Democrat Jessica Killin defeated Republican incumbent Jeff Crank to win Colorado’s 5th Congressional District, becoming the first Democrat and first woman elected to represent the district since its creation in 1972. The Army veteran and former chief of staff to Doug Emhoff campaigned on accessibility and constituent-focused representation in a district that has long favored Republicans. Killin also emphasized voters’ concerns about affordability and dissatisfaction with Washington, while criticizing Crank’s alignment with President Donald Trump and his record in office.

Democrats Win Control of Both Chambers in Midterms

Democrats are favored to take the House, while control of the Senate remains uncertain; a strong showing could increase scrutiny of President Trump’s foreign policy, complicate funding and send a political signal to allies.
