Neal Walia: Why Representation Matters for Congressional District One
Representation matters. Our lived experiences; our history, and our neighborhoods shape our understanding of our needs and priorities as a community. In the history of our state, a person of color has never represented our district in our nation’s capital. The systems of white supremacy that have isolated our district to experiencing a singular demographic of representation are generating dire consequences for the working class and BIPOC communities residing in our district. Denverites are currently feeling the full weight of the American economy, not to mention the repercussions of a sitting incumbent who is rarely present and disconnected from the struggles of her constituents. The need for change is urgent. And for the first time in a long time, we have a real opportunity to do that this year in the June 28th Democratic Primary.
