Army Veteran Jessica Killin brings in over $2.1 million in Q3

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – In the third quarter of the election year, fourth-generation Coloradan and Army veteran Jessica Killin had her strongest quarter in her campaign to flip CO-05, bringing in over $2.1 million across her campaign committees. She raised over $1.8 million into her campaign committee and over $350,000 for her Victory Fund. She has raised more than $5.2 million across her committees through the election cycle so far, the most raised in the district ever.

Killin has established herself as one of the strongest fundraisers in the country among competitive congressional challengers, outraising Jeff Crank in every fundraising quarter since entering the race. Crank has not yet released his third-quarter fundraising numbers. 

Cook Political, Inside Elections, Sabato’s Crystal Ball, Fox News, and Nate Silver’s FLIPR have upgraded CO-05 toward Killin in recent weeks, rating it as one of the country's most competitive races. Nate Silver rates CO-05 a toss-up race and one of the fifteen closest races in the country. 

Killin has built significant local grassroots momentum with over 2,500 donors in El Paso County, and over 5,600 donors in Colorado. The campaign’s median donation is $15. As a sign of her commitment to flipping CO-05 in 2026, Killin personally invested $125,000 into the campaign this quarter. 

Fourth-generation Coloradan and Army Veteran Jessica Killin said, “People across El Paso County keep telling me the same thing: they are struggling, they need support, and Jeff Crank has failed them. They’re ready for change and real leadership. I will always show up, listen, and work tirelessly and relentlessly to lower costs, fight corruption, and deliver results that El Paso County deserves.”
