She supports a fairer tax and economic policy that cuts taxes for the middle class while requiring corporations and wealthy Americans to pay more, measures to lower housing and energy costs, and policies to help Colorado small businesses and entrepreneurs compete; in the debate she also criticized the One Big Beautiful Bill's tax cuts for billionaires and its projected effect on federal debt. | high | |

| Local Issues | Jessica Killin says she would prioritize Southern Colorado and El Paso County housing affordability by supporting more starter-home construction, incentives for appropriate housing, and a first-time-homebuyer tax credit; she also says tariffs make affordable construction harder.
