Emily Sirota is the incumbent for House District 9. She was first elected to the statehouse in 2018, and has been described by former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb as a “progressive with strong roots in her community and deep experience in government, social work, and education.” Before joining the legislature, she helped run an early learning center and worked for the Colorado Progressive Coalition, where she organized support for paid sick leave policy.
Sirota is known for her progressive stance on Colorado’s conservative and inequitable tax code, as she championed state funding for the Child Tax Credit and increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit. She helped pass universal pre-k, gave relief to working families, mandated the teaching of the Holocaust and genocide in public schools, and had Colorado join the National Popular Vote Compact. Sirota also carried a bill for a task force to analyze how much money Colorado could save by going to a health-care-for-all system.
Sirota is the clear progressive choice.Emily Sirota
