Differences within ranks of Colorado GOP not necessarily weakness, Gabe Evans says

As the two factions of the Colorado Republican Central Committee engage in a power struggle, it should viewed as a point of strength and not weakness, 8th District congressional nominee Gabe Evans said Tuesday in a press conference.

“It is one of the things I’ve always been proud of with the Republican party,” Evans said. “We respect individual opinions. We respect individual liberties. That means people won’t always agree.”

It doesn’t mean the party is without unity, he says. Members of the party are unified toward policy.

“What we agree on across party lines is progressive Democrats have made a mess of Colorado,” Evans said. “It’s time to fix these issues.”

Republican solutions to issues he identifies as of primary importance, Evans says, include lowering the cost of living, funding the military, increasing educational freedom, closing the border, protecting American values and more.

“And it’s time to try and get the federal budget under control,” Evans said.
