I sat down with Alex Kelloff, who is running for Congress in Colorado’s 3rd District, to talk about what representation is supposed to look like.

We covered the district itself, rural economic realities, infrastructure investment, job creation, and something I think matters more than almost anything right now: Congress reclaiming its authority as a co-equal branch of government.

For too long, Congress has surrendered its power to the executive branch. That has consequences for accountability, for budgets, for war powers, and for everyday Americans who deserve legislators who actually legislate.

This conversation wasn’t about buzzwords. It was about responsibility.

If you care about the role of Congress, the future of rural communities, and what serious governance looks like, I think you’ll find this one worth your time.
