Gabe Evans Said He Knew “The Challenges Farmers Face” As “Someone Who Operates A Small Family Farm”

Evans Said He Knew “The Challenges Farmers Face” As “Someone Who Operates A Small Family Farm.” “Happy #AgricultureWeek, Colorado! #CO08 powers the world and feeds the world. Weld County is Colorado's top agriculture-generating county! As someone who operates a small family farm, I know the challenges farmers face. And Joe Biden and his allies in Congress, such as Yadira Caraveo, are making farming and ranching more and more difficult with their punitive regulations. In Congress, I'll stand up for Colorado farmers! @ColoFarmBureau.”

Evans Described Himself As The Operator Of A Family Farm And A “Beef Producer”

Evans Said He Owned And Operated A Family Farm. “Gabe also spent over ten years as an Arvada police officer, where he witnessed, first-hand, the consequences of Colorado Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies. Gabe and his wife own and operate a family farm in southern Weld County. As parents of two boys (Bruce and Sammy), they are heavily involved with homeschooling and educational choice. In his free time, Gabe teaches a concealed carry class in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District.” [Elect Gabe Evans, Meet Gabe, accessed 10/16/25]

During A 2024 Congressional Debate, Evans Said “I’m A Beef Producer [...] I Actually Contribute To The Food Supply By Producing Pasture-Raised, Grass-Fed Beef.” “Evans continued dropping references to his cattle in his congressional race last year against incumbent Democrat Yadira Caraveo — with his campaign offering rancher shots of the candidate. During a debate against Caraveo, for example, CBS4’s Shaun Boyd asked if enough is being done to keep food safe in the U.S., and Evans replied, ‘I’m a beef producer. I actually contribute to the food supply by producing pasture-raised, grass-fed beef. I take it to a USDA-inspected facility.’” [Colorado Times Recorder, 6/10/25]

• Gabe Evans: “As A Beef Producer Myself, I Have The Backs Of Our Farmers And Ranchers Who Are Feeding The World.” “My wife and I own and operate a family farm in southern Weld County, playing just a small part in Colorado’s $47 billion agriculture sector. As a beef producer myself, I have the backs of our farmers and ranchers who are feeding the world. Colorado’s 8th Congressional District is a hub for agriculture. Weld County leads the state in agricultural production and is one of the top 10 agricultural counties in the nation. Both Weld and Adams counties are the heart of food processing and transportation in Colorado. Adams County makes 1/3 of Colorado’s gasoline, half the diesel, 1/3 of the jet fuel at Denver International Airport, and 90% of the asphalt for the state. Production in our district helps keep the rest of Colorado fed and moving. I am proud to support policies in Congress that empower Colorado’s farmers and agriculture industry.” [Congressman Gabe Evans, Agriculture and Production, accessed 12/19/25]

Evans’ Home In Weld County Received An Agricultural Tax Designation

Evans’ Property In Weld County Was Designated As Agricultural, Which Entitled Him To “Ongoing Tax Breaks.” Evans’ property in Weld County is designated as ‘agricultural,’ which entitles the congressman ongoing tax breaks. Experts say the key to the agricultural designation — as a farm or ranch — is to show monetary profit, and there are a variety of ways, under Colorado’s rules, that an assessor can conclude that a parcel of land should be considered agricultural and receive the resultant tax breaks.” [Colorado Times Recorder, 6/10/25]
