Updated: October 7, 2024
Overview
Candidate CPP:
Denver: $600
While Yadira Caraveo is focused on delivering results that will improve the lives of everyday Coloradans, Gabe Evans cares more about pushing an extreme, far-right agenda than putting the needs of Coloradans first.
Summary
Voters need to see ads on broadcast, cable, streaming, and digital in English and Spanish, and should also read mail in English and Spanish about:
- Independent fact checkers have called Gabe Evans’ lies “B***s**t”. Evans is trying to change his story to hide the truth, but here are the facts: Evans is a far-right extremist who has repeatedly supported efforts to ban almost all abortion – he even supported banning abortion in the case of rape or incest as recently as the last election. And if far-right extremists take power in Washington, they will pass a nationwide abortion ban – overriding state laws – including in Colorado. We can’t trust Gabe Evans.
- Evans can’t hide from his extreme agenda – he repeatedly supported efforts to ban abortion even in the case of rape or incest. He believes that the government should prevent gay and lesbian marriages and would invalidate existing marriages. He joined extremists like Boebert in casting doubts about the 2020 election and he even supported a far-right group that wants to rewrite the U.S. constitution.
Before ballots are mailed on October 11: persuadable voters, including those who lean toward Caraveo or Evans, and excluding those who are very unlikely to vote – need to hear at their doors and in phone calls, and read the following in literature in both English and Spanish about Yadira Caraveo and Gabe Evans:
- Yadira Caraveo was raised in Adams County on her father’s construction worker salary, before working her way through college and then going to med school and returning to our community to serve as a pediatrician.
- In the state legislature and now as our Congresswoman, she’s always stood up to special interests and party leaders to do what’s right for Colorado, by helping create a first-in-the-nation cap in insulin; standing up to her own party leaders to support the new Farm Bill; working with Republicans and Democrats alike to increase border security; and protecting a woman’s right to choose.
- Gabe Evans, like Lauren Boebert, cares more about pushing an extreme far-right agenda than doing what’s right for Colorado. He supports a far-right group that wants to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, he wants to invalidate existing gay marriages, and he wants to ban abortion in Colorado, even in the case of rape and incest.
After ballots are mailed: registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning unaffiliated voters who are less likely to turn out to vote – especially Latino voters – need to hear at their doors and in phone calls and read the following in literature about Yadira Caraveo:
- Yadira Caraveo was raised in Adams County on her father’s construction worker salary, before working her way through college and then going to med school and returning to our community to serve as a pediatrician.
- In the state legislature and now as our Congresswoman, she’s always stood up to special interests to do what’s right, by helping create a first-in-the-nation cap in insulin, setting limits on prescription drug prices, passing paid family and sick leave, and expanding free kindergarten and pre-school. Now she’s fighting to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug price on more drugs and working to protect a woman’s right to choose.
- Gabe Evans, like Lauren Boebert, cares more about pushing an extreme, far-right agenda than doing what’s right for Colorado. He supports a far-right group that wants to re-write the U.S. Constitution, he wants to invalidate existing gay marriages, and he wants to ban abortion in Colorado, even in the case of rape and incest.

- Negative communication is the imperative in the race. Voters should see more negative on Evans than positive on Caraveo.
- It’s critical that when voters learn about Evans, they see/hear his record, statements and votes presented as factual evidence in a sober tone that highlights how dangerous he would be for Colorado.
- It is helpful for voters to see and hear from real Coloradans throughout the district who are facing everyday challenges and want their representative focused on tackling those challenges.
