  • Genocide: has publicly called Gaza a genocide.

  • Israel aid: calls for a full arms embargo, including defensive systems.

  • Iran war: campaign platform is “End All Wars.”

Reason for CMV Position: This is a full endorsement. Melat Kiros is the only congressional candidate in Colorado who meets every one of CMV’s criteria. She supports Medicare for All, refuses corporate PAC money, recognizes the genocide in Gaza, supports ending military aid to Israel, and opposes the war on Iran.

VOTE RECOMMENDED

Dwayne Romero

  • Medicare for All: Wants preventive and basic care for all, but has not endorsed Medicare for All.

  • Israel aid: Supports aid limited to a defensive posture, including defensive weapons.

  • Iran war: As a Gulf War veteran, opposes the war.

  • Corporate PACs and genocide: no public record found.

Reason for CMV position: This is a strategic vote, not an endorsement. Dwayne Romero does not meet all of CMV’s criteria. We recommend voting for him because the incumbent, Jeff Hurd, supports the war on Iran and opposes limits on military aid to Israel, and because defeating Hurd helps Democrats win control of the U.S. House.

U.S. House District 4 (Eastern Plains/Castle Rock, Parker)

A woman smiling, wearing a green blazer, gold jewelry, and standing outdoors with a wooden background.

VOTE RECOMMENDED

Eileen Laubacher

  • Medicare for All: Opposes it, citing rural hospitals; wants ACA subsidies restored.

  • Israel aid: Says taxpayer-funded aid should end; weapons could still be sold case by case.

  • Iran war: Says the war should never have started while talks were possible.

  • Corporate PACs and genocide: no public record found.

Reason for CMV Position: This is a strategic vote, not an endorsement. Eileen Laubacher does not meet all of CMV’s criteria. We recommend voting for her because the incumbent, Lauren Boebert, fails every one of CMV’s criteria, and because defeating Boebert helps Democrats win control of the U.S. House.

U.S. House District 5 (El Paso County/ Colorado Springs)

VOTE RECOMMENDED

Jessica Killin

  • Medicare for All: Calls for a "full overhaul" of health insurance without naming Medicare for All .

  • Israel aid: Says Israel should not get a blank check.

  • Iran war: Says Trump went to war at Netanyahu's request and Congress must reclaim war powers .

  • Corporate PACs and genocide: no public record found.

Reason for CMV Vote: This is a strategic vote, not an endorsement. Jessica Killin does not meet all of CMV’s criteria. We recommend voting for her because the incumbent, Jeff Crank, supports the war on Iran and opposes limits on military aid to Israel, and because defeating Crank helps Democrats win control of the U.S. House.

  • Corporate PACs: Has accepted money from pro-Israel PACS.

  • Genocide: Has not gone on record to call it a genocide.

  • Israel aid: Voted for the $26 billion Israel aid package in April 2024 and backed Israel’s defense through 2024. Has not signed on to any bill that restricts weapons transfers to Israel.

  • Iran war: Pushed the September war powers resolution and has forced repeated votes.

Reason for CMV Position: This is a protest vote. Rep. Crow is expected to win reelection, so withholding our vote won’t change the outcome, but it does send a message. Rep. Crow has also refused to engage with the Muslim community despite repeated requests made to him directly.

U.S. House District 7 (Golden, Arvada, Lakewood, Broomfield)

Brittany Pettersen (Incumbent)

U.S. House District 8 (Thornton, Brighton, Johnstown, Greeley)

VOTE RECOMMENDED

Manny Rutinel

  • Medicare for All: Backs a public option; he previously supported single payer.

  • Corporate PACs: Tech- and crypto-funded super PACs spent $5.5M backing him in the primary.

  • Genocide: Has not gone on record to call it a genocide.

  • Israel aid: Has stated that he would continue military funding for Israel.

  • Iran war: Has said he would vote for a war powers resolution to end it.

Reason for CMV Position: This is a strategic vote, not an endorsement. Manny Rutinel does not meet all of CMV’s criteria. We recommend voting for him because he opposes the war on Iran, which the incumbent, Gabe Evans, supports. This is one of the closest races in the country, and flipping this seat is critical to Democrats winning control of the U.S. House.
