## Resource

Jessica Killin, a decorated Army veteran running against Joe Reagan in Colorado’s Congressional District 5, made a powerful connection with El Paso County veterans during a visit to the Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, joined by Senator Michael Bennet and Rep. Jason Crow. Drawing on her own military experience as a paratrooper and MP, Killin laid out a bold agenda: modernizing the VA’s outdated disability system, slashing mental health appointment delays, and expanding life-saving programs like Next Chapter to fight veteran suicide. She also targeted incumbent Jeff Crank, calling him vulnerable on key issues—from keeping Space Command in Colorado Springs to tackling tariffs and de-escalating Iran tensions. With a campaign fueled by door-knocking and phone banking, Killin is positioning herself as the candidate veterans can trust to deliver real change.
