Ahead of tonight’s debate in Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District, we want to remind you exactly who Republican candidate Gabe Evans is.
“Gabe Evans is a wannabe Mike Johnson, which is even more pathetic than it sounds,” said American Bridge spokesperson Monica Venzke. “He’s a MAGA extremist who will stop at nothing to gut reproductive freedom. He doesn’t represent the best interests of Coloradans. Gabe Evans is looking out for Gabe Evans, Donald Trump, and Mike Johnson.”
Here’s the truth about Gabe Evans:
- He said he was “100% pro-life” and answered in a survey that he opposed abortion even in cases of rape and incest.
- He claimed he couldn’t remember how he voted on a state abortion ban and that he doesn’t “have the right parts” to understand reproductive care.
- He praised the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and voted against supporting funding for family planning services and contraception.
- He opposed Colorado’s law, which protects reproductive freedom.
- He has ties to Project 2025 through his support for gutting the Department of Education.
- He refused to answer questions about whether he’d vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
- He supports Trump’s ineffective border wall, and suggested he would support Trump’s plan for mass deportations.
- He equated the deadly January 6th insurrection to civil rights protests.
- He still refuses to definitively say whether he believes the 2020 election was stolen from Trump or not.
