COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Mount Carmel Veterans Service Center is hosted a candidate townhall this week. It featured all six candidates for the 5th Congressional District.
The names of the candidates and their party affiliation are listed below:
- Jeff Crank (Republican)
- River Gassen (Democrat)
- Chris Mitchell (American Constitution Party)
- Katrina Nguyen (Unaffiliated)
- Joe Reagan (Democrat)
- Dave Williams (Republican)
"It’s vitally important that the veteran and military community gets to hear from the candidates,” said Col. (Ret.) Bob McLaughlin, Executive Director of Mt. Carmel. “And, since the district has one of the highest concentrations of veterans and military members, it’s important the candidates hear our community concerns.”
Congressional District 5, which includes most of El Paso County, is an open seat as Congressman Doug Lamborn is retiring.
News5's Alasyn Zimmerman moderated the forum.
Mount Carmel Veterans Service Center is located on Communication Circle near the intersection of West Cimarron Street and South 8th Street.
