ONE YEAR LATER: Gabe Evans and Jeff Crank’s Big, Ugly Bill Remains Deeply Unpopular As Coloradans Suffer

The DCCC made clear that a vote for this Tax Scam would be the defining vote of Evans and Crank’s races – and that fact remains the same one year later. Here is why:

• Nearly 200,000 Coloradans will lose health coverage. Marketplace enrollment has fallen by 4.2 million people nationally, while an estimated 3.8 million Americans have lost Medicaid or CHIP coverage since the law took effect.
• Four Colorado hospitals and clinics have closed or are closing and five are at risk of closing.
• Millions have lost access to food assistance nationwide, with nearly 9,000 fewer people in Colorado receiving nutrition assistance.
• Health care costs are soaring. Coloradans have been forced to pay 101% more for their monthly premiums in 2026 or abandon their plans altogether.
• The Big, Ugly Bill remains deeply unpopular. Recent Navigator polling shows the law underwater by 11 points in battleground districts and 18 points nationally, underscoring the political liability Evans and Crank continue to face.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Gabe Evans and Jeff Crank betrayed their constituents when voting for the Big, Ugly Bill. As a result of their shameful actions, hospitals are closing, children are losing food, and health care is being stripped away. GOP extremists like Evans and Crank are going to lose in November, and the vote for this Tax Scam will be the reason why.”
