Democrat Jessica Killin, a one-time chief of staff to former second gentleman Doug Emhoff, plans to challenge freshman Republican Rep. Jeff Crank in Colorado's 5th District, reports Inside Elections' Jacob Rubashkin and Punchbowl. Killin previously served the same role for several different House Democrats, including most recently Washington Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.
The 5th, which has long been conservative turf, will be a challenging target for Democrats. Since its creation as a new district based around the city of Colorado Springs following the 1970 census, it's always elected a Republican, and it voted for Donald Trump by a 53-44 margin last year, according to calculations by The Downballot. [emphasis added]
The area has, however, been trending toward Democrats for some time as fast-growing Colorado Springs has come to dominate the district, requiring the 5th to shed more rural areas.
