BREAKING: Gabe Evans’ Own Family Urges Coloradans To Vote Against Him

“[My nephew] holds an extreme, far-right ideology that is, simply put, scary. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I’m terrified of what his agenda could do to my rights.”

In a damning new op-ed, Gabe Evans’ aunt is sounding the alarm on his far-right extremism – from his support for banning abortion even in cases of rape or incest, to his opposition to same-sex marriage, to his ties to Project 2025, to peddling election conspiracy theories that threaten our democracy.

“With this much at stake, I couldn’t remain silent. I understand my nephew well enough to know that he will push a far-right agenda that is simply too dangerous.”

This is just the start of Evans’ extremism – he also hired a conspiracy theorist who shared antisemitic rhetoric on his campaign, refused to oppose corporal punishment, and is backed by multiple far-right fringe groups.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Take it from someone who knows Gabe Evans best: he’s far too dangerous and extreme to represent Colorado in Congress.”

Colorado Times Recorder: Opinion: ‘I Couldn’t Remain Silent:’ Don’t Vote for My Nephew Gabe Evans for Congress
Jennifer Chavez | October 31, 2024

  • My nephew, Gabe Evans, is running for Congress in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District. I do love him, and I have since the day he was born. But I sincerely hope he doesn’t make it to Congress.

  • I believe in freedom, rights, fairness, and opportunity. I believe in the right to love who you want to love. The right to make your own health care decisions, especially when it comes to starting a family. I believe in democracy and protecting our free and fair elections.

  • My nephew doesn’t share these beliefs. He holds an extreme, far-right ideology that is, simply put, scary. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I’m terrified of what his agenda could do to my rights.

  • He believes in, and has called for, banning abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest. He has threatened the fabric of our democracy by questioning the results of a free and fair election, joining extremists like Lauren Boebert.

  • He believes in, and has called for, banning gay marriage; he even called gay marriage “bestiality.” He has tried to claim his views have changed over time but the truth is, I’ve seen firsthand that they haven’t. He has long held the deeply rooted belief that gay marriage is wrong and unacceptable.

  • Gabe has worked with the Convention of States – a group that seeks to rewrite the U.S. Constitution to put in place a far-right government. The group is backed by the most extreme leaders, including the authors of Project 2025, extreme Republicans’ policy proposals that would go into effect in 2025 if Trump is elected President.

  • Gabe already has an extreme record. But now, it’s clear that he is laying the groundwork for the Project 2025 agenda. If Gabe and his fellow far-right extremists are in control, they will implement Project 2025, and this should deeply concern all of us.

  • The hardest part to watch is that Gabe is exploiting my father’s legacy for political gain. Gabe touts his Mexican heritage, which comes from my father. But my father, who earned his U.S. citizenship fighting for this country in World War II, was kind, respectful, and selfless. He would be disgusted by the hateful platform Gabe is running on.

  • With this much at stake, I couldn’t remain silent. I understand my nephew well enough to know that he will push a far-right agenda that is simply too dangerous.
