Socialists win Democratic primaries — 29-year-old Melat Kiros defeats 15-term incumbent

Four insurgent left-wing candidates, including three socialists, have won Democratic congressional primaries over the past two weeks. The latest victor is 29-year-old Melat Kiros, who defeated 15-term incumbent Diana DeGette on Tuesday.
