Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Alex is a fourth-generation Coloradan and businessman who believes in rolling up his sleeves, leading from the front, and standing up for the people of Colorado’s 3rd District (CD3). His family’s roots in CD3 date back to 1893, when his family immigrated to Trinidad, CO. For generations, the Kelloff family established themselves in Southern Colorado running small businesses, contributing to their communities, and raising their families with a deep respect for integrity, responsibility, and service. Alex has been a lifelong outdoorsman. His family roots, upbringing, education and professional experience shaped his values and his

call to service. His father taught him to “do well, so that he could do good.” Running for public office was never a plan but after Trump was reelected in 2024, he knew it was time to get involved, step back from his business career in the telecoms industry and “do good.” He began his campaign in April 2025, ~18 months before the midterms because he wanted to learn from, and listen to, the constituents of the district. He has been to all 27 counties of CD3, met with tens of thousands of constituents, raised over $1 million into the campaign, and held over 140 events. Alex is running for Congress because he believes CD3 deserves leadership that shows up, listens, and fights for what matters: good jobs, a lower cost of living, universal healthcare, accessible education, protection of our public lands and water, and the restoration of the American Dream.
