根据数据决策台（DDHQ）预测，民主党人杰西卡·基林（Jessica Killin）预计将击败众议员杰夫·克兰克（（共和党-科罗拉多州）），夺得科罗拉多州第5国会选区席位。
Democrat Jessica Killin is projected to unseat Rep. Jeff Crank (R-Colo.) in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
基林的胜利标志着科罗拉多斯普林斯周边选区政治史上的第一次，该选区自1973年设立以来从未选出过民主党人。

这位陆军退伍军人曾担任前第二先生道格·埃姆霍夫的幕僚长，她利用选民对与持续的伊朗战争以及总统特朗普的经济议程相关的油价上涨日益增长的不满情绪，取得了优势。
The Army veteran, who previously served as chief of staff to former second gentleman Doug Emhoff, capitalized on growing voter frustrations over rising gas prices tied to the ongoing Iran war and President Trump’s economic agenda.
她的胜利也凸显了该选区不断变化的政治格局，特朗普在2024年以大约9个百分点的优势赢得了该选区，这为民主党争夺众议院控制权提供了一个重大的新增席位。
Her victory also underscores the shifting political landscape in a district Trump carried by roughly 9 percentage points in 2024, giving Democrats a significant pickup in their bid to regain control of the House.
在中期选举周期的最后阶段，这场竞选变得愈发激烈。《库克政治报告》在9月将这场竞争从“稳固倾向共和党”调整为“倾向共和党”，而DDHQ的选举前预测仍预计共和党拥有大约7个百分点的优势。
The race grew increasingly competitive in the final stretch of the midterm cycle. The Cook Political Report shifted the contest from “likely Republican” to “lean Republican” in September, while DDHQ’s preelection forecast still projected a roughly 7-point GOP margin.
基林的竞选以负担能力、医疗保健和军人家庭为中心，同时她还批评了特朗普政府将美国太空司令部总部从科罗拉多斯普林斯迁至亚拉巴马州的决定。
Killin centered her campaign on affordability, healthcare and military families, while also criticizing the Trump administration’s decision to relocate the U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado Springs to Alabama.
克兰克曾任保守派电台主持人和“美国繁荣”组织高管，在长期担任众议员的道格·兰博恩（（共和党-科罗拉多州））退休后，于2024年首次当选。
Crank, a former conservative radio host and Americans for Prosperity executive, was first elected in 2024 following the retirement of longtime Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.).
在他的第一个任期内，克兰克主要支持特朗普的立法议程，包括共和党的《一个巨大美丽法案》。
During his first term, Crank largely supported Trump’s legislative agenda, including the GOP’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
