Melat Kiros was born in 1997, the year her representative in the U.S. House, Democrat Diana DeGette, took office. On Tuesday, Kiros hopes to unseat her.<\/p>\n

The next frontier of the fight for the Democratic Party is in Denver, where DeGette, a 15-term incumbent and longtime progressive, is facing her most serious primary challenge yet from Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist and first-time candidate.<\/p>\n

Democrats\u2019 widespread dissatisfaction and anger with their party leadership and a push for generational change in the wake of the party\u2019s loss to President Donald Trump in 2024 have made incumbents in safe blue seats, like DeGette, unexpectedly vulnerable, with both Kiros and University of Colorado Regent Wanda James challenging her.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s elections in New York showed a wave of support for progressive left candidates, with one young democratic socialist challenger, Darializa Avila Chevalier, unseating top House Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York\u2019s 13th District. Both Chevalier and Kiros have made criticizing Israel\u2019s war in Gaza and supporting Palestine central to their campaigns.<\/p>\n

And while there\u2019s been scant polling ahead of Tuesday\u2019s vote in Colorado\u2019s deep blue 1st Congressional District, an influx of pro-DeGette and anti-Kiros spending from outside groups in the final days before the election points to a highly competitive contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this cycle, particularly Democratic voters are just so fed up with the establishment\u2019s failures, not only in defeating Donald Trump, but defending our communities against Donald Trump, since he\u2019s been elected,\u201d said Usamah Andrabi, communications director for Justice Democrats, a group backing progressive candidates that endorsed both Chevalier and Kiros.<\/p>\n

Kiros, a lawyer, PhD student and barista whose family immigrated to the United States from Ethiopia when she was a baby, launched her campaign last year, casting DeGette, 68, as a representative of a failing Democratic establishment beholden to corporate interests.<\/p>\n

The party as a whole, Kiros argued, has \u201clost step\u201d with its roots as a party for the working class and shares responsibility for giving corporations and moneyed interests more influence over policy than regular Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not a democracy, that\u2019s an oligarchy,\u201d Kiros said in an interview. \u201cAnd Democrats have to reckon with the role that our party has played in maintaining this oligarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeGette is a longtime progressive who leads an influential subcommittee overseeing healthcare and has said she would push to pass Medicare for All if Democrats retake the House. But her acceptance of corporate PAC funds, including from the healthcare industry, has become a central line of attack from Kiros and her supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s less about left versus right than whether you\u2019re on the side of working people,\u201d said Ravi Mangla, a spokesperson for the Working Families Party, which has also endorsed Kiros. \u201cAnd when you\u2019re an elected official \u2014 like Diana DeGette \u2014 taking money from Big Pharma and ICE contractors, it becomes incredibly hard to make the case that you\u2019re on the side of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeGette and groups supporting her have highlighted her progressive positions, including support for abortion rights, and her role in managing Trump\u2019s first impeachment in 2019. In a recent candidate forum, DeGette defended her record and her experience, saying, \u201cNow is not the time to gamble and send someone with no experience\u201d to Washington. She also denied that her contributions from corporate interests influence her votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody ever gave me a contribution and got anything in advance for that,\u201d DeGette said, per Colorado Newsline. \u201cIf people think that they can buy my vote by making a contribution, they are sorely, sorely mistaken.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a brief interview at the Capitol on Thursday, DeGette said she was \u201coptimistic\u201d about winning renomination Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like my message is getting out to the voters: fighting against Donald Trump, fighting for Medicare For All, and against ICE, and that\u2019s what they care about,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

When asked whether she thought the success of two democratic socialist candidates in New York City House races had any bearing on her race, DeGette said: \u201cDenver, Colorado, is not New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Kiros argued that Denver and New York do share a history of welcoming immigrants, embracing progressive politics and supporting an expansive social safety net \u2014 and also are both grappling with rising costs of living.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the most progressive and one of the youngest districts in the country,\u201d Kiros said. \u201cThe question of who\u2019s out of touch with the voters is a question of whose platform actually aligns with the values that this district has, and it doesn\u2019t surprise me that the congresswoman can\u2019t see that these are the values that the voters of Denver care about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s primaries in Colorado come amid a streak of high-profile primary wins for candidates from the progressive left wing of the Democratic Party and those challenging more entrenched politicians in deep-blue cities like Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and, most recently, New York. The story of the primary, though, isn\u2019t one of complete dominance by the party\u2019s progressive wing: In other races, more moderate and establishment-aligned candidates have prevailed, and other Democrats have successfully beat back primary challenges.<\/p>\n

Also in Colorado, Sen. Michael Bennet is in a closer-than-expected race in the Democratic primary for governor against Attorney General Phil Weiser, and Sen. John Hickenlooper is facing a primary challenge from state Sen. Julie Gonzales.<\/p>\n

Andrabi argued that both Espaillat and DeGette were \u201ccaught flat-footed\u201d by Justice Democrats-backed insurgents and didn\u2019t take their challengers seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of voters just see so often these incumbents only show up with a level of alarm and urgency when their own career is being threatened, but not when the livelihoods of working-class communities in their district are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Most of the pro-Kiros spending in the race has come from Justice Democrats\u2019 PAC, which has spent over $500,000, and from the pro-Palestine PAC American Priorities, both of which also backed Chevalier in New York.<\/p>\n

Kiros, who was fired from her job at a top New York City law firm after publishing a letter in November 2023 criticizing top law firms\u2019 response to Hamas\u2019 attack on Israel, has made opposition to Israel central to her campaign, referring to Israel\u2019s actions as \u201cgenocide\u201d and calling for an arms embargo on Israel.<\/p>\n

And in the final days of the race, outside groups have come in with a crush of last-minute ad spending boosting DeGette and attacking Kiros. Most of the pro-DeGette and anti-Kiros spending is coming from Pro-Choice Majority Action, a PAC linked to Elect Democratic Women, which spent over $1.5 million on ads in the final two weeks of the campaign. Another newly formed PAC with mysterious origins, the Mile High Accountability Project, has spent $350,000 supporting DeGette and attacking Kiros.<\/p>\n

The race is also another test for pro-Israel groups that unsuccessfully spent to boost Espaillat in New York. Pro-Choice Majority Action received nearly all of its funding last month from Elect Democratic Women Action Fund, which, in turn, received $250,000 from the AIPAC-affiliated United Democracy Project in April, campaign finance filings show.<\/p>\n

DeGette and the groups backing her are running digital ads arguing that Kiros, who grew up in Denver and moved back last year, has weak ties to the community and linking her to tenets of the Democratic Socialists of America\u2019s platform, such as leaving NATO, which Kiros has said she does not support. One ad from Pro-Choice Majority Action attacks her for having worked at a big law firm while campaigning on reining in corporate power. And multiple ads highlight a response Kiros gave in a recent television interview in which she said the 9\/11 terror attacks \u201cwere inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrabi said he believed the last-minute spending to boost DeGette showed the pro-Israel lobby was \u201cpanicking\u201d after its losses in New York. \u201cWe keep winning against these lobbies and keep beating them, and so I think it might be a little too little, too little too late in some ways,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Kiros said while the outside spending is \u201cdaunting,\u201d it reaffirms her reason for running.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always knew this would be the risk,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m challenging her in the first place, because there are corporations and special interests that want to keep her in power, and these are the same corporations and special interests that are keeping prices high and destroying our economy for working families.\u201d<\/p>\n
