ALT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS ENDORSES MELAT KIROS FOR CONGRESS IN COLORADO'S 1ST DISTRICT Grassroots progressive challenger earns endorsement of nation's leading anti-corruption voice as CO-01 race heats up DENVER, CO — Today, Melat Kiros, the progressive challenger running to unseat 30-year incumbent Diana DeGette in Colorado's 1st Congressional District, announced the endorsement of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). "Melat Kiros is exactly the kind of bold leader we need in Congress. She has shown she is not afraid to stand up to corrupt special interests like AIPAC and Big Pharma," said Senator Sanders. "Melat was raised in a working-class immigrant household, and she knows that the current political and economic systems are broken and need bold reform. That's why she has refused corporate PAC donations and will be a great ally in fighting for a progressive agenda that addresses the needs of working families. I'm excited to endorse Melat Kiros for Congress."

ALT “The situation unfolding in Iran is serious and consequential for American national security and stability in the region. Iran’s regime has spent decades sponsoring terrorism, threatening our allies, and putting American lives at risk. A nuclear-armed Iran is not acceptable, and the United States must remain strong, clear-eyed, and prepared to act in defense of our interests. At the same time, actions of this magnitude carry real consequences. The use of American power demands clarity of purpose, discipline, and a defined objective. Congress must also be informed and engaged consistent with its responsibilities under Article I of the Constitution. My focus is on the safety of our service members, the security of our allies, and ensuring that any action taken advances long-term stability.” -Jeff Hurd

ALT Congressman Evans’ spokeswoman: “The current use-of-force policy under which ICE is operating was established during the Biden Administration under Secretary Mayorkas. Any evaluation of the events in Minneapolis must be grounded in facts, including whether that policy was followed. All fatal uses of force undergo extensive internal and court reviews to determine compliance with law, policy, and ethics. Congressman Evans supports a thorough investigation, and will work alongside his colleagues to ensure Congressional oversight of our brave law enforcement officers as they perform a dangerous job, and the safety of the communities they protect.”
