About this episode
Melat Kiros discusses her legislative priorities as a new Congress member while CSU transitions to the Pac-12.
Denver's representative in Congress will, very likely, be Melat Kiros. Fresh off her primary upset, the Democratic Socialist goes in-depth on how she'd legislate with a Republican president . Kiros also tells us her recent comments about the Boulder firebombing fell short. Then, CSU starts a new chapter in sports history as it joins the Pac-12. We speak about the change and the opportunities it presents with CSU athletic director John Weber. And, we share Denverite's "race" to Red Rocks with a new option in public transit.
