A town hall meeting featuring Congressman-elect Gabe Evans and State Board of Education Member-elect Yazmin Navarro, both of the 8th Congressional District, will take place on Friday, Dec. 6, from 1-3 p.m.
The town hall is being hosted and offered by Wayne Walvoord, the regional captain in Northern and Eastern Colorado for the Convention of States.
Evans unseated Democrat U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo in a race decided by 2,449 votes among 333,609 total votes. He gathered 48.96% of the vote, edging out Caraveo by 0.74%. The race did not qualify for a mandatory recount, as it was 0.24% beyond the 0.50% margin to trigger a recount.
Navarro was part of a right turn for the State Board of Education, as Republicans won three of the four races on the ballot and the one they lost was unopposed. Navarro made easier work of Democrat Rhonda Solis, defeating her by nearly 5% of the vote. Republicans Sherri Wright and Kristi Burton Brown won in the 3rd and 4th Districts, respectively.
The town hall featuring Evans and Navarro will be at Harvest Fellowship Church, 11401 E. 160th Ave. in Brighton. Doors open at 1 p.m. The town hall will begin at 1:30 p.m.
