Soon, her parents were able to do the same for others.

"Establishment Democrats are beholden to the same billionaires who keep our prices high, burn our planet, and profit from a genocide. We can change that. It starts by changing who we send to Congress. As the only candidate rejecting all corporate PAC money, I'll always stand for Medicare for All, Housing First, Universal Childcare, and an Arms Embargo."<a href="/priorities-pdf-final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Downloadable PDF of Candidate Platform</a>

<h5>healthcare is a Human right</h5><h5></h5>Access to healthcare is directly linked to longer life expectancy, better mental health, and greater economic productivity. Yet over&nbsp;27 million Americans&nbsp;remain uninsured, and medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. No one should suffer or go bankrupt because they can’t afford healthcare. It's time we pass Medicare for All.

Medicare for All

<h5>safety is a Human right</h5>At $30 billion, our tax dollars have funded what nearly every human rights organization in the world, including the United Nations, has called a genocide in Palestine. Today, 75% of Democrats want to end all military aid to Israel, but our representatives aren't listening. We deserve leaders who stand up for human rights and listen to their constituents.

End All Wars

<h5>DIGNITY is a Human right</h5>We must Abolish ICE. Masked agents kidnapping innocent people off the streets and disappearing them into ICE facilities does not make us safer or protect American jobs. We need to hold the politicians who peddle these lies accountable. The agency is operating as a terror apparatus targeting immigrant families, asylum seekers, and long-rooted community members. We need to replace it with a humane, accountable immigration system focused on genuine public safety — not political theater.

Abolish I.C.E.

<h5>SUPPORT is a Human right</h5>Opportunity means nothing without reliable childcare, yet parents today face impossible choices: pay the equivalent of a second rent, cut back on work, or rely on a patchwork of favors. Families shouldn’t have to depend on luck to get through the week. Universal childcare would ensure every child has a safe place to grow and everyone has freedom to plan their future.

MELAT'S PRIORITIES

Immigration is a cornerstone of our national identity. Masked agents kidnapping innocent people off the streets and disappearing them into ICE facilities does not make us safer.&nbsp;It’s time to abolish ICE and build an immigration system grounded in dignity and justice by creating accessible pathways to citizenship, ending inhumane detention practices.&nbsp;We are greater because of immigrants.

Abolish I.C.E

Access to healthcare is directly linked to longer life expectancy, better mental health, and greater economic productivity. Yet over&nbsp;27 million Americans&nbsp;remain uninsured, and medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. No one should suffer or go bankrupt because they can’t afford healthcare. It's time we pass Medicare for All.

Opportunity means nothing without reliable child and elder care. Adults today face impossible choices: pay the equivalent of a second rent, cut back on work, or rely on a patchwork of favors. Families shouldn’t have to depend on luck to get through the week. Universal child and elder care would ensure everyone has a safe place to be and everyone has the freedom to plan for the future.

At $30 billion, our tax dollars have funded what nearly every human rights organization in the world, including the United Nations, has called a genocide in Palestine. Today, 75% of Democrats want to end all military aid to Israel, but our representatives aren't listening. We deserve leaders who stand up for human rights and listen to their constituents, not their wealthy donors.

<h2>Date updated: June 23, 2026 </h2>Melat Kiros is the unbought fighter that Denver deserves.&nbsp;Summary:&nbsp; Voters need to see on the go and read that Melat Kiros is endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders and is an immigrant raised in Denver and a lawyer who was fired for defending students' rights to protest the genocide in Gaza. Raised in a working-class, immigrant household, Melat knows firsthand how hard it is to get by in Denver. She is running for Congress to bring in a new generation of leadership to fight back against an economy rigged for the wealthy and big corporations. She'll pass Medicare-for-All and fight to end Israel's genocide in Gaza and Trump’s war in Iran, and abolish ICE.Voters need to see on the go, read, and see that Diana DeGette is an establishment Democrat who has been in DC for decades, and has taken money from<a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?data_type=processed&amp;committee_id=C00311639&amp;contributor_name=C00083535&amp;contributor_name=C00107771&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2000&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2002&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2004&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2006&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2008&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2010&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2012&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2016&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2018&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2020&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2022&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2024&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2026&amp;line_number=F3-11C"> fossil fuel </a>companies, <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?data_type=processed&amp;committee_id=C00311639&amp;contributor_name=C00109017&amp;contributor_name=C00185124&amp;contributor_name=C00211318&amp;contributor_name=C00224105&amp;contributor_name=C00248716&amp;contributor_name=C00384099&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2026&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2024&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2022&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2020&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2018&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2016&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2012&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2010&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2008&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2006&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2004&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2002&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2000&amp;two_year_transaction_period=1998">ICE contractors</a> and <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?data_type=processed&amp;committee_id=C00311639&amp;contributor_name=AMERISOURCEBERGEN&amp;contributor_name=C00010983&amp;contributor_name=C00016683&amp;contributor_name=C00040279&amp;contributor_name=C00108035&amp;contributor_name=C00251876&amp;contributor_name=C00543371&amp;contributor_name=ELI+LILLY++COMPANY+PAC&amp;contributor_name=MERCK+PAC&amp;contributor_name=SANOFI-AVENTIS+US+INC+EMPLOYEES%27+PAC&amp;contributor_name=ZENECA+AZ+PAC&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2026&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2024&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2022&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2020&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2018&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2016&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2012&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2010&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2008&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2006&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2004&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2002&amp;two_year_transaction_period=2000&amp;two_year_transaction_period=1998">Big Pharma</a>.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Degette’s Biggest Corporate Donors by Industry</h3>Rep. Diana DeGette has held this seat for 30 years. Nearly two-thirds of her campaign money comes from corporate PACs, with Big Pharma and corporate healthcare lobbies making up the bulk of that, while she sits on the very subcommittee that is supposed to regulate the industry. She pretends to support Medicare for All while being bankrolled by the very lobbies trying to stop it from passing. Even the National Nurses United said about her: “To win Medicare for All and finally end corporate control over our health care, candidates and elected officials must refuse to be bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical, hospital, and insurance industries.”She also directly takes tens of thousands of dollars from real estate, big tech, and ICE contractors.&nbsp;
