COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – With today’s announcement that Space Command will move from Colorado Springs, Jessica Killin, an Army veteran and candidate for Colorado’s Fifth Congressional District, released the following statement:

“Jeff Crank has utterly failed to fight for Colorado. He refused to fight for Coloradans' healthcare, he refused to fight against higher prices, and now he's refused to protect Space Command and our economy.

“This is a massive loss for El Paso County and is damaging to our national security. Since the moment he was elected, Jeff Crank has put pleasing Donald Trump ahead of serving this community, and the people of El Paso County are paying the price.”
