Summary

Jason Crow, a working-man representative from Colorado's 6th Congressional District, a J6 hero, and an Army Ranger, sits down with Rick to explain how he flipped a historically red district blue. A big proponent of talking to and for everyday working people, Jason prepares for his first town hall of the year by shedding light on how the Democrats must reassess their identity and messaging to reconnect with the working class and how Trump's escapades with Putin jeopardize America's National Security and global political position. ・・・・・・・・・・・ Follow Jason Crow at @RepJasonCrow on X & @crow.house.gov on Bluesky Join Jason Crow's Town Hall virtually on Thursday, 2/27, by following his social accounts above!
