DENVER, CO – Tonight, State Representative Gabe Evans won the Republican nomination in his bid to face off with Yadira Caraveo for Colorado’s 8th congressional district.
Upon the race call, AFP Action Senior Advisor Jesse Mallory released the following statement:
“Rep. Caraveo has failed to be an independent voice for Coloradans in Congress. Instead, she’s voted time and again in lockstep with Joe Biden. Coloradans are struggling with high inflation and the skyrocketing cost of living in the state and deserve a leader who will stand up to their party bosses.
“From his time as a police officer to his role in the legislature, State Rep. Gabe Evans has dedicated his life to the service of his community. This dedication to public service will continue in Congress as Rep. Evans has vowed to rein in Washington’s reckless spending and stop the attempts to stifle the American energy industry.
“AFP Action congratulates Rep. Evans on tonight’s victory. As we look to November, AFP Action intends to put the full weight of its grassroots capability behind Evans’ candidacy to unseat Caraveo.”
