COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – EMILYs List endorsed Jessica Killin for Colorado’s Fifth Congressional District. EMILYs List is the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, and their support is a significant indication from Washington, D.C. about the competitiveness of this seat and how Jessica is the right candidate to win.

“Jessica Killin is a veteran, a former Army paratrooper and captain, who has spent her career serving the American people and protecting fellow veterans. Now, she is ready to take her fight to Congress to be an independent voice, lower costs for Colorado’s working families, expand affordable health care, and make government work again. Jessica has the tenacity and experience to take on the chaos coming out of Washington, and we are proud to stand with her to defeat Republican Rep. Jeff Crank, a do-nothing Congressman who always puts party politics over Colorado,” said EMILYs List president Jessica Mackler.

Fourth-generation Coloradan and Army Veteran Jessica Killin said, “I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of EMILYs List. This organization is the nationwide engine for change that helps Democratic women win tough races. EMILYs List recognizes what I have seen in El Paso County: Jeff Crank has let our community down – increasing prices, covering up the Epstein files, slashing healthcare for Coloradans, and adding nearly $4 trillion to the debt. It’s time for new leadership, and with their support, we will flip this district to provide El Paso County with the representation it deserves.”
