In the 2024 election, Gabe Evans is the Republican nominee for Congress in Colorado's Eighth District.
He's interviewed by CPR News host Chandra Thomas Whitfield in this episode of the Who's Gonna Govern? podcast.
Evans is a state representative, a U.S. Army veteran, and a former police officer, from Weld County.
The Eighth Congressional District is Colorado's newest, and it was drawn to be a toss-up seat between the two major political parties. It spans from the suburbs north of Denver to Greeley.
Evans is taking on incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo, the Democrat who won this district's first-ever race in 2022.
