“Rep. Diana DeGette avoided a campaign disaster, securing enough delegates on Friday night to place her on the ballot for the Democratic primary election for the 1st Congressional District.

However, DeGette was dramatically outperformed at the party meeting by one of her challengers, Melat Kiros, a Democratic Socialist. After winning strong support among party members, Kiros will appear first on the ballot in the June primary.”
