Evans cosponsored the resolution, introduced by fellow Colorado Republican Rep. Jeff Crank (CO-05).\n\nThe measure passed 220-192 with Colorado Republicans voting in favor while Colorado Democrat Representatives Jason Crow (CO-06), Brittany Pettersen (CO-07), Diana DeGette (CO-01), and Joe Neguse (CO-02) voted against the resolution.\n\nThe vote comes as Democrat Socialists have gained political ground across the country within the Democratic Party.\n\n\u201cSocialism has failed everywhere it has been tried, yet Democrats continue allowing socialists to gain influence within their party and push their radical agenda on the American people. Today, every member of Congress had a choice: stand for the freedom and opportunity that built this country, or refuse to condemn an ideology responsible for oppression, starvation, and the deaths of millions. I will always stand for the American Dream and against socialism in every form.\u201d \u2014 Congressman Gabe Evans\n\nRepresentative Crank\u2019s resolution denounces socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America and rejects efforts to implement socialist policies in the United States. The resolution also highlights positions advocated by the DSA, including allowing noncitizens and incarcerated individuals to vote in American elections, abolishing law enforcement, the U.S. Senate, and the Supreme Court.\n\nThe resolution reaffirms support for free, fair, and secure elections and the principle that American elections should be decided by American citizens.\n\nBackground:\n\nThis House Resolution resolves that Congress denounces Democrat Socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States.\n\nSocialism has repeatedly led to famine, mass murders, and the killing of over 100 million people worldwide.\n\nFollowing the elections of democratic socialists nationwide, this resolution affirms that House Republicans condemn socialist policies which inevitably lead to tyranny and death and are antithetical to the American Dream.", 1, "2026-09-04T09:19:37Z", "2026-09-04T09:20:58Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://gabeevans.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-gabe-evans-votes-condemn-democrat-socialism"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.674252027645707, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
