What the Guides Said
YIMBY Action✓ EndorsesAbout Iman Jodeh
My parents, Mohamad and Siham, came to Colorado from Palestine in 1974 as refugees and immigrants, carrying little more than hope and a dream for safety, freedom, and a better life. They were chasing what so many before them had sought: the promise of the American Dream, and they found it.
For 50 years, they poured everything they had into their community, building small businesses, raising four kids, and anchoring a life grounded in community service and purpose. They gave without asking. They worked without rest. And they never lost sight of the opportunity they had been given.
I’m in awe of what they built. From nothing, they gave my siblings and me everything: stability, belonging, and the chance to grow up with pride in both our Palestinian heritage and where we are now. In Aurora, I was shaped by our public schools, Ponderosa, Prairie, and Overland, where I learned, played, and dreamed like any other Colorado kid. We played sports, explored the mountains, and cheered on the Broncos every Sunday.

Iman Jodeh on Housing and Abundance
“Guided by the belief that housing is a human right, not a commodity, I am proud to champion legislation that keeps people in their homes, curbs predatory behavior, and builds pathways toward long-term affordability and dignity for every Coloradan.”
“Housing is a top policy priority for me because safe, stable, and affordable housing is the foundation of thriving communities.”
“As the cost of living rises and too many families are priced out, displaced, or burdened by unfair practices, I am committed to protecting both renters and homeowners.”
