U.S. House of Representatives
Elections 2018 On April 17, 2017, Crow announced his intention to run against four-term Republican incumbent
Mike Coffman to represent
Colorado's 6th congressional district in the
United States House of Representatives. In the Democratic primary, Crow defeated businessman
Levi Tillemann with 68% of the vote. He defeated Coffman in the November 6 general election with 54% of the vote, winning two of the district's three counties. He is the first Democrat to represent the district since its creation in 1983.
2020 Crow ran for election to a second term, and faced no opposition in the Democratic primary. He defeated Steve House, former chairman of the
Colorado Republican Party, in the November 3 general election by over 17% of the vote, winning all three counties.
2022 Crow defeated moderate Republican Steve Monahan to win his third term, with 61% of the vote. A redistricting change gave Crow a significant advantage over Monahan, drawing in more urban areas that made the district more Democratic than its predecessor. It now took in most of the more built-up areas in Arapahoe and Adams counties, including all of Aurora and Littleton, as well as a sliver of Denver itself.
Tenure Crow has been the primary sponsor of 10 bills, most relating to military or foreign affairs. For 2022, GovTrack ranked him as the "15th most politically right" Democrat in the House of Representatives, putting him at the 93rd percentile. During the
January 6 United States Capitol attack, Crow was one of a group of representatives who were trapped in the Capitol after the rest of the House had been evacuated. He described going "back into ... combat mode" during the attack, preparing to defend himself and the other representatives. Crow held distressed Representative
Susan Wild's hand, as captured in a photo that went viral. Crow was an
impeachment manager for
President Donald Trump's first impeachment trial. On July 29, 2024, Crow was announced as one of six Democratic members of a bipartisan task force investigating the
attempted assassination of Donald Trump. In May 2025, a
pro-Palestinian protest was held in Denver against Crow for repeatedly accepting campaign donations from executives of
Palantir Technologies, which provides intelligence and surveillance services to the
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the
Gaza war. In November 2025, Crow was one of six people, all Democratic lawmakers, to be part of a
video telling servicemembers they can refuse illegal orders. In response later that month, President Trump posted on social media calling those in the video, including Crow, traitors who should be charged with
sedition punishable by death, and shared a social media post calling for them to be hanged.
