Jessica Killin wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Colorado's 5th Congressional District
Killin, an Army veteran and first-time candidate, will face Rep. Jeff Crank after Democrats added the district to their top battleground list.
- On Tuesday, Jessica Killin, an Army veteran and former chief of staff to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, won the Democratic primary in Colorado's 5th Congressional District, defeating Joe Reagan by 26 percentage points.
- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added the 5th District to its 'districts in play' list in February, placing Killin in its red-to-blue program as El Paso County trends leftward.
- Killin led Reagan with 63% to 37% based on early returns and has amassed about $1.4 million in the bank as of June 10, leveraging her national political network.
- She advances to the November general election against Republican U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank, who ran unopposed for the nomination; national Democrats reserved TV ad time in the Colorado Springs market.
- Killin attempts to become the first Democrat to represent the 5th District in five decades, as El Paso County margins have shrunk from 31 percentage points in 2016 to 14 in 2024.
