that DeGette takes in mega - contributions from unpopular pacs like AIPAC. I live in Joe Neguse’s district but I’ve given money to Kiros because I think District 1 needs new, aggressive, progressive representation. People say that Kiros, as a newbie, won’t have the political power that DeGette has, but Joe Neguse has risen quickly in the Democratic Party in Congress, and I think Kiros can too.
