My name is Dylan Shelby and I am a trans woman from Aurora, Colorado. I have always had a passion for politics and law and recent frustrations with our democratic leadership has inspired me to run for office. I want to change the Democratic Party. My background is in sales and non-profit. I work closely with families and volunteers that are supporting strengthening girls in our community.
  • For too long, career politicians have giving a voice to PACs, not people. Now’s the time to take our voice back with a campaign that is unbought and unafraid.
  • Someone with no political experience and nothing more than a deep interest in politics and law running for Congress is pretty crazy right? Well, it sure beats electing the same old leaders that will stand by and let fascism take over.
  • The oldest representative in Congress was born just 10 days after the World Premiere of Snow White… the original one. Let’s admit it, most voters aren’t 1000 years old, nor do they have $1 million+ in assets; isn’t it time “we the people” truly means We the People?
Transportation, LGBTQ+ rights, Healthcare, Veterans Affairs, Gun Violence
I look up to Taylor Swift. She is a model for civility and empathy.
Strong leadership and the ability to say no and push back on dangerous agendas
To listen to constituents, draft legislation that is meaningful and vote in accordance with my district and what I know to be right
I want to leave a legacy knowing I made a difference in people’s lives. However I do that.
I remember when I was 5, the re-election of George W Bush, our kindergarten glass was taught about voting
I worked at Wendy’s for about a month and then quit because I couldn’t cut working until 2am every night and smelling like grease all the time.
Looking for Alaska. It is a great book about coming of age and coping with death
Naked in Manhattan by Chappell Roan
My gender identity as well as my struggles with autism
It can be beneficial for sure but I don’t think someone without experience can be any less successful. As a matter of fact, someone who has no previous experience can walk in with fresh eyes and fresh ideas
Our greatest challenge as a nation is preserving democracy and the rule of law
Yes. It gives the president 2 separate congresses to work with
I would support congressional term limits but I also feel that age limits are important
There are no winners in congressional compromise. Everyone loses.
The house should use its powers of investigation to find instances of governmental overreach and fraud
Agriculture, Foreign Affairs, Judiciary, Veteran’ Affairs, Space Science and Technology
It is important that voters understand where their tax dollars are going
