THE STEADY STATE ENDORSES JESSICA KILLIN FOR COLORADO’S 5TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

WASHINGTON — The Steady State, an organization of more than 420 former national security, intelligence, diplomatic, military, law enforcement, and homeland security officials, today endorsed Jessica Killin for Colorado’s 5th Congressional District.

Jessica Killin is running to represent Colorado’s Fifth Congressional District after a career spanning military service, Capitol Hill leadership, White House service, veterans policy, and public-sector advocacy. A fourth-generation Coloradan raised in Colorado Springs, Killin served in the U.S. Army as a Captain, paratrooper, and Military Police Officer overseas before earning her law degree from Georgetown. In D.C., Killin served as Chief of Staff for members of Congress, and later served in the White House as Deputy Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff to Second Gentleman. Her profile shows her experience as a senior congressional and White House staff leader with direct experience in institutional governance, veterans policy, executive-branch operations, and military public service.

Jessica Killin demonstrates a consistent commitment to the rule of law, supports nonpartisan oversight and accountability of the Executive Branch, exhibits a substantive understanding of the national security challenges facing the country, and upholds the democratic norms and ethical standards of public service that the organization’s criteria require.

“The challenges facing our democracy require leaders who understand both the complexity of national security and the necessity of constitutional restraint. Jessica Killin has demonstrated both throughout her career,” said Steven Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State.
