Melat Kiros has won the Democratic primary for the U.S. House in her Denver-area district, according to an AP race call. Above, Kiros stands near the Colorado State Capitol on March 17, 2026.

Kiros, a political newcomer, topped 15-term-incumbent Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, a reliably blue House seat.
