Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress in CO-01
In one of the most progressive districts in the country, voters in Colorado’s 1st deserve a representative who will fight as boldly as they do.
That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress.
Melat Kiros is a lawyer, PhD student, and grassroots candidate running to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington — accountable to working people, not corporate PACs or entrenched political power.
Her campaign is rooted in a clear, unapologetic progressive vision.
Melat is running on a platform that includes:
- Medicare for All — guaranteeing healthcare as a human right
- Housing First — treating housing as a public good and ending homelessness
- Universal childcare — ensuring every family has the support they need
- Ending corporate influence in politics — rejecting corporate PAC money
- An arms embargo rooted in human rights and accountability in U.S. foreign policy
She has been clear: in the richest country in the world, housing, healthcare, food, and education should be guaranteed rights — not privileges.
Melat’s candidacy is also about challenging a political status quo that has failed to deliver for working people. In a district like Denver — where inequality, displacement, and rising costs are reshaping communities — she is making the case that it’s time for leadership willing to take on corporate power and fight for structural change.
This is a campaign powered by people — not billionaires.
And it’s part of a broader movement to transform the Democratic Party into one that truly represents the needs of everyday Americans.
At Our Revolution, we believe that real change comes from candidates who are willing to stand up, speak out, and organize — even when it comes at a personal cost.
Melat Kiros is that kind of leader.
We’re proud to stand with her in Colorado’s 1st District — and we’re ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.
Join us. Let’s organize for a government that works for all of us.
