The American Small Business League spoke with Alex Kelloff, running for Congress as a Democrat in Colorado District-3.

Priorities

“We need elected representation in Washington that fights for the values and interests of communities like those in CD3 and the rural west, not those of the coastal elites, special interests or the unaccountable billionaire class. That is why I have built a grassroots effort over the last year. A campaign that is supported by and for the people, which is why I am not taking any corporate PAC money.” [Emphasis added.]

Lowering the Cost of Living and Supporting Local Economies

Expanding Access to Affordable Healthcare

Protecting Public Lands, Water, and the Environment

Restoring the Rule of Law

Holding Government Accountable

Reducing the Federal Debt and Strengthening the Economy

Protecting the Right to Vote

Getting Money Out of Politics

And more…

About Alex

“Early in his career, Alex worked with the U.S. government as an IT and network specialist … holding a Top Secret clearance while embedded [as a civilian] with the United States Marine Corps at the Pentagon and Quantico. … he earned a masters [of Science in Telecommunications] at night and on the weekends from Johns Hopkins University, where he graduated with a perfect grade point average … he pivoted to … working for telecoms firms globally. This experience led him to business school (MBA) … [Then] Alex spent 14 years at Jefferies, leading $20B+ of transactions in the telecoms industry [which] supported many early-stage companies, which [built] critical infrastructure. He went on to help start SDC Capital Partners, where he played a key role in starting and operating companies to develop Internet infrastructure. These companies have created thousands of good jobs (often trades and union jobs) and are working to close the digital divide in places like CD3.”

We also discussed our small business concerns.

The American Small Business League (www.ASBL.com) wants Congress to stop big businesses from getting small business contracts. (Small businesses would create many, maybe millions, of jobs with those contracts and the economy would boom.)

Our www.DontCheatWomen.com project wants Congress to: Raise from 5% to 15% the federal contract dollars that must go to women-owned small businesses. Women own 40% of American businesses and sell what the government buys – but companies owned by men get over 95% of federal contract dollars, and that must change.

We also want people to contact Congress and the Senate to oppose a bill that would wipe out the federal contracting goals for minority and Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs). If passed it would hurt thousands of businesses, deprive the economy of hundreds of thousands of new jobs, decrease competition, weaken the federal supply chain, and steer probably 100% of federal contracting dollars to companies owned by men. See what you can do in our May 14, 2026, Substack called, Save Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Small Businesses.
