Colorado's Fifth District Heats Up | Colorado Springs News

Colorado’s fiercely contested 5th congressional district is heating up as Republican incumbent Jeff Crank faces Democratic challenger Jessica Killin in a live televised debate tonight at 6 PM — and it’s not just about the House race. Right after, gubernatorial hopefuls Phil Weiser and Greg Lopez take center stage, with GOP nominee Victor Marx sitting this one out. Killin, an Army vet and former White House staffer, is outspending Crank and leading in a key internal poll — a stunning reversal in a district that hasn’t voted for a Democrat since the 1970s. With national Democrats now targeting this seat and shrinking GOP margins, this race could be a bellwether for Colorado’s shifting political landscape. Two debates are coming — and voters are getting serious info before ballots roll out in five weeks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
