Crow Statement on the Passage of His War Powers Resolution

September 15, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO), a former paratrooper and Army Ranger who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement following the U.S. House of Representatives passing his War Powers Resolution to end Donald Trump’s reckless war with Iran: “Six months into a war that Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance said would last six weeks, there’s no end in sight. “18 servicemembers are dead, hundreds more are wounded, and taxpayers have spent billions of dollars on a war that has raised prices and not made them any safer. “Trump campaigned on ending conflicts abroad. As President, he did the opposite, starting a new forever war in the Middle East. “Constant war and constant conflict is neither inevitable nor necessary. The American people are over it. They want their taxpayer dollars going toward cheaper healthcare and better schools at home, not forever wars abroad. “We must end this war. I won’t stop fighting for accountability and for Congress to rein in this President and his failed military adventurism.” At a press conference and floor debate before the vote on his War Powers Resolution, Crow spoke about the cost of forever wars like Trump’s conflict with Iran on working class Americans. This is the second time Crow has forced a vote on a War Powers Resolution. In July, the U.S. House of Representatives passed Crow’s bipartisan resolution to disapprove of President Trump’s war with Iran. Crow continues to lead legislation to prohibit federal funding for the war, and he recently demanded that the Trump Administration reveal the full, true cost of this war on the American people. As someone from a working class family who served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Crow has seen firsthand the toll forever wars have cost servicemembers and hardworking Americans. ### Issues : An Economy for the Working Class National Security
