The Issues

National Election

In the 2026 election, Colorado voters will choose one U.S. Senator and all eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

These officials serve in Congress, where they vote on federal spending, foreign aid, and major national policy decisions. That includes decisions about U.S. funding for Israel and broader policy related to the genocide in Gaza.

Because members of Congress directly influence how U.S. money is allocated and what positions the country takes internationally, these elections are of utmost importance and will determine who will represent Colorado on issues that affect both domestic priorities and global conflicts.

Local Election

In May 2024, as the genocide in Gaza persisted, many elected leaders were asked to sign a letter calling for a cease-fire. While some showed their support, many of those in positions of power – elected with significant backing from the Muslim community – chose not to.

This election, the Muslim community will hold these leaders accountable for their failure to advocate for a cease-fire and for turning a blind eye to the suffering of Palestinians.True leadership is not defined by convenience, but by the willingness to make difficult decisions when justice demands it. The strength of those in power is tested when they are faced with hard choices – when doing the right thing requires courage, sometimes at the risk of political backlash. Sadly, many of those who benefitted from our support failed that test.

We will not allow our voices to be ignored or our votes to be taken for granted. The Muslim vote will no longer be a given for those who don’t stand with us in our fight for dignity and human rights, both at home and abroad. This election, the Muslim community will vote against those who failed us and in doing so will make sure our voices are heard at the ballot box.
