Republican Shutdown Day One: Gabe Evans Is MIA, Refuses to Do His Job

As America faces a looming health care crisis, Evans and House Republicans remain on vacation, refusing to lower health costs for Americans

As Coloradans wake up to the first day of the Republican shutdown, Gabe Evans and House Republicans can’t be bothered to even come to work.

Millions of Americans are poised to get slapped with massive increases on their health care bills this fall, and poll after poll shows that voters want Congress to restore affordable health care and will hold Republicans responsible for their failed agenda.

But instead of doing their job, Evans and Republicans have chosen to not even show up to work this week, cancelling all votes, shutting the government down, and threatening Americans’ livelihoods in the process.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Gabe Evans helped House Republicans barrel the nation towards a shutdown because they decided that averting skyrocketing health care costs for millions of Americans wasn’t worth their time. Make no mistake, Evans owns this shutdown, and he owns the harm and higher costs facing working Coloradans.”
