SEDONA, Ariz. — Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) says his party is already mapping out an oversight agenda for the Pentagon if Democrats take control of the House next year.
The Armed Services Committee member said prioritizing oversight targets would be “really important” because “you can’t do everything at once.” Crow’s comments on Saturday come as fellow Democratic members of the committee released a broader list of priorities that may serve as a roadmap if they win back the chamber.
Jason Crow is a decorated army veteran, lawyer, and current Democratic representative for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. Rep. Crow serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and on the House Armed Services Committee, where he is Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations. The Harvard Political Review sat down with Rep. Crow during his visit to the Harvard Institute of Politics to discuss district representation, U.S. military conduct under the Trump administration, and the future of the Democratic Party.
DENVER — Violence surged again in the war with Iran on Monday as U.S. forces launched Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz, even as Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colorado, pushed a new effort in Congress to rein in the conflict.

According to Central Command, the US military sank six small Iranian boats on Monday.
Iran launched missiles and drones at American Navy ships.

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, gutting a key provision of the Voting Rights Act:
“The Supreme Court just gave Republicans the green light to pursue more partisan gerrymandering. Their disastrous decision will further corrode our politics, eliminate fair maps, and embolden corporate special interests.
“By eroding civil rights laws like the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court is attacking the right of every citizen to vote and make their voice heard.
A Colorado congressman on Wednesday sought to highlight Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s close relationship with a lawyer and legal adviser who once departed President Donald Trump’s legal team after internal disputes, drawing mockery from the defense secretary.
WASHINGTON | Making his first appearance before Congress since the Trump administration went to war in Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced withering questioning from skeptical Democrats Wednesday over a costly conflict being waged without congressional approval.
