Democrats Run Against DeGette in Denver Congressional Race
Three super PACs have poured $1.3 million into ads backing Diana DeGette and attacking challenger Melat Kiros, a sign Democrats see the incumbent as vulnerable.
- A trio of PACs dumped $1.3 million into Colorado's 1st Congressional District primary to protect Rep. Diana DeGette from Melat Kiros, a Democratic socialist political newcomer challenging the incumbent.
- DeGette, first elected to Congress in 1996, has never faced such a concerted, well-funded primary challenge, signaling rare vulnerability for the three-decade incumbent against Kiros's insurgent campaign.
- Mile High Accountability Project spent $350,000 on digital ads June 6, Project 218 spent $400,000 Wednesday attacking Kiros, and Pro-Choice Majority Action spent about $460,000 this week supporting DeGette.
- Kiros denied allegations she supports defunding police, withdrawing from NATO, or abolishing the Senate, stating, "Denver voters are going to decide this race, not outside money, not special interests."
- Voters will head to the polls on June 30 as Colorado's 1st Congressional District primary determines whether the PAC spending influences the outcome against Kiros's grassroots challenge.
