The open race in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District between Republican Jeff Crank and Democrat River Gassen will likely show just how much of a GOP stronghold the Colorado Springs-based district…
won’t have an incumbent on the ballot — giving breath to the question of just how Republican red the state’s fastest-growing county is.
“I’m getting a little tired of hearing this ‘states’ rights’ narrative,” Gassen said. “I don’t think states’ rights really has anything to do with women’s rights. I think it’s just kind of an escape so people can say they’re pro-life, so to speak, without trying to sound sexist.” “I know people want to say, ‘Are you for or against mass deportations?’ ” Crank said in a recent interview. “Starting with the criminals who came here, the terrorists, others — let’s figure out who those people are, and let’s get them the heck out of here. They don’t belong in the United States. Let’s start with that, and then we’ll keep working through the list.”
Crank calls himself a Republican close to the mold of former President Ronald Reagan, while Gassen says her politics most closely align with those of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Crank, for his part, steers away from the label of MAGA Republican — short for the Trump campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again” — even as he has celebrated Trump’s endorsement and many of the former president’s achievements as he seeks the White House again. In June, Republican primary voters likewise, Crank’s primary opponent — and the state GOP’s chairman — who tied himself as closely as possible to Trump.
