Who is my U.S. representative in CO-01?

Captured 2026-07-15 01:26:38 UTC Model Claude Source page
Right now, Colorado's 1st District (Denver) is still represented by Diana DeGette, who has held the seat since 1997.

But that's about to change: Melat Kiros, a democratic socialist and first-time candidate, unseated DeGette in Colorado's Democratic primary on June 30, 2026. The general election is scheduled for November 3, 2026, and CO-01 is the most Democratic district in both Colorado and the Mountain West, with Republican Christy Peterson unopposed for the GOP nomination — so Kiros is heavily favored to win in November and become your next representative.

So: DeGette is your current rep through the end of this term, but Kiros will almost certainly be your representative starting January 2027.

While the response correctly identifies Diana DeGette as the current representative, it fabricates specific and unsupported facts about a 2026 primary loss to a fictional candidate 'Melat Kiros' and other election details not supported by the ground truth.
