Melat Kiros

Democratic Nominee for Congressional District 1
“In Denver, we need progressive leaders and fighters for the working class at every level of government, which is why I am proud to endorse Melissa Mejia for City Council at Large. As a single mom, pastry chef, and housing policy expert, Melissa knows how to take care of working people and small businesses alike. With housing instability on the rise, Melissa is prepared to create pathways to home ownership and work toward building a stronger, more affordable for Denver for everyone.”
Senadora Julie Gonzales

District 34
“I am endorsing Melissa Mejía because I have seen her do the work to advance justice for tenants, to ensure fairness for working-class Denverites, and to hold corporations to account. Melissa Mejía is best positioned to continue Hon. Sarah Parady’s legacy on council starting on day one, and I am asking you to join me in supporting her campaign.”
Serena Gonzales Gutierrez

Denver City Councilmember At-Large
"Denver needs leaders who aren’t afraid to stand with working people and fight for communities that too often get left out of the conversation. Melissa Mejía will be that kind of leader. I know she will bring compassion, courage, and a deep commitment to community to City Council, and I’m proud to endorse her."
Representative Javier Mabrey

District 1
“Melissa Mejía knows firsthand what working families in Denver are up against because she’s lived it. As a single mom, Melissa built a career as a chef and baker before going back to school to pursue a career in politics so she could fight to make Denver more affordable for families like hers. We need more leaders who channel their lived experience into effective advocacy- and that’s exactly who Melissa is. She understands the challenges working people face, and she knows how to turn those experiences into action. I’m proud to endorse Melissa for Denver City Council At-Large because I know she’ll bring the courage, compassion, and determination working families deserve to City Hall.”
Tim O’Brien

Denver Auditor
“During my 11 years as Denver Auditor, I've worked with many legislators. Melissa will be among the best of them. She is brilliant, moral, and knows how City government works. She has fresh ideas, cares deeply about public service, and will work tirelessly to improve the lives of Denverites.”
David Seligman

Executive Director of Towards Justice
“I’ve worked alongside Melissa in the Capitol fighting for renters and seen first-hand how’s been able to deliver for working families in Denver. We’d be so fortunate to have someone with Melissa’s experience and commitment on Council.”
Chela Garcia Irlando

Democratic Candidate for State Senate District 34
“Melissa Mejía understands that Denver should work for the people who live here, not the corporations looking to profit off of it. She knows what working families are up against, and she has the courage to fight for a city where people can afford to stay, raise their families, and build a future. We need leaders at every level who are willing to take on corporate power, protect our climate and water, and fight for working people. I’m proud to endorse Melissa because she will bring that fight to City Hall and make sure our city serves our neighbors with dignity.”
