<p>Colorado Democrat Jessica Killin hopes to unseat GOP Rep. Jeff Crank this fall. Since its creation more than 50 years ago, a Democrat has never served in that seat, but the party thinks this is their chance to flip it. "The demographics have changed, and what I hear everywhere on every corner of this district is that people are frustrated," Killin told CNN's Manu Raju. "They want real leadership. They want someone who's going to actually deliver for them, and they're struggling. People are really struggling to make ends meet in my district, just like they are across the country."</p>
