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

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."

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...
