Two things are clear:
The current system isn’t working for anyone.
Crank’s “Big Beautiful Bill” has made healthcare more expensive and less patient-focused.
I’m looking forward to having more roundtables and conversations and learning from your concerns and ideas — that is what representation is.
Thanks to everyone who came out for our healthcare roundtable this weekend. We had a thoughtful discussion focused on the impact of public policy on patients, providers, administrators, and others in the healthcare system.
This community deserves someone who actually shows up, will engage with the community and fight for us in Washington, and I’m ready for that.

Happy Furry Friend Friday! Bix is a sweetheart who is looking forward to some rain today (🤞) and having a new representative in Congress with competence, courage, and character.
Would you like a scarf for your pets? Comment and Team Killin will reach out!
The people of El Paso County are tired of hyperpartisanship and political games. That is why I’m proud to receive the endorsement of the New Dems Action Fund.
I look forward to working with them to develop meaningful solutions to the cost-of-living crisis impacting our community and our country.
Jeff Crank has failed to stand up for El Paso County on gas prices, health care costs, and public lands, and has even failed to hold an in-person town hall. Our campaign’s momentum reflects a community that is ready for change and a representative who leads with competence, courage, and character.
Today is Tax Day, and the #2 line item that our taxpayer dollars go to is interest on the debt. Thanks to Jeff Crank, who voted to add $4.7 trillion to the debt, this is only getting worse. We need to restore fiscal sanity to Congress.
Weekend Roundup: 2 Days, 4 house parties, tons of great questions, and countless conversations about the issues that are impacting the Pikes Peak Region and our nation. Side note—I fractured my wrist from a random fall in a parking lot (not from shaking too many hands 🤣).
People here in El Paso County are hurting and just trying to get by. Trump's and Crank's actions (and inactions) are only making things worse. This is yet another broken promise. We deserve a representative who listens to us and stands up for us.
Congress should be held to the highest ethical standards and be focused on public service. I deeply admire the courage of those who have come forward and shared their experiences to bring justice. All of these members should either resign or be expelled. Enough.
We have four members of Congress who have engaged in behavior that is completely unacceptable and unbecoming of the office. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D), Tony Gonzales (R), Cory Mills (R), and Eric Swalwell (D) are all facing serious allegations that require accountability.
I just watched the Artemis II splash down! What an amazing feat. I have to shout out my cousin, Eric Coffman (fellow CO native and School of the Mines grad who was the Propulsion System Sr Manager for Orion —he crushed it!). Can’t wait for the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs next week!
Meet Dora Isabella Maria. Her family says she is a sassy, smart girl — which is why she is all in for Jessica! Happy Furry Friend Friday!
Last Saturday, we had two great house parties in Gold Hill and Southeast Colorado Springs. Thank you so much to Kimberly Gold and Sam Stephensen for bringing in their friends, family, and neighbors to engage in this critical election.
The President of the United States threatening to end an entire civilization is dangerous, irresponsible, and completely immoral.
We need Members of Congress who will have the courage, character, and competence to put it in check and uphold our core American values and laws.
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Tenacity: Women in Conservation event. One key quote that stuck with me: “The antidote to anxiety is action.” I will always stand up to protect our public lands here in Colorado, unlike Jeff Crank, who voted to sell them off.
Happy Easter! Feeling grateful to spend the day with my family. Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful spring day here in Colorado!
Happy Furry Friend Friday! Bruin told his family that he doesn’t like the direction the country is going in, and if he had opposable thumbs, he’d be supporting and voting for “Killin for Colorado.“
It has been a year since Trump’s disastrous “Liberation Day,” and his tariffs are expected to cost every American household an average of $2500 this year. Jeff Crank has voted again and again to protect them, leaving Americans to bear the consequences.

The energy and momentum of this campaign reflect that El Paso County is fed up with Jeff Crank’s lack of leadership and is ready for a representative who will stand up to the chaos of this administration and deliver real results for our community.
Jeff Crank announces his first ever in person Town Hall!
April Fools—he’s not doing anything new, of course
Happy Passover – Chag Pesach Sameach – to all those who celebrate. Wishing freedom, peace, and prosperity for all people as we remember that even in the darkest times, hope endures.
We are putting our troops' lives at risk and spending billions on a war without a strategic plan, while so many are struggling here at home.
We should be taking care of our people, keeping our promises to those who serve, and investing in our communities in the US, not conflicts abroad.
House Republicans are floating cuts to health care that could kick 300,000 Americans off their health insurance just to help pay for the Iran war. That’s not fiscal responsibility, that’s cruel. www.axios.com/2026/03/30/g...
The local IBEW Blue Collar Breakfast was an absolutely perfect way to start out my weekend yesterday—with biscuits and gravy, delicious smoked sausage and an omelette bar! Workers and the labor movement are the backbone of our economy. We should never forget that.
In this time that is so challenging for so many, this weekend filled me with so much hope and joy. The love and camaraderie I felt at No Kings and a local Killin for CO meet and greet reminded me of how much we can do together when we focus on our shared values and humanity.
Happy Furry Friend Friday! Can you imagine how hard it was to get Darby, Aspen, and Lucas to “pose” for this photo? 😂 That is the kind of competence and work ethic it will take to flip CO-5 for the first time in history! And these furry friends of ours know who can get it done.
What’s worse? Over $4 per gallon for gas OR over 4 hour waits to get to a flight at the airport? Thanks to Jeff Crank and Republicans in Congress, we have BOTH. Time to bring competence, courage and character to Congress.
I'm running for Congress to restore competence, courage and character to the Congress. To get involved go to KillinforColorado.com
Earlier this week, we had a Coffee with Killin in the Garden of the Gods area. It’s clear that people are tired of the chaos and stress of the Trump-Crank economy. We all agreed we are done with performative politics. We need courageous leadership that will deliver real results.
