You won’t believe how Jessica Killin’s DC insider past could cost Colorado families big

Jessica Killin wants to be Colorado’s next Congresswoman in the 5th District, but let’s be honest: she’s not running to represent the people of Colorado. She’s running to keep her family’s grip on D.C. power—and their wallets. Take a closer look at her resume and you’ll see the blueprint of a classic D.C. insider. This is someone who has spent her career bouncing from the halls of Congress to big-money lobbying firms and back again, all while her husband lines his pockets with political connections.

Killin has worked for the usual liberal suspects—career politicians who never met a tax hike or a pork project they didn’t love. She learned from the best when it comes to cutting backroom deals and trading favors. After riding the Capitol Hill merry-go-round, she slipped into a cushy lobbyist gig at one of the nation’s top law firms. And who really benefits when D.C. insiders become lobbyists? Spoiler alert: it’s not hardworking Americans, it’s the same crowd that writes the rules and gets rich off them.

Of course, Killin couldn’t resist coming back to “serve”—as chief of staff for a handful of the swamp’s most reliable vote-peddlers. Then it was off to the White House, not to fight for Colorado, but to play assistant to the President and the Second Gentleman. That’s right: another unearned title, another fancy office, and another step up the ladder for her political dynasty.

She pretends to care about regular people, but her only real expertise is climbing the ranks of a broken system. She’s the poster child for everything wrong with Washington—the favoritism, the hypocrisy, and above all, the self-enrichment. Her career is one long story of serving the elites and ignoring everyday Americans. While families in Colorado are struggling to keep their lights on and gas in their tanks, Killin and her family coast on an endless parade of D.C. paydays.

So what exactly does she bring to the table besides a Rolodex full of special interest pals and a history of putting the swamp’s interests first? Colorado deserves better than another smooth-talking liberal who lives off the system. How long are voters supposed to stand by while these D.C. families treat our government like their personal piggy bank?
