House GOP campaign arm names Colorado’s Jeff Hurd, Gabe Evans to ‘Young Guns’ program

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics The National Republican Congressional Committee announced Monday that the Republican nominees in Colorado's most competitive congressional races were named to the House GOP campaign arm's Young Guns program for top challengers in targeted seats. First-time candidate Jeff Hurd and state Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Fort Lupton, are among 26 Republican House candidates inducted into the top tier of the campaign support program, which helps candidates who have met fundraising and organizational goals, the NRCC said. Hurd, a Grand Junction attorney, is facing Democrat Adam Frisch in the 3rd Congressional District, which covers most of the Western Slope and Southern Colorado, and Evans is running against first-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo in the N...

Independence Day: Some cite Reagan, Trump, but Gardner goes way back to Adams in Twitter greetings

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice While Coloradans were enjoying parades, rodeos and cookouts in celebration Thursday of Independence Day, elected Republican officials past, present and possibly future turned to Twitter. For those not binge-watching Yellowstone re-runs, Twitter was filled with their personal thoughts and quotations, as could be expected, by Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, and unexpectedly by novelist William Faulkner. The occasion drew former U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner to get more creative, citing the country's co-drafter of the Declaration of Independence, the first vice president, first occupant of the White House and the country's only Federalist president: John Adams. Gardner encouraged Coloradans and Americans to, as Adams had said in 1776, "Ce...

Democrat Yadira Caraveo hauls in nearly $1.8M for quarter in Colorado’s toss-up 8th CD

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Democratic U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo plans to report raising nearly $1.8 million in the most recent fundraising quarter in a bid to defend Colorado's battleground 8th Congressional District, her campaign told Colorado Politics. The first-term lawmaker heads into the general election with an eye-popping $3.3 million in the bank for a race that could determine which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives once ballots are counted in November. A spokesman for Caraveo's campaign said she raised more than $1,769,000 for the three-month period from April 1 to June 30, including more than $1.2 million in receipts since the pre-primary reporting period ended on June 5. The quarterly figure pushes Caraveo's total fundraising this cycle...

Evans to Weld Women: ‘We can win the 8th District and retire Caraveo’

By Brian Porter | Rocky Mountain Voice HUDSON -- Gabe Evans isn't resting on a 55-point Republican Party primary election victory. The 8th District Republican nominee for U.S. representative told the Women of Weld County here Thursday he can defeat Yadira Caraveo on the issues, each and every one of them. "Open borders, American oil and gas production, agriculture, really every pressing issue right now, she has been on the wrong side of it," Evans said. "It is time to retire her." His Christmas in June began when 8th District Republicans handed him a 55.1% margin of victory over Janak Joshi on Tuesday. On Thursday, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced it would invest $2.327 million in Colorado's 8th District race, marking its third-highest investment...

NRCC will invest $2.327 million in 8th District ad buy to support Evans

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice How much ad space will $2.327 million buy in the Denver market? If you reside in or near the 8th District, you are about to find out. The National Republican Congressional Committee, fresh off Gabe Evans 55-point win in the primary election, announced Thursday the reinforcements are coming in an effort to prevent Democrat Yadira Caraveo's re-election. The $2.327 million is third, falling behind NRCC investments of $2.5 million in Los Angeles, Calif., and $6/06 million in Portland, Ore. "In 2023, the NRCC set a goal to expand the House Republican Majority by recruiting top tiercandidates in Democrat-held seats, while at the same time shoring up our most vulnerable members," NRCC Independent Expenditure Director Tom Erickson wrote in a press...

Evans, Flora win Republican Rumble straw poll; LP chair second to Lopez in special election poll

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice DENVER -- Deborah Flora captured another straw poll win Saturday on the eve of primary ballots beginning to populate mail boxes across the district and the state. Following an exchange with 4th Congressional District opponent Richard Holtorf over the financial status of her non-profit and the service of family and spouses to active duty military, Flora captured the Republican Rumble straw poll victory here at the Grizzly Rose. Flora, viewed by some to be a front-runner with Lauren Boebert, earned 24.8% of the straw votes. "I'm humbled again for this latest straw poll victory. From Douglas to Weld and Kit Carson to Prowers, I've worked tirelessly to hear your concerns and be your voice for Congress," Flora said. "We're building on that momentu...

Evans positions as a ‘big tent’ option in 8th District during Rumble with opponent Janak Joshi

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice DENVER -- Gabe Evans appeared Saturday to walk the walk. "I'm going to work as a big-tent Republican," Evans said. "That is how we win the 8th Congressional District." When his opponent, Janak Joshi, drifted hard right during the Republican Rumble here at the Grizzly Rose, Evans seemed to moderate on issues that will play to a general election audience against an incumbent Democrat. "I'm literally all in to go out, fight and win, to flip this seat," Evans said, closing a debate with Joshi where he drew a major difference in intelligence policy and the abortion issue. Joshi supports dissolving the nation's intelligence community, and then rebuilding. It was supported from a Libertarian Party contingent in attendance. "All of these dep...
