决策桌总部（Decision Desk HQ）预测，民主社会主义者成员梅拉特·基罗斯将赢得代表科罗拉多州第1选区的选举。
Kiros wins Colorado House seat after ousting DeGette in primary Melat Kiros, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is projected to win the race to represent Colorado’s 1st District, according to Decision Desk HQ.
基罗斯29岁，击败了共和党候选人克里斯蒂·彼得森、自由党候选人查德·汉弗莱、统一党候选人“小动物”米尔顿以及独立候选人西蒙·布劳。她的胜利反映了今年竞选国会议席的更年轻、更进步的民主党人所掀起的更广泛浪潮，他们希望在党内开创新一代领导层。决策桌总部在周二东部标准时间晚上9点预测了该选举结果。
Kiros, 29, defeated Republican Christy Peterson, Libertarian Chad Humphrey, Critter Milton of the Unity Party and Independent candidate Shimon Blau. Her victory reflects a broader wave of younger, progressive Democrats who launched congressional bids this year, seeking to usher in a new generation of leadership within the party. DDHQ projected the race at 9 p.m. EST Tuesday.
基罗斯是科罗拉多大学丹佛分校公共事务学院的博士生，今年夏天在民主党初选中击败了连任15届的现任众议员戴安娜·德盖特（科罗拉多州）后迅速崭露头角。
Kiros is a Ph.D. student at the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs who quickly rose to prominence after she defeated 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette (Colo.) in the Democratic primary this summer.
她获得了包括参议员伯尼·桑德斯（佛蒙特州，无党籍）、公民联合反对组织和正义民主党在内的多位知名进步人物和团体的支持。基罗斯于2022年获得圣母大学法学学位。
She received the backing of several high-profile progressive figures and groups, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), End Citizens United and Justice Democrats. Kiros received a law degree from the University of Notre Dame in 2022.
2023年，她因在自己的Substack上撰写一封致美国律师事务所的信，质疑呼吁“消灭以色列国家”即构成反犹太主义的观点，并拒绝删除该信，而被律师事务所西德利·奥斯汀解雇。
She was fired from the law firm Sidley Austin in 2023 after she wrote a letter directed at U.S. law firms on her Substack in which she disputed the notion that it was antisemitic to call “for the elimination of the Israeli state.”She refused to take down the letter.
基罗斯的纲领包括“全民医保”、普及托儿和老年护理以及废除移民与海关执法局。她的竞选网站表示，她还支持对净资产超过5000万美元的人征收超级富豪税。
Kiros’s platform includes “Medicare for All,” universal childcare and eldercare and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Her campaign website says that she also supports an ultramillionaire tax on people with a net worth of more than $50 million.
