Republicans are in support of dangerous cuts to Social Security and Medicaid that will screw over their constituents in order to pay for their billionaire tax cut. Empowered by their allies in Congress like Gabe Evans (CO-08), Donald Trump and his supporters have led an aggressive effort to decimate Social Security’s workforce and infrastructure. These are cuts that target the core stability of this earned benefit American workers rely on.
“Evans has enabled cuts that will gut Social Security and Medicaid. He’s responsible for this, and while his voters are struggling to afford groceries and health care, they won’t forget Evans’ betrayal,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado.
Coloradans who depend on Social Security, Medicaid, and SNAP will suffer as a result:
- Approximately 100,368 of Evans’ constituents in Colorado’s 8th District rely on Social Security.
- Approximately 125,900 (19.5%) of Evans’ constituents in Colorado’s 8th District are covered by Medicaid or CHIP, and over 29,000 have used SNAP.
Before Evans voted to slash Medicaid, he refused to comment.
