COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – US Army veteran and fourth-generation Coloradan Jessica Killin raised twice as much in the third quarter as incumbent Republican Congressman Jeff Crank. Killin raised over $1,039,000 while Crank raised $502,000. 

The majority of Jessica’s donors are from Colorado. This demonstrates impressive momentum and a groundswell of local grassroots support. Killin raised this amount without self-funding and accepts no corporate PAC money.

This is the largest quarterly fundraising haul that any candidate for Colorado’s 5th Congressional District has ever reported. Killin’s strong first quarter in the race positions her well to defeat Republican Jeff Crank in the fastest Democratic-trending district in the country. 

A proud fourth-generation Coloradan and Army veteran, Jessica Killin said, 

“El Paso County needs new leadership that is responsive to the needs of this community: Jeff Crank has failed to do that. He lost Space Command, added $4 trillion to the national debt, and continues to put partisanship over the people of the Pikes Peak region. I'm so grateful for this support that will help us flip Colorado’s 5th district together and restore competence, courage, and character to Washington.”
