John,
Justice Democrats just endorsed Melat Kiros in CO-01 because we need leaders who aren't afraid to challenge entrenched incumbents backed by corporate Super PACs — especially those who do it while calling themselves “progressive.”
Let us tell you why this race for the future of Denver matters and why Melat’s opponent has to go. But first, if you’re ready to take out a Big Pharma darling, split a donation between Melat’s campaign and Justice Democrats right now >>
Melat is running against Diana DeGette, who has served in Congress for the entirety of Melat’s life. She calls herself progressive, but is bankrolled by corporate PACs. She wants her voters to think she’ll support Medicare for All, but is powered by Big Pharma.
After decades in office, rents keep rising. Medical bills are getting more expensive. And child care now costs more than some people’s paychecks. DeGette doesn’t think she has to campaign for her seat, so we are bringing a fight to her.
Melat is completely rejecting corporate PAC money because she believes leadership means being accountable to people, not lobbyists. Instead of doing what massive corporations want, she’ll support legislation that helps every Denver family: Medicare for All, Housing First, and Universal Childcare. Split $5 now if you’re ready to help us send Melat to Congress.
If we’re going to win these policies, then we need leaders who don’t just sign on to bills and expect a gold star while taking corporate PAC checks under the table. We need leaders whose entire job is to fight for bold solutions to our most urgent crises. But the lobbies that Melat’s opponent works for won’t go down without a fight. We need to make sure Melat has the grassroots resources she needs to run an effective campaign and win.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
