Freshman Republican Rep. Gabe Evans from Colorado, who narrowly won a blue state seat, is already facing backlash from Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Since his swearing-in on January 3, Ocasio-Cortez has criticized him for planning to cut Medicaid. Evans, who has a law enforcement background, intends to work on bipartisan solutions through his role on the Energy & Commerce Committee. The district, comprising the suburbs of Denver and Greeley, has significant Hispanic populations and is vital to Colorado's energy sector, highlighting constituents' concerns around jobs and cost of living.
Ocasio-Cortez told rallygoers they "deserve better" than Evans, whom she accused of plotting to "cut Medicaid."
Evans tells The American Conservative that he plans to use his background as a law enforcement officer and his coveted spot on the Energy & Commerce Committee to find bipartisan solutions.
