COLORADO SPRINGS, CO Today, Jessica Killin’s campaign for Colorado’s 5th Congressional District launched its seventh general election TV ad, “Lies.” The ad is part of a significant paid media strategy from Killin that will air across El Paso County. 

“Lies” responds to lies being spread by a Trump Super PAC about Jessica Killin to protect Jeff Crank, who voted with Trump 100% of the time. Killin supports a local moratorium on data centers to assess the potential dangers of AI, prevent higher utility costs, and protect our water. 

Meanwhile, Crank has taken over $100,000 from lobbyists and special interests who’d profit from more data centers, including donors with ties to the Project Taurus data center proposal here in Colorado Springs. He voted to give $70 billion in special tax breaks to data center operators and voted to prevent states from reigning in data centers, AI, and the big tech companies.

Fourth-generation Coloradan and Army Veteran Jessica Killin said, “El Paso County needs a leader they can trust on data centers – Jeff Crank has proven he sides with Trump and big tech over his constituents. Local communities should decide if data centers are put in their backyards, and I support a moratorium/pause on data centers. I will fight to protect El Paso County from data centers raising our utility costs and using up our water.”

“Lies” transcript:

Donald Trump is spreading lies about Jessica Killin. 

To protect one of his most obedient lackeys… Jeff Crank

Here’s the truth.

Jessica Killin supports a local moratorium on data centers to protect our water and utility bills. 

Jeff Crank? 

He took $100,000 from data center developers and big tech. 

Then voted for seventy billion in special tax breaks for data centers 

And to restrict communities like ours from regulating data centers. 

I’m Jessica Killin, and I approve this message.
