Homeownership assistance
But at the federal level, a big piece that I want to work on is helping people get in those homes faster. So, a first-time home buyer tax credit.

Supported protecting or expanding abortion access

Responding to proposed abortion restrictions at Veterans Affairs hospitals, Killin said:
The Trump administration is working to ban abortions at Veterans Affairs hospitals, even in cases of rape, incest, or medical necessity. Denying veterans access to this healthcare is dangerous and indefensible. As a veteran myself, I know firsthand the importance of the VA and the vital healthcare it provides. Taking away this essential care and restricting freedom from those who fought to protect our country is abhorrent. In Congress, I will be a fierce champion for our service members and veterans and will fight to protect reproductive rights for all Coloradans.Post on X, August 6, 2025
