Melat Kiros, a 28-year-old first-time candidate and daughter of Ethiopian immigrants, soundly defeated 15-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette in a delegate preference poll conducted Saturday at a county party assembly in Denver. A former corporate attorney, Kiros received nearly twice as many votes as DeGette in the poll, signaling strong grassroots support ahead of this year’s primary.
