Quotes are taken from each campaign's own website (first sentences of the section, unedited). Topics are assigned by keyword; we do not summarize or score positions. "No public position found" means we did not find the topic on the campaign site, not that the candidate has no view.
Jessica grew up in Colorado at a time when her parents, two public school educators, could afford a secure, middle-class life. That's not true anymore.source
No parent wants to leave their children with a mountain of debt. Jessica definitely doesn't. She knows it's time to get the national debt under control and leave a legacy of opportunity for future generations. Bloated spending isn’t acceptable, but neither are bloated tax cuts.source
Millions of Americans rely on Medicare and Medicaid. Jeff Crank cast one of the deciding votes to slash Medicaid, which will kick hundreds of thousands of our neighbors off their health care plans, close Colorado hospitals and nursing homes, and raise costs for all Coloradans.source
Jessica grew up camping, hiking, skiing, and fishing in Colorado's public lands. It's a tradition she's passing along to her children – and it's a legacy that Jeff Crank has put at risk. Jeff Crank joined Lauren Boebert in voting to sell our public lands to the highest bidder.source
Jessica attended college on a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship before joining the U.S. Army.source
Jessica knows that our elected officials should work for the people, not for profit. Public servants should be focused on service – engaging with their constituents, holding townhalls, delivering results, and doing what is best for their communities and country.source
