Gabe Evans Repeatedly Said Cost Of Living And Affordability Were Top Priorities For Him And Pledged To Factor It Into His Decision Making In Congress

Evans Said Inflation And Cost Of Living Were Top Priorities Of His In Congress. “Whether it’s gas, groceries, or utilities, there’s no doubt everything is more expensive than it used to be. As a husband and father of two growing boys, tackling this problem is a top priority of mine in Congress. Lowering prices for a more realistic cost of living won’t happen overnight, but with the right economic policies, we will be able to see inflation come down, putting money back in the bank accounts of Colorado families.” [Congressman Gabe Evans, Economy, accessed 11/7/25]

December 2024: Evans Said One Of His Top Priorities Was Improving The Cost Of Living. “U.S. Rep.-elect Gabe Evans will soon be the second person to represent Colorado’s competitive 8th Congressional District. The 38-year-old Fort Lupton Republican will go to Congress after one term in the Colorado House of Representatives, where he served on the state’s energy and environment and judiciary committees. He spent 10 years as a police officer in Arvada and 12 years in the U.S. Army and Colorado Army National Guard… Evans said his top priorities when he gets to Washington, D.C., will be securing the border, improving the cost of living and increasing public safety in the 8th District.” [Colorado Newsline, 12/26/24]

October 2024: Evans Said Creating An “Economy Where The Essentials Of Life Are Affordable” Would Factor Into His Decision Making In Congress. “And so what I found during 10 years of being a police officer is that left, right, moderates, the vast majority of Americans agree on the vast majority of things. We want safe communities to raise our family. We want an economy where the essentials of life are affordable, and we want to be able to protect our individual and our personal freedoms so that we can live our own version of the American Dream. And so those are the things that I use to make my decisions, both as a current state representative and then also in Congress.” [Colorado Public Radio, 10/3/24]

October 2024: Evans Said He Was “Skeptical Of Tariffs Or Trade Barriers, Except When America’s National Security Is Jeopardized.” “Free and fair trade is important. Our district feeds the world and powers the world. We rely on open trade. I am skeptical of tariffs or trade barriers, except when America’s national security is jeopardized (e.g., when weapons are involved or trade involving a hostile actor, such as Iran, China, or Russia).” [Colorado Public Radio, 10/14/24]
