Biography
Jason Crow worked construction to help pay for college and enlisted in the National Guard before his career as an Army officer and lawyer.1 He is a father of two who lives in Colorado and says he enjoys baseball, hiking and a Colorado craft beer when he is away from work.2
Crow served three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division and 75th Ranger Regiment, earning the Bronze Star.2 His military career included service as a paratrooper and Army Ranger, before he returned to civilian life and encountered difficulties obtaining his own veterans' benefits.2
He became an attorney and helped Colorado veterans navigate the transition out of military service and obtain care and benefits, work recognized with a local award for volunteer legal service.2 In Congress, his national security work includes the Armed Services and Intelligence committees, alongside representing the Sixth District's communities.2
Crow identifies lowering household costs, protecting democratic institutions and strengthening national security as central priorities.2 He also advocates changes to political money and argues that government should serve working families rather than powerful financial interests.2 He faces Republican business owner Jason Clark for reelection in the Sixth District, where affordability and the federal government's role are prominent campaign issues.3
