Establishment as Melat Kiros Unseats 30-Year Incumbent in Colorado Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist and first-time candidate, defeated 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette on Tuesday in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District primary, the latest signal that progressive momentum and backlash against the Democratic establishment are spreading nationwide.   “We won tonight, but this is also something so much bigger than this moment,” Kiros, who was fired from the law firm Sidley Austin in 2023 for speaking out in support of Palestinian rights demonstrators, told backers late Tuesday after The Associated Press called the race in her favor. “We believe that fundamental change can, and will, happen if we fight for it—if we organize, if we show no fear in standing up for what’s right.

  Last week, we got word that Diana DeGette was openly signaling for super PACs to enter this race and run attack ads against me. Well, today we found out one of them answered. A newly created super PAC has announced it’s spending $350,000 on ads to smear me with outright lies. What makes it even worse is that we have no idea who is paying for it. FIGHT BACK This super PAC didn't exist a month ago. There is virtually no public information about its donors, no way for voters to know whose interests are behind these attacks, and zero accountability for the people writing the checks.

Or it could be AIPAC, disguising their influence by funneling money through yet another shell PAC, as they’ve done multiple times over the last several years. It could be the weapons manufacturers like Lockheed Martin,...

  COLORADO - A RACE THAT HASN'T RECEIVED AS MUCH ATTENTION AS IT  SHOULD...MELAT KIROS FOR CONGRESS! Justice Democrats-endorsed candidate Melat Kiros is making waves and shaking up the political establishment in Denver: Melat surged to prominence after defeating 30-year incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette at the Denver County Democratic Assembly —   earning 63% of the vote and handing Degette her first assembly loss since 1996 . While the assembly doesn’t decide the primary, moments like this don’t happen by accident. They point to something real:  momentum. A growing number of voters are looking for a different kind of Democrat — one who’s willing to challenge the status quo and actually fight for transformative change. Melat is running to do exactly that.  Help her win with a grassroots donation now! She said it herself:  “We hear politicians say over and over that we need bold leadership, progress, and change. We’ve heard this for years. Decades. But they never...
