At the House District 6 annual picnic this past Saturday. Got this lovely picture with Donna Smith - one of the great progressive activists in the district fighting for single-payer, universal health care. Thankful for all the work the HD6 democrats are doing to make sure Colorado remains deep blue!

HD6 and Colorado - Here with Kyle Giddings, Deputy Director at the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, asking you to "Vote No" on Prop 132 this Nov. and make sure all your friends do too! This measure is harmful to our communities and a cash cow for the prison industry. Get out the vote!

Thank you, Rep. Joe Neguse for endorsing my campaign for House District 6 and for supporting my work for civil rights throughout the years.✊ Both federal and state legislation are critical in the ongoing fight for our rights, and I’m excited to work together to protect the futures of all Coloradans.

Honored to have earned the endorsement of One Colorado. I served on the board of OC for seven years and know just how hard the organization fights for LGBTQ+ Coloradans and their families. Now our trans neighbors are under attack. Vote "NO" on Propositions 134 and 135 to protect our trans kids.

I am running for HD6 because Colorado needs to take climate change and global warming seriously and my community cares... iris4colorado.org.

Our bodies, our choice. Colorado has been at the forefront of the nation in protecting bodily autonomy and reproductive agency, and that is why I am so proud to have recieved the endorsement of Planned Parenthood who has been leading the fight every step of the way.

It was so energizing seeing all of our Democratic party nominees, elected officials, and hard-working volunteers at the Denver Dems picnic today! While the other side is running vanity candidates who claim to have killled people, we have serious folks ready to fight for change. Happy Summer Denver!

House District 6! The final results are in, and my opponent has conceded. Immense gratitude to every delegate, donor, volunteer, friend, family member, staff member, endorser, and fellow candidate who made this win possible. This race was about proving that community can overcome corporate greed.

I have recieved so much support from my family during this campaign. As we count down to Tuesday, my brother Tal deserves a special shoutout for creating so much of the artwork that makes our campaign unique. He’s always supported me and watched over me, even when we were kids. Thank you Tal! 💙 Iris

Note: Not only should there not be trillionaires in the world (or billionaires), we shouldn't have a legal system that creates trillionaires (and billionaires) but then justifies itself as being inevitable and good for us all.

It's kind of a surreal, delightful, and meaningful experience to see my own name on the ballot. Had to break out the wine and do a cheers! This is the final sprint. Ballots have to be in no later 7 on June 30. I would be honored to serve all of you as your next, trully progressive, representative.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Very honored to have the endorsement of Senadora Julie Gonzales. I was a proud delegate to get her on the ballot at state assembly, because I experienced her grit, heart, and intelligence firsthand at the State Capitol. 🏛️ Next up: U.S. Capitol! Thank you for your vote of confidence in our campaign.✊

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Dark money will not win this race for state House District 6. Please, donate even if it's just a few dollars at iris4colorado.org. I am facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in spending against me, but we're winning and getting the message out.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

How cool…primary month is also Pride month! As an out and proud defender of LGBTQ+ rights (and 2024 Colo. LGBTQ Bar Attorney of the Year), I have spent my career fighting discrimination. My campaign is endorsed by LGBTQ+ Victory Fund because I will do the same thing when I’m elected to HD6. 🌈❤️💛💚💙💜🏳️‍🌈✊

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Exciting news: @our-revolution.bsky.social, the grassroots organization founded by U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders himself, just endorsed our campaign for House District 6! What an immense honor from an organization that fights every day to get 𝒐𝙡𝒊𝙜𝒂𝙧𝒄𝙝𝒔 and their 𝒅𝙞𝒓𝙩𝒚 𝒎𝙤𝒏𝙚𝒚 out of politics.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

A dark money group named "Denver Progressives United" just dumped tons of money into my race to air ads full of false accusations and lies about the only real progressive in this race - me. Voters deserve better than conservative groups that try to buy elections. secure.actblue.com/donate/iris-...

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

HD6 stretches all the way from the Capitol to Lowry. Here I am at visiting Wings Over the Rockies. We have a lot of great resources in our district, but even more importantly, we have a lot of great people. I would be honored to serve the people of this district as your next state rep.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

How do we cut down on crime and keep our communities safe? One major way is to pass gun safety and control laws. I'm proud to be endorsed by Colorado Ceasefire PAC, the longest-running grassroots gun violence organization in the state of Colorado.

Hey House District 6! I am going to be at Fiction Beer Company this Sunday, May 24th, from 3-5 pm to answer voters questions. So grab a beer, support a local Colfax business, and come on by! Iris4Colorado.org.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

This endorsement for my race in HD6 is especially meaningful to me. I worked for SEIU as an organizer for years, fighting corporate greed and supporting workers who just wanted fair wages, benefits, and safe working conditions. Thank you SEIU members for entrusting me with continuing this fight.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Both proud and horrified to be living in one of the few states in the U.S. where abortion is constitutionally protected. Thank you Colorado BlueFlower Fund for endorsing me in my race for HD6 and entrusting me to keep fighting for women's bodily autonomy and reproductive rights in this state.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Honored to recieve the endorsement of the CEA in my race for HD6. We entrust our teachers with our most valuable resource- the education of our children. I couldn't be more touched that CEA members have put their faith in me to fight for our public schools, educators, and students. Iris4Colorado.org

It's International Workers' Day! But despite record levels of wealth in this country, workers are being left behind. We need different voices at the table - the voices of workers, unions, and other advocacy organizations - not more Elon Musks. That's why I am running for HD6. Iris4Colorado.org.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

I have until midnight to show my campaign for HD6 is on a winning path before I have to file my first disclosures. I don't have large corporate PACs or dark money support. I only have you. Please pitch in. I am the candidate supported by workers and progressives. secure.actblue.com/donate/iris-...

It's Earth Day, but we are not doing nearly enough to create a sustainable future. Big Polluters rake in record profits while our communities shoulder the costs. I support creating a Climate Superfund in Colorado. One more reason I am running for CO HD6. Iris4colorado.org.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Grateful for the endorsement of Colorado WINS and the hardworking public employees it represents for backing my run for CO House District 6. This campaign is about workers like you, not the mega wealthy. Together, we'll fight for the workers who make Colorado great. Iris4colorado.org.

Iris Halpern @irishalpern.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

The Colorado AFL-CIO just endorsed my campaign for HD6! This endorsement is especially meaningful because I’ve spent my entire career fighting for workers’ rights. Thank you to every worker and AFL-CIO member who recognizes how important this race is, and trusts me to fight for them at the Capitol.
