I just got off the debate stage! Tonight, Gabe Evans proved that he is 100% with Donald Trump and his reckless, cost-hiking agenda. I'll always fight for working families to lower our costs. Let's do this.

Like most of us, I wasn’t born on third base. So I'm fed up with corrupt politicians rigging the system for their corporate donors. Trump and my MAGA congressman Gabe Evans have destroyed our economy to give tax breaks to their billionaire and corporate donors. I'm running in the most competitive race in the country to flip this seat blue and fight for working people. Time to get Congress working for us. Join the fight. Link in bio

Was curious whether GOP Rep Gabe Evans in swing CO-8 would seek to distance himself from longshot/extreme Republicans on the ticket - like exorcist/Gov candidate Victor Marx and election denier/Sec of State candidate James Wiley. Evans is going with full embrace of both.
Congratulations to @MarkBaisley, @redflameliberty, @KevinJGrantham, @victormarx, and @MichaelAllen4CO on their nominations! Colorado’s extremist Democrat nominees for our statewide offices are the very people who have helped make Colorado the third most expensive state, the state with the second highest crime rate, and sixth most heavily regulated state in the nation.  Businesses, families, and hardworking communities continue to suffer under their policies and mandates, and it’s time we take our beautiful state back! We must unite as Republicans and vote red up and down the ballot this November. 🇺🇸

One of the most vulnerable House Republicans in the country, @GabeforColorado, is campaigning on a unity ticket with exorcist / killing enthusiast Victor Marx. Good luck with that! #CO08
Replying to @KyleClark
Victor Marx claims to have been forced to kill a man at age 7. And he talks about the necessity of killing people in the course of his "high-risk missionary" work. So I asked him how many people he's killed on his missions. "Does it matter?" Marx said.

I didn’t want to wreck his primary campaign or anything with this take but I like @MannyRutinel a lot and think he’s shown himself to be very smart and pragmatic in a way that defies the logic of this kind of factional analysis.
Progressive Rutinel is handily defeating his more centrist opponent, Bird, in a district Democrats narrowly lost in 2024. Rutinel benefited from a late surge in momentum and a strong social media operation, contributing to what is currently tracking as a landslide win.

Just got canvassed for @MannyRutinel because unlike the carnival barkers shrieking on every corner I actually live in the district. Really nice kid. Good job. There's STILL no substitute for friendly people knocking on doors, candidates. #copolitics

My opponent created a caucus that funnels money from conservative corporate interests into Colorado politics. I’m the only candidate in this race who’s never accepted Corporate PAC money. Shannon Bird was a top recipient of Corporate PAC money during her legislative tenure.
CO-8 Democratic primary candidate Shannon Bird criticizes dark money in politics. So I asked her why she set up the Opportunity Caucus, which funnels oil and gas industry and other conservative dark money donations to centrist Dems in the state legislature.

Voters here in Colorado's 8th District are ready to elect a representative who will stand up to Trump's ICE brutality.  Shannon Bird was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans to let ICE raid schools and hospitals. I cosponsored that bill to stop ICE.  Voters agree ⬇️

For me, stopping Trump and ICE is personal. This District is full of Latino families like mine who are terrified of being torn apart. We need a Representative who will fight back against Trump and ICE. Not one who sides with ICE to let them raid our schools and hospitals. Join the fight. Link in bio.

I’m so grateful and honored🙏🏽 We’ve raised over $950,000 in Q1 thanks to over 60,000 grassroots donors (and zero corporate PACs) who’ve helped us raise over $3.45 million total. We’re building a movement to take back Congress. Join the fight. Link in bio.

Birthright citizenship means a working class kid can work his way through school, become an economist in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and pass laws to protect Americans from your masked ICE agents.
Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance.
