| Gabe Evans loves to brag about his ‘commitment’ to building on clean energy investments – that is, until D.C. Party Bosses come calling.
As the Trump Administration recklessly slashes over $33 million from clean energy projects in his district and more than $608 million in critical investments across Colorado, Evans is nowhere to be found.
Evans’ silence is especially ironic considering that just last month, he:
- Penned an op-ed arguing that “now, more than ever, we need to invest in… innovative energy technologies” and that “modernized grids are… part of the equation.” One of the now-cancelled grants – worth $27 million – would have helped “optimize” the grid in Evans’ rural district.
- Held an energy roundtable where he “reiterated [his] commitment to increasing jobs and ensuring Weld County remained a top energy producer in the state.”
- Visited with one of the companies now bracing for more than $6 million in cuts and noted how their “investment will help provide more reliable, safe, and affordable energy for #CO08.”
But now that D.C. Party Bosses have decided to gut these clean energy projects, it’s crickets from Gabe Evans.
REMINDER: After voting for the Big, Ugly Bill earlier this year, Evans admitted he was jeopardizing millions in investments and thousands of good-paying jobs in his district and begged Senate Republican leaders to “mitigate” the negative impacts of his own vote.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Coloradans can’t trust a word Gabe Evans says. After spending the past month touting the importance of American energy, Evans is now silent while D.C. party bosses cancel $33 million in funding for energy projects and jeopardize good-paying jobs in his district. Evans’ silence isn’t just deafening – it’s betrayal.”
