Rep. Yara Zokaie
@repyara.bsky.social
State Representative for HD-52 in Fort Collins
Mom to three little boys
First Iranian-American state legislator in Colorado
Co-Founder of the Middle Eastern, North African, South Asian (MENASA) & Muslim Caucus
Colorado needs leadership that puts working people first, holds powerful interests accountable, and builds a State that is affordable for everyone.

I look forward to working with our next Governor, Michael Bennet, to deliver this vision for every Coloradan.

I decided to run for office because as a daughter of immigrants, a woman of color, and an Iranian-American, our communities were missing a seat at the table.

Thank you to the IABA for recognizing my work with the Trailblazer Award. I look forward to continuing our work for our communities together.

This past week’s blue wave is a mandate for a fair tax code, protecting civil and constitutional rights, and ensuring every person can afford basic needs like housing and food.

Republicans are taking food out of the mouths of hungry children. It is cruel - there’s no other way to put it.

Go to feedingamerica.com to find resources if you need food or to donate to your local food bank. I will be giving to foodbanklarimer.org and hope you will join me.

If Republicans really want to reduce crime, they should start by supporting the proven solutions that make our communities safer.

Republicans have shut down our government to redistribute the hard-earned money of working people into the pockets of billionaires. The $300 million of cuts CSU is facing are an authoritarian attack on higher education and a way for the GOP to pump even more cash into ICE’s cruelty.

Republicans are once again putting women at risk of violence.

Instead of cooling down our dangerous political climate, they’re tossing gasoline on the fire.

We all have to call out this dangerous behavior.

Its not so easy to ask for money 😅 .. but we need all the help we can get to elect champions that will:

✅️ fight for workers
✅️ stand up to big tech companies
✅️ make sure the ultra wealthy pay their fair share

Help us build a better Colorado at tiny.cc/yarafund

Happy Labor Day everyone! Special Session is finally over and while we were fixing the budget Republicans broke, Republican Former Representative Ryan Armagost has gone to the birds! 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Former Representative Armagost kicked off an online harassment campaign against me and my family which was enabled by Republican leadership. I’m speaking out because this type of workplace misconduct keeps women, people of color, and other vulnerable communities out of politics.

Our tax code is set up to benefit the ultra-rich and giant corporations. I’m using my understanding of our rigged system to fight for a tax policy that benefits working people, not just the 1%.
August 25, 2025 at 8:28 PM
Won't someone think of the poor multinational corporations! 🤧

As a tax attorney, I was trained to find corporations tax loopholes.

I was shocked to learn just how our tax system is rigged for the wealthy and well connected.

Republicans are shuttering rural hospitals and throwing countless Coloradans off Medicaid, while enabling their billionaire funders to conceal wealth in offshore accounts.

I’m proud to introduce HB25B-1002, which cracks down on tax havens and funds the programs that Coloradans rely on to survive.
August 22, 2025 at 8:45 PM
We should not be talking about giving the ultra-rich a massive discount while working people pay taxes on every dollar they earn. HB25B-1001 is about fairness, which means ensuring that our tax code isn’t putting the burden on those who are already struggling.
August 22, 2025 at 5:47 PM
The Democrats are laser focused this session - because we know every dollar we save by closing corporate tax loopholes is another dollar for education, for health care, for food assistance, for the essential services that Coloradans rely on.

We’re stepping up to solve this crisis responsibly.
August 21, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Heading back to the Capitol tomorrow to close corporate tax loopholes and do everything in my power to protect Coloradans from Trump's bill.

Republicans want to continue to take from everyday families to pad the pockets of billionaires. It is shameful.
