I’m an Army veteran, public servant, & proud mom of three.

I learned early on what it means to be a patriot & put country over party. That's not what we're seeing in DC today.

I am running for Congress in CO-05 to bring competence, courage, & character back to Congress.

I’m honored to have the support of Congressmembers Brittany Pettersen and Jason Crow, two leaders I admire for their integrity and service. I look forward to working with them in Congress to make life more affordable, support our veterans and service members, and ensure every Coloradan can thrive.

Yesterday reminded of all the things that are so amazing about our community. Non-profits (Habitat for Humanity and the Myron Stratton House), engaged citizens and the business community— working to address our housing shortage and improve the livelihoods of our citizens. This is what gives me hope.

Two years ago today, more than 1,200 innocent lives were taken, including 46 Americans, in the Hamas attack on Israel. We remember the victims and keep the remaining hostages and their families in our prayers. We must continue to work towards lasting peace and security for all.

Perfect Fall weekend: fellowship, family and a big Broncos win!

PS… happy birthday, Mom!

Instead of perpetuating lies with taxpayer dollars and shutting down the government to make health care even more expensive, how about doing your job?

I’m wishing all who are observing Yom Kippur a meaningful day of reflection and renewal.

Jessica Killin @killinforco.bsky.social · 10d

I’m so appreciative of everyone who has supported this campaign by donating, signing up to volunteer, and talking to their friends and neighbors – together we WILL flip this district for the first time in its history.

Mixed emotions today...

Jessica Killin @killinforco.bsky.social · 11d

This is not patriotism. This is not leadership. This is not selfless service. This is not the warrior ethos. This is an ugly display of partisanship at taxpayer expense.

Trump to preside over unusual military gathering in Virginia

U.S. President Donald Trump will preside on Tuesday over an extraordinary gathering of America's top generals and admirals from around the world, who were summoned to a Marine base in Virginia without explanation last week.

I learned servant leadership in the Army and selfless service is still how I lead today. I'm grateful to have the endorsement of New Politics, who work to elect more veterans and servant leaders to Congress.

What a great capstone to the week—Coffee with Killin right near Stetson Hills, my childhood neighborhood! It was also another great opportunity to hear new perspectives about what our community needs.

Instead of bully tactics that don’t work and only inflict harm on the American people, we should focus on policies that actually work—like negotiating drug prices down. This is just another example of why we need new leadership in DC. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/26/u...

U.S. to impose 100% tariff on branded, patented drugs unless firms build plants locally, Trump says

The measure will not apply to companies building drug manufacturing plants in the U.S., Trump added.

This family and all of Epstein's victims deserve justice and the truth. If I were in Congress, I would vote to release all of the evidence. It's shameful and disappointing that Rep. Crank can't even be bothered to respond to the families of victims he represents.

Virginia Giuffre’s family urges Rep. Crank’s help in release of Epstein files

I’m excited that the next Coffee with Killin this Friday will be near the neighborhood that I grew up in. I’d love to have you join! RSVP at killinforcolorado.com/coffee.

Took a brief break from campaigning to do something my sisters and I have wanted to do together for a long time…It felt great to work hard and enjoy completing a challenge — something that applies to both the Manitou Incline and flipping Colorado’s 5th Congressional District!

Jessica Killin @killinforco.bsky.social · 18d

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of Elect Democratic Women. As a veteran and a mother, I know how important it is to have strong voices in Washington who will fight for our families, our freedoms, and our future.

L’Shana Tova! I’m wishing all those who celebrate a sweet, joyful, and happy New Year.

Jessica Killin @killinforco.bsky.social · 19d

It was honor to connect with so many fellow patriots last night at our Killin for Colorado meet and greet. Thank you to all who attended, asked such thoughtful questions, and are excited to flip this district.

Jessica Killin @killinforco.bsky.social · 21d

I learned a new word yesterday: neighborhoodification! It was great to hear ways to build a more vibrant downtown Colorado Springs at the annual Downtown Partnerships Breakfast, and later to see how Homeward Pikes Peak is working to reduce homelessness in our community.

Jessica Killin @killinforco.bsky.social · 24d

Jeff Crank just voted again to protect tariffs that hurt families and businesses here in the Pikes Peak region. Our community deserves better. I’m running to build a stronger economy that serves all Coloradans.

My favorite part of running for Congress is being in the community and hearing what you care about. That’s why I’m excited for my meet and greet this Sunday from 5-7 pm, and I’d love to have you join. RSVP here: killinforcolorado.com/sept21.

Jessica Killin @killinforco.bsky.social · 25d

Jeff Crank appears to be choosing flight over fight. But you know who will always fight for El Paso County? ME.
