It was an honor to have my mother, a #refugee from #Palestine, and my husband, an #immigrant from #Iraq, with me today as I officially assumed the responsibility of representing #HD41. 1/

State Representative for Colorado HD 41. Ready to work to make the American Dream a reality for ALL. She/Her/Hers
- Starting today, Colorado will no longer tax diapers and menstrual products. HB22-1055 acknowledges the undeniable relief this will have on countless women and families. #copolitics #coleg
- We did it! I ran to make the #AmericanDream a reality for Everyone. I am a proud #Muslim, #PalestinianAmerican, & #firstgeneration American. And I am proud to be able to represent my communities & the people of #hd41 in the #Colorado state legislature! Now, let's get to work.
- “When I speak with my constituents, they are keenly aware of the billions in economic and military aid sent to Israel each year. Imagine if those funds were invested in education, housing and healthcare right here at home.”
- I’m disturbed by @RepBoebert’s anti-Muslim rhetoric. Not only is it a failure of her duties, it causes harm. The actions of our federal delegation affect all of Colorado, and it is imperative she corrects course.
- First official portrait as a Colorado State Representative!
- Thank you @nowthisnews for highlighting this achievement! @MaureeTurnerOK, @MadinahForDE, @Samba_Madison, & @c_benjaminesq - I'd love to get us all on a zoom to chat! Have a feeling we're going to need each other! #LetsGetToWork!Five Muslim American Democrats marked historic firsts in their home states.
- Let’s get to work!Iman Jodeh, a Democrat in Colorado's House District 41, will be the first Muslim state legislator in state history.
- HB24-1337 passed out of committee last night with bipartisan support! This bill ensures that people do not lose their homes due to fines, fees, & exorbitant attorney fees from HOAs. I am honored to have worked on this with a fantastic coalition & Assistant Majority Leader Bacon.
- **HUGE ENDORSEMENT** I am honored to receive an endorsement from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren!! I have always been an admirer of her work, values, and the example she has set for women everywhere. @ewarren #coleg #copoliticsReplying to @ewarren.@ImanforColorado, a first-generation Palestinian-American, has been a dedicated advocate for putting power in the hands of the people and she will be an excellent representative for Aurora families. It’s an honor to endorse her as the next Colorado State Representative for HD41.
- I'm a Palestinian, I'm very proud of my heritage. But it's not lost upon me that people conflate the millions of Palestinian people with Hamas. That's very hurtful and very hard to combat.
- The attempt to displace people from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem based on their ethnicity is wrong & violates international human rights laws. All people, regardless of their race or religion, deserve to live with dignity & security. Full stmt below.
- One of the best feelings in the world is to honor your parents’ sacrifices. “Her mother, Siham, is proud.” “It’s just an amazing, amazing feeling,” Siham Jodeh said of hearing the results. “It’s indescribable. Thank God for everything.”
- Replying to @ImanforColoradoBesides our #indigenous peoples, we are a #nation of #immigrants. My family is a family of immigrants. Like SO MANY, my parents and my husband came here for a better life - to realize the #AmericanDream. 2/
