Gabe Evans Sends Letter to Governor Polis Demanding Accountability for CDOT Mismanagement | 2025-12-23 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Republican | House | CO | Gabe Evans | E000300 | gabeevans.house.gov | gabeevans | https://gabeevans.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON- Today, Congressman Gabe Evans (R-CO-08) sent a letter to Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Executive Director Shoshana Lew expressing grave concerns over the continued mismanagement of CDOT —demanding immediate corrective action to refocus the agency on core infrastructure priorities that keep Coloradans safe and the economy moving. In the letter, Congressman Gabe Evans highlighted repeated concerns from constituents about worsening road conditions and traffic congestion across Adams, Weld, and Larimer Counties – even as CDOT’s budget has nearly doubled since 2018 under Governor Polis’ administration. Rep. Evans also cited statutory violations identified in CDOT’s own audit, and reports of Federal regulatory violations that could jeopardize Colorado’s access to critical federal transportation funding. An excerpt from the letter reads: “I respectfully urge your offices to take immediate steps to correct the blatant mismanagement that has plagued CDOT under your leadership, restore public trust in CDOT, and ensure good governance in the allocation of taxpayer dollars. The agency's failure to prioritize core infrastructure needs despite record-high budgets and unprecedented federal support— is not just irresponsible, it's indefensible. My constituents deserve a transportation system that works for them, not against them. I will continue to advocate for the communities I serve, whom you have neglected, until CDOT is reoriented toward delivering results that reflect their needs and values.” - Congressman Gabe Evans Key Concerns in Rep. Evans Letter Congressman Evans emphasized a pattern of mismanagement that has left Coloradans paying more to receive less. Working families and businesses are continuously burdened by more than $500 million in taxpayer funded fees in CDOT’s Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget costs, which disproportionately falls onto road users and industries that depend on conventional fuel and freight movement to operate and grow.

Jeff Hurd (CO-03) announced that the Wetlands Conservation and Access Improvement Act (H.R. 2316) has been signed into law by President Trump, the congressman's first bill to do so. The legislation strengthens long-term funding for habitat restoration and wetland conservation while expanding hunting access and supporting healthy ecosystems across the United States. The new law extends the timeline for interest earned on the Wildlife Restoration Fund to accumulate before being spent, allowing these resources to grow and generate additional revenue for conservation in the years ahead. The fund is paid for entirely by hunters and sportsmen through a pre-existing sales tax on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment. “This legislation supports hunters, improves wetland health, and ensures future generations can enjoy the outdoors,” said Rep. Hurd. “I’m honored to deliver this win for our hunters, wildlife, and America’s outdoor heritage. By allowing the Wildlife Restoration Fund to grow before being spent, we’re making a smart investment that will pay dividends for habitat restoration and outdoor access for years to come.” The law also boosts funding for the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA), a proven, bipartisan program that restores wetlands and protects waterfowl habitat across North America. Through strong public-private partnerships, NAWCA has helped conserve over 32 million acres of habitat while expanding outdoor opportunities nationwide.

Crank Votes to Streamline Permitting; Delist Gray Wolves in a Series of Natural Resources Committee Wins on the House Floor | 2025-12-18 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Republican | House | CO | Jeff Crank | C001137 | crank.house.gov | crank | https://crank.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05) voted in favor of a series of Natural Resources Committee passed bills on the House Floor: the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act and the Pet and Livestock Protection Act. The SPEED Act restores fairness and accountability to the federal permitting process by simplifying environmental reviews, curbing abuse of the system by radical actors, placing common-sense limits on judicial review, and establishing predictable timelines for critical infrastructure and energy projects. The Pet and Livestock Protection Act would require the Secretary of Interior to reissue the November 2020 final rule delisting the gray wolf under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), a proposal in which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife has tried to finalize under several Administrations. "Permitting delays hold America back, said Rep. Crank. "Our nation cannot be burdened with never-ending reviews. We must be able to build the projects needed to power our homes and businesses. Until now, we have let onerous permitting regulations handcuff America, allowing other countries to take the lead—offshoring jobs, supply chains, and more. Instead, we let other countries build offshoring jobs, supply chains, and more. The SPEED Act fixes that by streamlining our permitting system and allowing us to deliver on our goal to unleash American energy." "The Endangered Species Act was created as a tool to recover species, not as a weapon to block project development or advance ideological agendas," said Rep. Crank. "Federal species management should be temporary. Instead, radical environmentalists have hijacked the ESA to ignore the scientific fact that the wolf has met recovery goals. Instead, they would keep the wolf listed forever. That is not the purpose of the Endangered Species Act, and it is why Congress is having to legislate species delisting. "The continued litigation against the wolf delisting harms our ranches, farmers, and rural communities who have to c… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

This commonsense legislation modernizes the federal permitting process, cuts red tape, and restores America’s ability to build critical infrastructure while maintaining strong environmental protections. “For far too long, outdated permitting rules have strangled economic growth, driven up costs for families, and delayed the infrastructure projects our communities desperately need. The SPEED Act is a commonsense, bipartisan solution that restores balance and protects the environment while allowing America to build, innovate, and compete.” – Rep. Gabe Evans The SPEED Act would: Streamline and modernize National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews by simplifying overly burdensome analyses Clarify when NEPA applies by refining the definition of “major federal action” Shorten permitting timelines to reduce unnecessary delays Limit abusive litigation by establishing a 150-day deadline for legal challenges Preserve core environmental protections while restoring NEPA to its original procedural purpose The bill passed the House with bipartisan support and is headed to the Senate. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |

Crank Votes to Lower Health Care Premiums | 2025-12-17 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Republican | House | CO | Jeff Crank | C001137 | crank.house.gov | crank | https://crank.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05) voted in favor of the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act. The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act offers solutions to lower premium costs, expand access to quality care, provide every American with more options and flexibility to choose coverage that works for them, and bring greater transparency to America's health care system. "My constituents deserve a health care system which always puts them first," said Rep. Crank. "The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act will give common-sense solutions to restore our nation's health care system and lower premium costs." Background: Appropriates cost-sharing reduction payments to stabilize premiums for eligible individuals on the Marketplace. This lowers premium costs by 11 percent and reduces out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and copays for low-income individuals; Ensures self-insurance remains an affordable and accessible option to small businesses so they can provide quality health care benefits to employees that might otherwise be out of reach for them to offer; Requires pharmacy benefit managers to be transparent with employers on drug formulary and pricing to help businesses negotiate better prices for employees. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |

"State and Federal Democrats broke the American healthcare system — driving up costs for working families and limiting access to affordable health plans while states like Colorado began taking your tax money and paying for healthcare to individuals illegally present in the country. This Republican-led, solution-oriented bill builds on the progress made in the Working Families Tax Cut by putting patients and families first and expanding affordable and reliable healthcare access for all Americans.” — Congressman Gabe Evans Lowering Premiums and Prescription Drug Costs The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act takes direct aim at rising premiums by: Increasing transparency from pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) so employers and workers can see where prescription drug dollars are going and negotiate better prices. Funding cost-sharing reduction payments responsibly, reducing hidden premium increases and stabilizing the individual insurance market. Lowering ACA premiums by an estimated 11 percent, delivering greater savings than temporary subsidy extensions. These reforms are projected to save taxpayers billions of dollars, while reducing out-of-pocket costs for patients and workers. Expanding Affordable Options for Workers, Farmers, and Small Businesses The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act directly addresses the causes of rising health care costs by promoting competition, transparency, and flexibility – especially for workers, farmers, small businesses, and the self-employed. The legislation also expands access to affordable coverage by: Strengthening Association Health Plans, allowing small businesses, family farms, and self-employed workers to band together to purchase lower-cost, hig… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |

Hurd’s Jurisdictional Determination Backlog Reduction Act Passes House as Part of PERMIT Act | 2025-12-16 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Republican | House | CO | Jeff Hurd | H001100 | hurd.house.gov | hurd | https://hurd.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Jeff Hurd’s Jurisdictional Determination Backlog Reduction Act passed the House as part of the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act. The PERMIT Act combines targeted reforms to the Clean Water Act permitting processes to cut red tape, reduce duplicative reviews, and provide greater regulatory certainty while maintaining water quality protections. The Jurisdictional Determination Backlog Reduction Act requires the Army Corps of Engineers to allocate necessary resources to eliminate the existing backlog of thousands of pending jurisdictional determinations and Section 404 permit applications. Farmers, ranchers, small business owners, energy providers, and builders rely on timely jurisdictional determinations to know whether their projects require Clean Water Act permits. The Corps’ current backlog has left thousands of projects in regulatory limbo, adding costs and delays. “Delays in permit approvals are stalling key infrastructure projects in Colorado and across the nation,” said Rep. Hurd. “My bill requires the Army Corps to clear this backlog so communities can get moving on critical projects without unnecessary delays. I’m proud this important legislation passed with the PERMIT Act today, and I’m grateful to Chairman Graves and Chairman Collins for their leadership on cutting red tape that prevents America from building.” The legislation now heads to the Senate for consideration.

These payments will provide much-needed relief until the historic wins Rep. Evans helped deliver through the Working Families Tax Cut Act reach farmers. The program, announced by President Trump alongside U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, will deliver up to $11 billion in funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture directly to row-crop carters who are growing barley, chickpeas, corn, cotton, lentils, oats, peanuts, peas, rice, sorghum, soybeans, wheat, canola, mustard, sunflower, and other eligible crops. An additional $1 billion is being set aside to support farmers of non-covered and certain specialty crops. Important Deadline Approaching To qualify, farmers must ensure that their 2025 acreage reports are accurate and updated with their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office by 5:00 PM on Friday, December 19, 2025. No crop insurance linkage is required for this program. Support for Specialty Crop Growers Producers who grow commodities that are not listed, including specialty crops, may still qualify for assistance if they can demonstrate losses related to market disruptions or increased production costs. Farmers who believe they may be eligible are encouraged to contact Congressman Evans’ office for guidance. How to Receive Assistance Farmers should take the following steps: Visit your local FSA office and confirm your 2025 acreage report before December 19, 2025 at 5 PM.

The legislation will ensure states take long-term energy reliability and affordability into account when designing utility policies — helping drive down the soaring electricity costs burdening families across Colorado and the nation. “For years Colorado’s ruling Democrats have pushed out-of-touch policies and burdensome regulations that have led to skyrocketing energy bills and increased financial strain, resulting in further mental and physical stress on hard-working families across the state. This legislation puts Coloradans first by holding state regulatory entities like Colorado Public Utilities Commission accountable by new federal standards, to ensure they are focused on considering energy reliability and affordability. I’m proud to lead the charge on legislation that lowers costs, uplifts working-class Americans, and strengthens our nation's energy dominance.” — Congressman Gabe Evans Under H.R. 3628, states must evaluate whether their integrated resource plans maintain sufficient reliable generation or the procurement of electricity from reliable generation facilities, defined as facilities capable of supplying electricity continuously for at least 30 days, including during severe weather, and capable of providing essential grid services such as frequency and voltage support. Background Representative Evans has continually criticized Colorado Democrats’ state-level policy decisions that have accelerated the dismantling of dependable resources and energy freedoms, and forced ratepayers to pay higher costs while concurrently creating significant reliability risks. In recent years, Colorado utilities have reported capacity shortfalls, and businesses across the state have reported frequent outages that disrupt operations, including advanced technology companies requiring constant power to compete in fields like quantum computing and AI.

Evans’, Gray’s bipartisan FIRE Act passes through E&C’s Environment Subcommittee. | 2025-12-11 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Republican | House | CO | Gabe Evans | E000300 | gabeevans.house.gov | gabeevans | https://gabeevans.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON — Today, Reps Gabe Evans’ (CO-08) and Adam Gray’s (CA-13) bipartisan Fire Improvement and Reforming Exceptional Events (FIRE) Act, H.R. 6387 passed through the Energy and Commerce, Environment subcommittee. The newly introduced legislation will ensure that states are not punished for the smoke and emissions they cannot control, while still maintaining strong environmental protections. The bill works to provide clarity and predictability for air quality planning, reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens on manufacturers and communities, and reward proactive wildfire mitigation that protects public health and improves air quality for future generations. “A leading reason for the affordability crisis facing Coloradans is red tape around air quality permitting. When the economy is strangled under the weight of costly, poorly designed ozone attainment standards, jobs are lost, prices spike, and financial stress increases negative health outcomes. Clean air is important to everyone, but Colorado jobs should not be penalized for emissions outside of their control — whether it's Canadian wildfires or Chinese pollution. My bill, the FIRE Act, is a common-sense solution that will drive down costs for working families in Colorado by clarifying that Clean Air Act benchmarks should not be used to punish jobs and hamstring the economy for things like prescribed burns or out-of-state wildfire smoke.” — Congressman Gabe Evans Background: For years, areas along the Front Range of Colorado have consistently struggled to meet ozone attainment levels set by the federal Clean Air Act. The resulting red tape around air quality permitting and the regulations that Colorado’s ruling Democrats slap onto the industry, the economy and consumers, are a leading cause of the affordability crisis that working families in Colorado District 8 are facing. When the economy is strangled under the weight of costly and poorly designed ozone attainment standards, jobs are lost, prices spike, and financial stress increases negative mental … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |

Hurd’s Snowpack Bill Marks Step Forward for Colorado Forecasting | 2025-12-11 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Republican | House | CO | Jeff Hurd | H001100 | hurd.house.gov | hurd | https://hurd.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON - Rep. Hurd secured a major legislative victory with House passage of the Snowpack Water Supply Forecasting Reauthorization Act (H.R. 3857), his second bill to advance through the chamber. The bill, which passed with bipartisan support, reauthorizes and updates the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program to incorporate modern technologies, including LiDAR and satellite imagery, to improve the accuracy of snowpack and water-supply predictions. In Colorado’s Third District—where agriculture, recreation, and municipal water systems rely heavily on snowpack—accurate forecasting is critical for irrigation planning, drought management, and annual water allocation. The bill supports the use of advanced tools capable of producing three-dimensional models of snowpack conditions, enabling water managers to better anticipate spring runoff and make more informed decisions about water storage and distribution. “We cannot manage what we cannot measure. Water is life in the West, and accurate data is how we manage it,” said Rep. Hurd. “Families, ranchers, and water managers across CO-03 make critical decisions every day based on snowpack forecasts—decisions that affect their livelihoods and our communities. This bill gives them better tools and more reliable information to plan with. I’m grateful to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for supporting this commonsense legislation.” "Mountain snowpack is a vital source of freshwater that many states across America rely upon. H.R. 3857 will increase the accuracy of snowpack measurements and allow the usage of emerging technologies," said House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman. "I commend Rep. Hurd for his commitment to ensure that America has accurate information on freshwater sources." “Today’s passage of the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Reauthorization Act is a crucial step to improve forecasting and available data for snowpack and water supply monitoring,” said Congressman Neguse. “I’m proud to join Rep.

As a former cop, Congressman Evans knows — this fight is personal. During his five-minute speech, Rep. Evans took to the mic to detail his firsthand experience and highlight the attacks against Coloradans who walk the thin blue line. Read highlights below or watch the full video here. “I was a cop for ten years in the Denver metro area. The reason I am in Congress is because in 2020 the ruling democrats in Colorado passed a bill that took the first steps toward defunding law enforcement and toward making cops guilty until they proved themselves innocent. [...] I watched my cops suffer. I buried countless others when I was on the honor guard. And in terms of refusing to condemn physical or political violence — I will remind everyone of two votes that happened earlier this year where every single member of the United States House of Representative voted to condemn the murder of a Democrat leader in Minnesota. But 118 of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle could not vote to condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk. [...] When cops are handcuffed, it's the cops who suffer. And not only is it the cops who suffer, it's the low-income and the minority communities that suffer. [...] My district is 40% Hispanic. You know who suffers when we don't have law enforcement to keep our communities safe? It's my low-income and my minority communities. [...] Colorado has led the nation more years than not the last 5 years in auto theft. You know what happens when one of my Hispanic trade workers gets their vehicle stolen? Not only are they out of vehicle, they've lost their job because they can't show up to the job site tomorrow to do the work. I've seen this happen because I've taken those reports.

Gabe Evans. “I’m proud to co-lead the PCS Leave for Military Spouse Federal Workers Act which codifies the Office of Personnel Management's guidance and ensures that servicemembers’ husbands and wives working at a federal agency receive at least five days administrative leave when given PCS orders.” “When a servicemember gets orders to relocate, their spouse should not have to exhaust their personal time off or forgo pay just to move,” said Rep. Andrea Salinas. “Our bill ensures that military spouses employed by the federal government have the paid leave they need to relocate with the dignity, stability, and support they deserve. This assistance allows families to manage the practical realities of relocating — like enrolling their children in new schools, finding childcare, and setting up a new home — without added strain.” “Our 2023 national survey shows that active-duty spouses who are employed full time are more likely to report excellent family well-being, yet too many lose income or employment stability when the military requires a move. Ensuring a window of administrative leave is a meaningful way to support military spouses, strengthen financial stability, and recognize the essential role that military families play in the readiness of our all-volunteer force.” — Shannon Razsadin, Military Family Advisory Network CEO. “Supporting military families means recog… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |

Crank Votes to Protect Small Businesses, Cut Red Tape and Costs for Main Street | 2025-12-03 | 2025 | 2025-12 | Republican | House | CO | Jeff Crank | C001137 | crank.house.gov | crank | https://crank.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05) voted in favor of The DUMP Red Tape Act and the Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act which both work to protect Main Street America. The Destroying Unnecessary, Misaligned, and Prohibitive (DUMP) Red Tape Act gives small businesses a direct line to the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Advocacy to report burdensome regulations that are affecting their businesses. The Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act requires the SBA to ensure that any new SBA regulations cost small businesses ZERO dollars. "It is imperative that we make it easier for small businesses to grow and thrive in our communities," said Rep. Jeff Crank. "These two bills will ultimately set up our local Colorado businesses to cut through red tape and ensure no business owners are burdened with extra costs that come with new rules coming out of Washington, DC.” Background: DUMP Red Tape Act: Small businesses need a permanent hotline to share how federal regulations and other agency actions may impact their ability to operate and grow. Requires Advocacy to annually report the feedback received through the hotline. Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act: The Biden-Harris Administration imposed a historic $1.8 trillion in increased regulatory costs on businesses, while crushing the American economy with record-high inflation. In response, President Trump issued Executive Order 14192, “Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation,” to alleviate American businesses from overly burdensome regulations. As the backbone of our economy, Main Street and local businesses need assurance that it can continue to grow without unnecessary costs. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |

As a father, I know how important it is that we do everything possible to protect our kids and future generations. With social media becoming increasingly prevalent and accessible to children in our country, it is more vital now than ever that we address the ways deadly drugs like fentanyl are trafficked into our communities so that we can keep young people and families safe.” — Congressman Gabe Evans “Having personally witnessed the danger of the opioid crisis in my own family, I have seen its devastating consequences and know we must do everything we can to combat it on all fronts. Unfortunately, we are seeing newer ways that young people are finding and buying fentanyl, including on social media. There must be safeguards in place to prevent kids from accessing fentanyl so easily through these platforms. This legislation will make sure we better understand how social media is contributing to the opioid crisis, and what we can do to address it.” — Congresswoman Dingell The report required under the No Fentanyl on Social Media Act would examine not only instances where minors explicitly seek out the purchase of fentanyl on social media, but also cases where they unknowingly receive counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl or fentanyl analogues. The report will assess platform design features, trafficking tactics, the effectiveness of platform policies, and actions taken by law enforcement, medical experts and others to combat this crisis.

The House Concurrent Resolution, titled Denouncing the Horrors of Socialism passed with broad bipartisan support, despite members of Colorado’s own delegation — Reps. Diana DeGette (CO-01) and Joe Neguse (CO-02) — voting against it. “I joined my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to denounce Socialism in all its forms. As the only Latino member of Colorado’s congressional delegation representing a district that is 40% Hispanic, I’ve heard firsthand about the consequences that socialist policies have on families. Countries like Cuba, the Soviet Union, and Venezuela have all suffered at the hands of this extremist ideology — leading to poverty, famine, and other humanitarian devastation. We must condemn the toxic system of Socialism that enables authoritarians like Castro, Maduro, and Chavez to strip away the natural rights of all people and continue to support the principles of liberty, economic freedom, and prosperity that allow our citizens to pursue the American Dream.” - Congressman Gabe Evans Background: This House Concurrent Resolution resolves that Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States. Socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide. Following the recent election of a democratic socialist, Zohran Mamdani, to be the next mayor of New York City, this resolution affirms that House Republicans and Democrats condemn socialist policies which inevitably lead to tyranny and death and are antithetical to the American Dream. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |

Gabe Evans (CO-08), Lauren Boebert (CO-04), and Jeff Crank (CO-05) sent a letter to Governor Jared Polis following his September 17th response to their request for a second special legislative session focused on Colorado's escalating crime crisis. The members urged the Governor to stop directing blame and work collaboratively to implement meaningful public safety solutions. An excerpt from the letter reads: “We received your September 17th response to our calls to address Colorado’s crime wave with a second special legislative session. While incredibly disappointed that you, the most powerful elected official in a state with a $44 billion dollar budget, chose to blame everyone and everything except your own policies and your record — we know that our constituents’ lives are too important to play political games with. Coloradans deserve to live free of fear in their own homes and communities without having their very safety turned into a game of ‘gotcha.’” — Representatives Gabe Evans, Lauren Boebert and Jeff Crank “As a former cop in Colorado, I’ve seen firsthand how Polis’s policies have put criminals ahead of Coloradans and weakened public safety across our state,” said Rep Evans.“Colorado now ranks as the second most dangerous state in the nation, and families are paying the price. It’s time for the Governor to take accountability for the crisis he created, put public safety first, and work alongside us on real solutions that protect our communities.” “Colorado is now one of the most dangerous states in America because of the Democrat’s pro-crime policies,” said Rep Boebert. “Criminals are emboldened, families live in fear, and the Governor refuses to use the tools and resources available to protect them. It’s time to stop making excuses and start protecting Coloradans.” “As the governor of Colorado, Polis needs to own up to the crime wave that he has created,” said Rep.

This bill would address the healthcare affordability crisis by extending the enhanced premium tax credits (PTCs) for two years and adding new income caps and guardrails against fraud in the process. “Families across Colorado are already stretched thin by high health-care costs, and without action from Congress, premiums are set to rise sharply at the end of this year. I joined this bipartisan effort because doing nothing would leave too many families in rural communities facing unaffordable increases that they cannot absorb. The HOPE Act provides a temporary, responsible extension of the current premium tax credits so families do not see sudden cost spikes through no fault of their own. This bill also includes the strongest guardrails ever applied to the ACA Exchanges. We crack down on fraudulent brokers and misleading marketing practices, require documented consumer consent for plan changes, expand audit requirements, and remove ‘ghost beneficiaries’ by directing regular checks against the federal Death Master File. These reforms protect taxpayers, strengthen program integrity, and prevent vulnerable consumers from being taken advantage of. The HOPE Act is a practical, bipartisan solution that maintains affordability, enhances transparency, and improves accountability while Congress works toward long-term reforms that will make our health-care system more stable and more affordable. I will continue working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pursue responsible, commonsense solutions that put families first,” said Congressman Hurd. “The number one issue in our country is affordability. The rising price of health care is a pressing concern for Americans who want both parties to work together to deliver relief,” said Congressman Suozzi. “Time is running out for people of good faith to bro… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

This bill ensures that airports can access these critical funds to keep our airports safe and efficient. “Airports are critical gateways for commerce, tourism, and connectivity in communities across Colorado and the nation,” said Rep. Hurd. “By expanding their access to TIFIA financing, we can help airports of all sizes invest in the infrastructure improvements needed to serve passengers safely and efficiently, all without placing undue burden on local taxpayers. I’m grateful to Rep. Garamendi for his leadership on this issue and for working with me to advance this bipartisan effort to strengthen airport infrastructure nationwide.” “Four years ago, when Congress passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure and Jobs Act, it included my critical provision to make low-interest federal financing available to modernize our nation’s airports. Because of that provision, Sacramento International Airport received $36.1 million in low-cost financing, delivering essential infrastructure improvements for travelers in my district,” said Rep. Garamendi. “Today, I’m proud to join Rep. Hurd in introducing the Airport TIFIA Financing Certainty Act, which would expand and make permanent this successful loan program—helping ensure our airports are efficient, clean, and, most importantly, safe for the millions of Americans who rely on them every day.” “U.S. airports face $173.9 billion in infrastructure needs over the next five years.

The Regional Leadership in Wildland Fire Research Act would establish research centers at higher education institutions across the country to support wildfire research and develop new technologies to enhance wildfire preparedness. “As a former Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter pilot who has fought Colorado wildfires, I know how critical it is to support wildfire research that reflects the unique risks facing each region,” said Rep. Evans. “This bipartisan effort will strengthen the development of mitigation strategies, and give states the tools they need to protect our communities and natural landscapes for generations to come.” “Wildfires are becoming more deadly, and without strong research and modern tools to address these growing threats, our communities will continue to pay the price,” said Rep.

The SBA disaster declaration covers Rio Blanco, Garfield, Moffat, and Routt counties in Colorado. Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million are available with interest rates as low as 4% for businesses and 3.625% for nonprofits, with terms up to 30 years. The loans can cover payroll, operating expenses, and other bills that businesses would have been able to pay if the disaster had not occurred. Interest does not accrue, and payments are not due for 12 months from the first loan disbursement. “I’m grateful to the SBA for providing this critical lifeline to help the small businesses and nonprofits that are the backbone of Rio Blanco County’s economy get back on their feet,” said Rep. Hurd. “The Lee and Elk Fires caused tremendous damage to our community, and many business owners have been struggling to cover basic operating expenses. These loans will provide the working capital they need to keep their doors open and continue serving our neighbors during this recovery period.” Beginning December 1, the SBA will open a Business Recovery Center at Meeker Town Hall to assist with applications. SBA representatives will be available to answer questions and help business owners navigate the application process. The center will be open Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, through December 12. “Business owners shouldn’t wait to reach out,” Rep. Hurd added. “Even if you’re uncertain about your eligibility, SBA staff are ready to guide you through the process and connect you with the resources you need.” Businesses can apply online at sba.gov/disaster or call (800) 659-2955.

I will always stand with the victims, and pursuing justice for them will continue to guide my decisions. While transparency is essential, we must be sensitive to the survivors who are not yet ready to have their information shared publicly.

Epstein is a high-profile case involving serious charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy. The case was dismissed following Epstein's death, and since then, serious efforts have been made to make various documents related to the case publicly available. H.R. 4405, The Epstein Files Transparency Act was brought to the floor after House Res. 581, introduced by Thomas Massie (KY-04), reached 218 signatures — bypassing leadership and triggering a mandatory vote. Earlier this Congress, Representative Evans voted to pass H.Res.688; authorizing the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to request all Department of Justice (DOJ) documents related to Epstein, as well as estate and bank records from the Department of the Treasury. This resolution included binding subpoena authority, 11 deposition subpoenas, and 3 written declarations, while providing sufficient protections for the privacy of the victims. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |

This funding will provide vital access to care and restore deserved independence for the veterans who call this facility home.” These new vehicles will provide safe, climate-controlled transportation for veterans accessing specialty healthcare services at the center, participating in outdoor recreation, attending community events, and taking historical trips. They will also serve additional patient transportation needs across SPRHC’s extremely rural service area. ### | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Today House Republicans are ending the Schumer shutdown, reopening our government, and fully funding three full-year appropriations bills that put America first by strengthening military and veteran programs, supporting our farmers and agricultural producers, and protecting vital resources like SNAP and WIC. I’m proud to vote for this package that restores certainty and critical services to Colorado’s 8th District.” - Congressman Gabe Evans Today’s vote: ✅ Reopens the government immediately with a bipartisan CR. ✅ Guarantees backpay for federal workers, service members, law enforcement, and air traffic controllers. ✅ Immediately and fully funds SNAP ✅ Fully funds FY26 appropriations for Military Construction- VA, Agriculture, and the Legislative Branch. Background: On September 19th, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a clean bipartisan CR that would fully fund the government and ensure vital resources like SNAP and WIC benefits remained available for those who rely on them. The bill was sent to the Senate, where for over six weeks Democrats, including Colorado’s Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, voted against the bill 15 times despite voting for the same bill 13 times under the Biden administration. During this period, the Democrats’ shutdown denied paychecks to troops, air traffic controllers, federal law enforcement, and other federal workers, created uncertainty for families d… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |

The U.S. Forest Service drained the reservoir in 2024, leaving the city and local agricultural producers without a critical water supply. This bill enables Ouray to take ownership, repair Full Moon Dam, and refill the reservoir—restoring an essential water source, wildfire response asset, and beloved recreation destination. “Crystal Reservoir has served Ouray for over 90 years, providing essential water storage, supporting wildfire response, and offering recreation opportunities families treasure,” said Rep. Hurd. “Ouray is ready to take on the responsibility of restoring it. This legislation allows local leaders to repair the dam and ensure this resource serves the community for generations to come.” The conveyance occurs at no cost to the city in exchange for assuming all future costs and liability. The bill includes strong protections for: • Permanent free public access for recreation, fishing, and trails • No commercial development except for dam operations • Land maintained as open space in perpetuity • Compliance with Colorado water law • Reversionary clause if terms are violated The legislation is supported by the City of Ouray, Towns of Ridgway and Silverton, Ouray and San Juan Counties, Ouray County Sheriff, Colorado River District, Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership, Trust for Land Restoration, Ouray Trail Group, and numerous local organizations.

The principles focus on a temporary extension with reasonable income caps and reform. Hurd, Bacon, Suozzi, and Gottheimer released the following quote: “Congress is gridlocked, and too many Americans have lost faith that we can work together. But here’s the truth: Democrats and Republicans can sit down, listen to one another, and find common ground, especially when it comes to lowering health care costs. We may not agree on every ideal outcome, but we’ve identified a fair, reasonable path forward on the future of the Affordable Care Act’s Enhanced Premium Tax Credits. Compromise isn’t rocket science, and it shouldn’t be treated like a weakness. Our hope is that this shared statement of principles will inspire bipartisan collaboration across Washington and help get Congress back to work for the American people.” Below, find the statement of principles: Principles to Temporarily Extend and Reform Affordable Care Act Enhanced Premium Tax Credits · Temporary: A two-year extension of APTCs · Income Cap: An income cap phased out between $200,000 and $400,000. · Reform: Guardrails to prevent improper payments of APTCs Prevent “Ghost Beneficiaries”: Requirements that ACA marketplaces confirm recipient eligibility with the Death Master File Crack Down on Fraud: Establish a “preponderance of evidence” standard of proof to determine when an agent or broker should be allowed to continue operating in the ACA marketplaces Enhance Delivery Clarity: Requirements that marketplaces better notify recipients of the value of APTCs they are receiving from the federal government ### | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

"These commissioners are pleading with you and your colleagues – including Sens. Hickenlooper and Bennet – to put politics aside and pass the clean CR to avert a SNAP crisis. With SNAP primarily administered at the county level, these commissioners are on the front lines, seeing the direct impacts of this shutdown on their community.

Evans, Boebert, Crank and Hurd This week, 36 commissioners representing 17 different counties and nearly 2 million Coloradans signed onto an open letter to the United States Senate, urging them to pass the clean CR approved by the House of Representatives on September 19th. They cited their concerns over the upcoming expiration of SNAP benefits in November and the needs of their constituents. Reps. Evans, Boebert, Crank and Hurd sent their own letter to Minority Leader Schumer echoing the concerns of these commissioners and imploring Sen. Schumer to work with his fellow Senate Democrats to support the clean CR and reopen the government as fast as possible. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |

It is encouraging to see so much overlap with the Problem Solvers Caucus Permitting Reform Framework, released last month. This alignment underscores broad bipartisan agreement on key reforms, including: Adopting a common interagency digital permitting system to streamline and modernize the process Urging FERC to take a stronger role in permitting transmission, while reforming the broken National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor System Expanding categorical exclusions in low-disturbance areas such as existing rights of way, low-disturbance transmission and generation, and geothermal exploration Reforming the National Environmental Policy Act by better encouraging early community engagement, streamlining the litigation process, and ensuring that federal funding alone cannot subject applicants to onerous federal reviews Making it easier to permit nuclear energy production projects This letter is a wake-up call to Congress that our states need us to act on permitting reform to ensure we can meet energy demand, reduce costs, and compete against China in energy innovation. Our bipartisan Permitting Reform Framework is a roadmap to do just that. We look forward to working with the National Governors Association as part of the growing coalition focused on meeting today’s environmental challenges investing in a secure grid for this century. We will continue working with our colleagues in Congress to pass commonsense permitting reform into law.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |

Evans was joined by Representatives Julie Fedorchak (R-ND), Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), Troy Downing (R-MT), Dusty Johnson (R-SD), Derek Schmidt (R-KS), Jeff Hurd (R-CO), and August Pfluger (R-TX). In the letter, they highlight how American ranchers supply the world’s highest-quality beef and should not be undercut by foreign imports produced under lower standards. They call on the administration to ensure that any future trade decisions are made with “full transparency, sound science, and a firm commitment to the U.S. cattle industry.” “Weld County leads Colorado and ranks among the top in the nation for agricultural production, raising some of the highest quality beef in the world. While Republicans and the Administration have worked to support our producers through efforts like the Working Families Tax Cut Act, the proposal to purchase Argentinian beef raises serious concerns. Colorado farmers and ranchers deserve leaders who will stand with them, especially in the face of Governor Polis and state Democrats’ relentless anti-ag policies. That’s why I’m working with the President to reduce grocery prices and tirelessly advocate for U.S. beef." - Congressman Gabe Evans “We’ve all received a number of questions and calls from our constituents over the last few days, so we are asking for clarity on the administration’s long-term plans. Our farmers and ranchers stand ready to deliver on the President’s America-First agenda. North Dakotans take great pride in producing the safest, highest-quality beef in the world—and we should be building on that success.

Lauren Boebert (CO-04), Gabe Evans (CO-08), and Jeff Hurd (CO-03), sent a letter to Colorado Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper, urging them to support the clean Continuing Resolution (CR). "Obviously, we want them to do what they've done 13 times in the Biden Administration and many times throughout their career," Crank told CBS Colorado. "That is to simply continue with what is called a clean, continuing resolution. But it just basically says that we are going to continue funding government at its current level to give us more time to get some of these appropriations bills done." Excerpts from the letter read: "Throughout your years in public service, both of you have supported clean CRs as a responsible way to keep the government open while Congress continues negotiations on long-term, bipartisan funding bills—including 13 times under the Biden administration. Your recent votes depart from that precedent and risk undermining the stability and reliability of the institutions you have long defended. "This shutdown is already having tangible effects across Colorado.

President Trump rightfully directed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to ensure military servicemembers do not miss a paycheck as a result of the Democrat-driven government shutdown. As the shutdown drags into its 17th day, Rep. Evans and his colleagues expressed congressional support for reported OMB efforts to provide shutdown pay to federal law enforcement as a next step. An excerpt from the letter reads: “Federal law enforcement are currently performing dangerous, mission-critical work without pay—including Border Patrol, ICE agents, CBP officers, DEA, Secret Service, Federal Air Marshals, and Transportation Security Officers… This is especially true in this climate of increasingly hateful rhetoric and violence directed at these officers—from the recent sniper assault on an ICE facility in Dallas to the nationwide harassment, endangerment, and doxxing of federal agents by extremist groups like Antifa, and by cartels placing assassination bounties on law enforcement officials,” - the Members wrote.

The letter is in response to Senate Democrats decision to vote against the Continuing Resolution (CR) after the eighth round of voting, refusing to work alongside Republicans to fund the government and instead choosing to hold the country hostage over a $1.5 trillion deficit spending partisan wish list. This reckless form of legislating is punishing America’s working-class families who, through no fault of their own, are facing missed paychecks and mounting financial strain. Congressman Evans’ letter thanks the banks and credit unions that have taken the initiative to implement temporary financial relief programs, while actively calling on other financial institutions to demonstrate solidarity, by respectfully urging their members to waive penalties, suspend late fees, and provide additional immediate relief that safeguards the financial well-being of Coloradans across the state. An excerpt from the letter reads: "On September 30th, 2025, Senate Democrats failed to join unified Republicans on voting in favor of the Continuing Resolution (CR). This decision, spearheaded by Senate Minority Leader Schumer, caused a lapse in appropriations and now hardworking civil servants and brave men and women in uniform are left to deal with the devastating financial implications… I respectfully urge and request that your members implement compassionate and proactive measures to support servicemembers and federal workers during this government shutdown. These temporary relief measures will enable families that are missing paychecks to financially recover and come out stronger once Senate Democrats decide to join Republicans in protecting the working class.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |

Companion legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senators Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) making the bill both bipartisan and bicameral. The Hiring Preferences for Veterans and Americans with Disabilities Act empowers state and local jurisdictions to give hiring preference to veterans, individuals with disabilities, and nonresident military spouses or dependents when selecting election workers. It also ensures military spouses and dependents cannot be denied these roles solely on the grounds that they do not maintain residency in the jurisdiction. “As an Army veteran and former cop, I’ve seen firsthand how our military families contribute to Colorado’s communities,” said Congressman Gabe Evans. “As a former state legislator, I championed initiatives to support and expand opportunities for the disability community. This commonsense, bipartisan legislation helps to not only continue those efforts but gives our veterans and their families the chance to continue serving our country — this time by safeguarding our right to vote.” “Our veterans and military families deserve every opportunity available because they have made significant sacrifices for the American people.” — Congressman Don Davis “America’s veterans put their lives on the line in defense of our freedoms, and as they transition to civilian life after coming home, it’s critical we ensure they can find purpose, community, and opportunity.

Meanwhile, Democrats abandoned the American people, played political games, and forced a shutdown over a $1.5 trillion spending spree and free healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Gabe Evans. “I’m calling on my colleagues in the Senate to pass the House’s continuing resolution instead of holding our government hostage over a wishlist of radical spending demands.” On September 19, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the federal government through November 21, 2025. The measure included full funding for the military, veterans, and key government services. Passing the CR would keep the government open and allow Congress to continue advancing full-year appropriations bills through regular order. However, Senate Democrats blocked this effort in a show of political grandstanding, with all but one voting against it. In his letter to the Chief Administrative Officer of the House, Catherine Szpindor, Rep. Evans wrote: “I’ve been a cop and solider the majority of my adult life. Like other working-class families, I rely on my paycheck to feed my kids and pay my mortgage. As a public servant, I will stand in solidarity with my military brothers and sisters and other federal employees who will be without a paycheck until Democrats agree to open the government.” If Senate Democrats continue to reject the House-passed bill, the consequences for Colorado families will be severe: Servicemembers and DoD civilians in Colorado will miss paychecks. Staffing gaps at TSA and FAA could lead to delays and longer lines at Denver International Airport. Coloradans who rely on nutrition assistance could face processing delays if the shutdown drags on. The Small Business Administration would suspend new loans, impacting rural businesses and farmers mid-harvest.

The legislation establishes new grant programs to help state and local law enforcement agencies and non-profits stop fentanyl dealers, protect officers in the field and educate young people about the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit drugs. The Combatting Fentanyl Poisonings Act authorizes three targeted grant programs: $10 million for state and local law enforcement to track down and arrest fentanyl dealers who target youth online and to provide training to schools, clinicians and the public on prevention. $3 million for non profits focused on youth education, helping cover costs for educational materials, bringing families of victims to speak directly to students, and distributing lifesaving Narcan while explicitly prohibiting funding for controversial harm-reduction tools such as drug test strips, smoking kits, or needles. $2 million for state and local law enforcement to equip officers with lifesaving tools like Narcan protective gear and portable testing devices to keep themselves and their colleagues safe in the field Additionally, this bill is budget neutral and does not authorize new spending, instead carving out these programs from the existing Byrne-JAG grant funding under the Department of Justice. Colorado’s fentanyl problem has increasingly worsened over the last 12 years. In 2023 alone 425.6 kilograms were confiscated — that’s enough to kill every Coloradan 36 times. “As a former cop in Colorado, I know firsthand how our states' soft-on-crime policies have led to the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl into our communities. This legislation will help to educate families, while giving our law enforcement the tools and critical resources they need to combat this and keep Coloradans safe. Everyone deserves to live in a community free from the threat of fentanyl poisonings.” - Congressman Gabe Evans “Tens of thousands of America… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

"Under the Biden-Harris Administration, our hard-working American families experienced raised electricity costs," said Rep. Crank. "House Republicans are working to ensure that energy costs remain low, while also ensuring the stability of the bulk power system can fuel the next generation.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

As momentum builds for Congress to act on permitting reform, the recommendations in this framework offer a commonsense, two-party roadmap to streamline the permitting process, boost energy production of all kinds, and give investors the clarity and confidence they need to invest in America. This framework was developed by the Problem Solvers Caucus Permitting, Energy & Environment Working Group, led by Gabe Evans (CO-08) and Reps. Scott Peters (CA-50), along with Co-Chairs Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) and Tom Suozzi (NY-03). The framework reflects months of bipartisan collaboration with energy producers, industry experts, Members across committees of jurisdiction, and stakeholders across the political spectrum. It lays out a path forward to update the permitting system so the United States can compete globally and remain a responsible steward of the environment. With the country poised to see one of the largest increases in energy demand in decades, Congress needs to act now. Communities and businesses across the country are facing rising costs and growing demand for affordable, reliable energy. Yet, too many projects remain stalled for years — some more than a decade — due to outdated regulations, duplicative reviews, and endless litigation, stifling innovation and driving up costs for families. Key elements of the framework include: • Cutting red tape for linear infrastructure projects • Meeting growing energy demand across sectors • Reforming outdated and duplicative NEPA requirements • Establishing clear, enforceable permitting deadlines • Strengthening domestic supply chains The full framework can be viewed here. “Reforming our permitting system is crucial, and this framework meets the moment for much-needed change. The demand for affordable and reliable energy of all kinds becomes increasingly urgent. By cutting through red tape, we can meet energy demand, lower costs, strength… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz for launching the landmark $50 billion Rural Healthcare Transformation Program (RHTP). The program was made possible through the Working Families Tax Cuts, which Congressman Evans voted for in July, and funds the single largest investment in rural healthcare in American history. The funds are available to Colorado upon request. “The Working Family Tax Cuts provided historic funding for rural communities, and as someone who lives in a rural Colorado town, I know firsthand how important this funding is to rural health. Republicans’ investment delivers on our promise to strengthen rural health and provide better health outcomes for patients. I urge the state to apply for this program and use all the tools available to keep Coloradans healthy.”- Congressman Gabe Evans The strategic funding structure will designate $25 billion to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to be equally distributed to states, while the remaining $25 billion will be made available to states through an application process, with funds awarded based on rural need and state-specific factors. Starting in 2026, the program will deliver $10 billion annually. The RHTP will require a one time application process, giving state governors the opportunity to submit bold proposals tailored to the state's rural communities. As such, Congressman Evans urges Governor Jared Polis to apply for this money he helped secure. The historic investment will completely reshape health care in rural America, investing in workforce retention, sustainable access, innovative CMS, new technology and updated investments in modern medicine. The RHTP will: ✅Support rural health innovations and new access points to promote preventative health and address root causes of diseases. ✅Help rural providers become long-term access points for care by improving efficiency and sustainability. ✅Attract and retain a highly skilled healt… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |

According to a recent survey, 54% of Coloradans reported not feeling safe – worse than the national average. The same survey found that 65% of Coloradans worry about violent crime on a daily basis, and that 65% of Coloradans also worry about property crime on a daily basis. Our constituents deserve better than incremental change, lip service, and broken promises when it comes to public safety – they deserve robust and common-sense approaches that prioritize the protection of our communities.” - Representatives Gabe Evans, Lauren Boebert and Jeff Crank The letter is in response to the recent imminent release of a potentially dangerous individual in Weld County — a move that made national headlines and received immense scrutiny. This, along with several years of public safety failures, are a direct result of bills like HB24-1034, which Congressman Evans voted against but Governor Polis signed into law. Additionally, the letter demands Governor Polis call a second special legislative session, this time for the sole purpose of addressing crime in Colorado. The three congressmembers suggest repealing or reforming several of the bills that Polis has signed that: Undermine law enforcement's ability to keep communities safe SB21-131, SB25-276 Eliminate cash bail for certain offenses HB19-1225 Reduce penalties for crimes such as repeat retail theft and auto theft SB21-71 Read the full letter here.

Congressman Evans also secured an amendment to the NDAA, which would identify gaps in America’s defense supply chain. The amendment requires the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to join an independent review of the infiltration and implications of non-domestic manufacturing equipment and software programs supplying to the U.S. defense industrial base. Currently, members of the US military-industrial supply chain rely on equipment and software that originates from places like China and Russia, allowing for potential backdoors into defense supply chains. “As a veteran I know firsthand the importance of prioritizing America’s strong military presence across the globe. This National Defense Authorization Act restores America’s military superiority, ends virtue signaling programs like DEI that endanger our troops by detracting from perishable warfighting skills, and shifts the focus back where it belongs — our service members and national security.

"Today, we are pleased to report that our steadfast advocacy for Coloradans has made a meaningful difference. What was once expected to result in the loss of more than 1,700 jobs will now likely only impact approximately 1,000 positions in total. This marks a significant improvement from the original projection. Further, important operational elements of Space Command will remain in Colorado Springs, preserving much of the economic driver for our region. "We have also confirmed the move will take significant time to complete, and in the intervening years, the Department of War's presence in Colorado is expected to continue its rapid growth. This includes the Space Force, which has grown by 1,500 personnel in Colorado since 2019, and is expected to grow an additional 500 positions in the next few years. Therefore, the growth of our Space Force operations has outpaced any loss.

Hurd Co-Sponsors Legislation to Prevent Soaring Health Care Premiums for Thousands of Coloradans | 2025-09-05 | 2025 | 2025-09 | Republican | House | CO | Jeff Hurd | H001100 | hurd.house.gov | hurd | https://hurd.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. — This week, Rep. Jeff Hurd (CO-03) co-sponsored the Bipartisan Premium Tax Credit Extension Act, a bill to protect Colorado families, seniors, and small business owners from massive health care premium increases. Under current law, the enhanced Premium Tax Credit—established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), expanded during COVID under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), and later extended through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)—is set to expire at the end of this year. The COVID pandemic is over and these tax credits should end, but there must be a reasonable approach so hardworking families can continue to afford healthcare. “Families in Colorado shouldn’t be faced with higher health care costs because Washington failed to act,” said Rep. Hurd. “Extending the Premium Tax Credit for another year gives Colorado families real stability while we work towards a permanent solution. I will continue to fight for common sense policies that make health care more affordable and reliable.” Because of this income-based premium tax credit, a record 24.2 million people signed up for coverage during open enrollment in 2025. In fact, middle-income enrollees increased from 140,000 in 2021 to 900,000 in 2024. With the Enhanced Premium Tax Credit set to expire at the end of 2025, individuals in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District would face an average premium increase of 82%, placing a significant burden on working families across our rural district. Without the extension, millions of self-employed workers and small business owners would see their premiums increase by more than $11,000 a year.

We are united in fighting to reverse this decision. Bottom line—moving Space Command headquarters weakens our national security at the worst possible time. "Moving Space Command sets our space defense apparatus back years, wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, and hands the advantage to the converging threats of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The Department of Defense Inspector General’s office has reported multiple times that moving the Command will impede our military’s operational capability for years. "Space Command’s long-term presence in Colorado Springs has also created a large number of civilian businesses and workers on which the Command now relies. Those people will not simply move with the Command at the military’s whim. Many of them will leave the industry altogether, creating a disruption in the workforce that will take our national defense systems decades to recreate. "Being prepared for any threats should be the nation’s top priority; a crucial part of that is keeping in place what is already fully operational. Moving Space Command would not result in any additional operational capabilities than what we have up and running in Colorado Springs now. Colorado Springs is the appropriate home for U.S. Space Command, and we will take the necessary action to keep it there." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T15:07:37Z |

In a letter, Congressman Evans takes Polis head-on in response to Executive Order D 2025 005, which threatens to withhold over $100 million in state funds from Colorado cities that aren't complying with recent state housing mandates, including municipalities in CO-08. This letter comes after six Colorado cities sued Polis over the EO, including Westminster, a constituent city of Congressman Evans. Executive Order D 2025 005 is a blatant attack on Colorado’s long-standing Home Rule system, as it undermines cities‘ constitutional rights to set their own zoning laws and jeopardizes state support for critical community projects. Congressman Evans' letter states that the Executive order will hurt public safety, drive up costs, and push more working families out of the state saying: “This isn’t about a political or ideological position, it’s about trusting local governments to govern themselves. Using state funds as leverage to force compliance undermines home rule and punishes communities for asserting their constitutional rights." Background: Executive Order D 2025 005 was signed on June 26, 2025. It directs state agencies to withhold funding from local governments that are non-compliant with state housing laws passed in 2024, which focus on items such as minimum parking requirements and housing developments near transit.. In 2015, then-Rep. Jared Polis submitted an amicus brief defending local zoning authority, saying “Local Government is elected to represent its community members and is ultimately responsible for preserving the character of the community,” directly contradicting his 2025 executive order. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T14:57:50Z |

He recently introduced the bipartisan Mobile Cancer Screening Act to expand mobile cancer screening services to underserved communities and rural hospitals, bringing lifesaving care directly to patients in need. This legislation directly follows through on Congressman Evans' commitment to rural communities and comes after he voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) last month, which provides $50 billion for rural hospitals, bringing better access to quality care, more healthcare jobs, and stronger local economies to millions of American communities.

Gabe Evans and Raul Ruiz have reintroduced the Mobile Cancer Screening Act. “Far too many Coloradans and Americans in rural areas face barriers to cancer screening services simply because of where they live. I understand just how critical it is to bring lifesaving health care directly to the communities that need it most,” Evans said in a news release announcing the act. The Mobile Cancer Screening Act aims to establish a federal grant program that would help rural hospitals and health care centers purchase mobile screening units for cancer, the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the bill’s text. [...] This act, if passed, will address an aspect of one of the larger concerns among health care officials about the One Big Beautiful Bill that was signed into law in early July.

The visit consisted of a tour of Aims Instructional Facilities and a roundtable with Aims faculty, staff, and local elected officials. Colorado has the 16th highest rate of AI-related job openings nationwide, and the number of AI-specific job postings in Colorado grew 66.5% in July from a year ago. “I’m proud to welcome the Deputy Secretary of Labor to Colorado’s 8th District as we highlight the cutting-edge work happening right here at Aims Community College,” said Congressman Gabe Evans. “From their partnership with Google Gemini to hands-on career training, Aims is preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow. This administration is embracing the future of AI while keeping American workers at the center of innovation. This is what it looks like when education, industry, and government work together to strengthen our economy and outcompete China.” “Seeing firsthand how Aims Community College is preparing students to succeed in the AI revolution is encouraging, and I’m grateful to Congressman Evans for hosting me,” said Deputy Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling. “The Trump Administration is advancing an AI strategy that puts workers first, and that starts by equipping young people with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving economy.

It is paramount that Congress preserve access to this program for those who need it the most by ensuring that states and the federal government implement commonsense policies to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse in the system,” said Congressman Gabe Evans. “Republicans are fighting to protect Medicaid with robust eligibility checks, $200 billion in additional funding, and sensible work requirements for able-bodied working adults, so the program can continue to serve Americans for years to come.” “As a physician, I know how critical Medicaid is for women, children, veterans, and disabled Americans. On its 60th anniversary, we are reminded of the program’s original purpose, and I am committed to preserving it for the people it was intended to serve,” said Congresswoman Dr. Miller-Meeks. “Through the One Big Beautiful Bill, we have already made important strides in eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse while ensuring Medicaid remains sustainable for the most vulnerable Americans. We will continue building on this progress to strengthen Medicaid for generations to come.” “Sixty years ago, the federal government created Medicaid to serve expectant mothers, children, individuals with disabilities, and seniors—including thousands of New Jerseyans who have relied on this vital program and continue to do so today,” said Congressman Kean. “Since then, we have seen how essential it is to preserve Medicaid’s original mission and protect the people it was designed to help.

Hurd Leads Legislation Providing Important Regulatory Relief for America’s Livestock Haulers | 2025-07-24 | 2025 | 2025-07 | Republican | House | CO | Jeff Hurd | H001100 | hurd.house.gov | hurd | https://hurd.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Last week, Congressman Jeff Hurd (CO-03) introduced the Hauling Exemptions for Livestock Protection (HELP) Act (H.R.4500) with strong support from Colorado and national stakeholders. This legislation permanently exempts livestock, insect, and aquatic animal haulers from federal Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations, recognizing the unique demands of transporting live animals. It builds on a successful COVID-era FMCSA Emergency Declaration that allowed these haulers flexibility while still operating at an excellent safety level. Congressman Hurd was joined by Congressmen Tracey Mann (KS-01), Gabe Evans (CO-08), and John Rose (TN-06) in leading this legislation. “These provisions regulating livestock haulers have proven time and time again to be unnecessary and burdensome,” said Rep. Hurd. “Live animals have unique care needs and require flexibility to be safely transported along the supply chain, and frequent road closures and adverse weather makes this flexibility especially important in Colorado. The HELP Act provides this critical regulatory relief and allows haulers to continue delivering for our producers and food supply safely and effectively, as they’ve shown for over two years during the pandemic.” “Anyone who has spent time around agriculture knows that livestock requires unique care and flexibility,” said Rep. Mann. “The Department of Transportation’s hours of service and electronic logging device rules fail to take that reality into account and puts unnecessary burdens on livestock, livestock haulers, and the nation’s food supply chain as a whole. Our bill rolls back these burdensome regulations and gives our nation’s livestock haulers the flexibility they need to keep our food supply chain strong.” “As the Representative of Colorado’s 8th district, one of the richest and most productive agricultural regions in America, I am proud to cosponsor Representative Hurd’s Hauling Exemptions for Livestock Protection Act,” said Rep.

The final recorded vote total was 278-121, a significant bipartisan victory for the Congresswoman and the multiple towns and communities in the 4th District included in the legislation. H.R. 3095 directs the United States Postal Service to create unique zip codes for more than 65 cities, towns, and communities across the country. The bill, which includes 15 communities in Colorado and 33 cosponsors, is a reintroduction of the Congresswoman’s similar effort in the 118th Congress which passed through the U.S. House in December 2024. Cities and towns like Castle Pines, Lone Tree, and Severance all have their sales tax revenue, insurance rates, mail delivery rates, and response times for first responders negatively impacted by the lack of a unique zip code for their community. This legislation will address these issues and directly improve the quality of life for Coloradans and Americans living in these communities. “This is a tremendous, hard-fought victory for the cities, towns, and communities in Colorado's 4th District and across our country who have called for a unique zip code to improve the quality of life for our constituents,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “Zip code reform is not a partisan issue; it's a unifying, fundamental need for the municipalities that have been denied their own zip code and have dealt with public safety issues, mail delivery problems for seniors and veterans, business permitting challenges, and the loss of revenue that leads to cutting public services. I am proud to have worked with leaders from across the aisle and across the country to get H.R. 3095 through the House; it's time for the Senators who represent the many communities in this bill to step up and deliver this bill to President Trump's desk." “The City of Castle Pines is grateful for Congresswoman Boebert’s tireless efforts to secure a unique zip c… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

The Mobile Cancer Screening Act will establish a federal grant program to help rural hospitals and health care centers purchase mobile screening units, bringing life saving care directly to patients in often overlooked areas. The bill will also remove the barrier of lack of transportation and long travel distances to clinics by bringing screenings to patients' front doors. “Far too many Coloradans and Americans in rural areas face barriers to cancer screening services simply because of where they live. I understand just how critical it is to bring lifesaving health care directly to the communities that need it most,” said Congressman Gabe Evans. “I am proud to help lead the fight to expand access to mobile cancer screening units and ensure every family has a fair shot at timely, quality care. I am committed to working across the aisle with my colleagues in Congress to ensure expanded access and lower costs for those who need care most.” “Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and too many patients are diagnosed too late simply because they lack access to screenings,” said Congressman Dr. Raul Ruiz (CA-25). “This bill will help bring early detection directly to people where they live—especially in rural, low-income, and underserved areas. With the Supreme Court’s recent decision on preventive care coverage, we have a critical opportunity to save lives by making screenings more accessible through mobile units.” "Far too many Americans lack access to early detection tools that save lives,” said Dr. Joseph Sabik, President of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. “This bill is a step forward toward bringing advanced screening technology directly to communities in need.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T14:40:33Z |

The bill eliminates interest payments on construction costs endured by non-federal entities and extends the repayment period to 75 years, allowing local communities more flexibility to finish their investments in this critical project. Congressman Jeff Hurd (CO-03) is a cosponsor of the bill, while Colorado Senator Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper have introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate. Upon completion, the Arkansas Valley Conduit would provide access to clean water to 50,000 residents in Southeast Colorado, including Bent, Crowley, Prowers, Kiowa and Baca Counties. The project was originally started in 1962 and has been delayed by bureaucracy and, most recently, rising construction and labor costs. The "Finish the AVC" Act addresses these issues in an effort to make this long-standing vision a finished product. “This is a major victory for Southeast Coloradans with my 'Finish the AVC Act' passing through the U.S. House of Representatives,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “Every Coloradan should have reliable access to clean water, which keeps families healthy and allows economic development to move forward. It's been more than six decades since the Arkansas Valley Conduit was originally approved; Coloradans are done waiting on this project. I'm grateful to my House colleagues for their support and I will fight to make sure this bill now passes through the Senate so President Trump can sign this bill in the near future.” “Access to reliable, clean water is fundamental to the health and prosperity of our rural communities, and the Arkansas Valley Conduit has remained an unfinished promise for far too long," said Congressman Jeff Hurd (CO-03).

The bill extends the timeline for interest earned on the Wildlife Restoration Fund to accumulate longer before being spent, boosting future resources for habitat restoration and wetland conservation. By investing these dollars now, the legislation will strengthen future hunting access, support healthy ecosystems, and ensure long-term funding for waterfowl habitat. “This legislation supports hunters, improves wetland health, and ensures future generations can enjoy the outdoors. It expands hunting opportunities and delivers real benefits for conservation efforts across the country,” said Rep. Hurd. “I’m honored to get this win for our hunters, wildlife, and America’s outdoor heritage.” “Our committee will always work to promote access for sportsmen and women, as well as the conservation of our nation’s rich wildlife,” said House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman. “I thank Mr. Hurd for his work to reauthorize this vital source of funding and look forward to moving this bill through the legislative process.” The bill also boosts funding for the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA)—a proven, bipartisan program that restores wetlands and protects waterfowl habitat across North America. Through strong public-private partnerships, NAWCA has helped conserve over 32 million acres of habitat while expanding outdoor opportunities nationwide.

Read highlights below or his full op-ed here. Congressman Evans: ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ funding will train all levels of law enforcement amid grave threats The Hill July 10, 2025 In a time where America is facing rising threats, one truth remains clear: our national security depends on more than just the right policies. It depends on people: the brave men and women of law enforcement who stand between danger and the American people. Ensuring law enforcement officers are trained, prepared and supported isn't optional, it’s essential. As a former police officer and Army veteran, I know firsthand how critical it is for officers to be properly trained and prepared. Whether it’s responding to violent crime in our communities, securing the border, or preventing terrorist activity here in the homeland, split second decisions are shaped by the quality of their training. These officers are often the first to detect and disrupt sleeper cells and terrorism threats that most Americans never see, which makes their preparation all the more vital. That's why I am proud to support the $750 million investment in the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) included in Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill. Before I ran for office, I walked the thin blue line. I worked patrol and confronted dangerous situations head on, just like thousands of law enforcement officers in this country do every time they walk out the front door in the morning. I’ve experienced what it's like to run into an unknown situation and rely on your training to get you and your buddies home safely that night. I know how much that training matters. […] Republicans’ investment includes $285 million to expand FLETC’s ability to recruit and train the personnel our country needs, especially in high demand areas like the U.S. Border Patrol and ICE.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is a bold, commonsense blueprint for how to secure the border, lower costs for families, crack down on dangerous illegal immigrants, and give local law enforcement the tools needed to keep our communities safe.

The bill eliminates interest payments on construction costs endured by non-federal entities and extends the repayment period to 75 years, allowing local communities more flexibility to finish their investments in this critical project. Congressman Jeff Hurd (CO-03) is a cosponsor of the bill, while Colorado Senator Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper have introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate. Upon completion, the Arkansas Valley Conduit would provide access to clean water to 50,000 residents in Southeast Colorado, including Bent, Prowers, Kiowa and Baca Counties. The project was originally started back in 1962 and has been delayed by bureaucracy and, most recently, rising construction and labor costs. The "Finish the AVC" Act addresses these issues in an effort to make this long-standing vision a finished product. “I'm very pleased to see my Finish the AVC Act get through Committee and continue to advance through Congress as a responsible solution for Southeast Coloradans,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “I've emphasized the need for every resident in the 4th District to have reliable access to clean water, whether it's in Morgan County or down in our Southeast region. The Arkansas Valley Conduit has been pushed to the side for too long and it's time we got this project done. I look forward to getting the Finish the AVC Act through the House and eventually to President Trump's desk for signing.” "Rural water providers in our area often struggle to secure the funding needed to meet the needs of the communities they serve.

The lawmakers represent rural and mountain communities across the state and continue to urge that a proposal along these lines be excluded from the final text. Hurd and Neguse worked successfully to strip an amendment from the House-passed text that would have mandated the sale of hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in Utah and Nevada. “Colorado’s public lands belong to the people and are held in trust for future generations. They don’t belong to political appointees or outside interests. Neither of our districts asked for this land sale, and any efforts to sell off these shared spaces are deeply unpopular with the hunters, ranchers, fishermen, recreationists, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts we are proud to represent in Congress. Republican or Democrat—representing red, purple, or blue districts—one sentiment continues to ring true: public lands are not for sale.” “As consideration of the budget reconciliation bill continues, we must remain united in ensuring that its text excludes provisions that would permit the widespread sale or transfer of these treasured places. It’s time for folks on both sides of the aisle to come together for the common good and stand with us in our bipartisan effort to be good stewards of America’s prized public lands.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |

Jared Polis Wednesday. On Health First Colorado's website, it says, "Don’t let immigration status stop you from applying for health coverage," citing state law.

"It is disheartening to see Colorado continue to double down and prioritize individuals who are unlawfully present even in the face of adverse impacts on Americans who need Medicaid the most, and we urge you to reverse course," the Republicans added.

Evans escribió un artículo de opinión sobre este tema en diciembre, afirmando que su prioridad es combatir a los pandilleros quienes han venido a los Estados Unidos para hacer daño y aterrorizar nuestras vecindades, no a los individuos quienes han venido para mejorar sus vidas. Más información en el Denver Post aquí y abajo: El congresista de Colorado, Gabe Evans, y otros congresistas republicanos, plantean su preocupación al ICE por la persecución de personas sin antecedentes penales Denver Post 12 de junio de 2025 El congresista de Colorado, Gabe Evans, y otros legisladores republicanos plantearon esta semana su preocupación al Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) sobre sus estrategias de control migratorio para asegurar que el ICE sigue priorizando la deportación de delincuentes. En la carta enviada el miércoles al director interino del ICE, Todd Lyons, los seis miembros de la Conferencia Hispana del Congreso expresaron su preocupación por la posibilidad de que sus recursos limitados sean usados para perseguir a personas que no representan una amenaza inmediata para la seguridad pública, según una copia compartida en línea por Axios. Escribieron que la aplicación de la ley migratoria debe seguir "niveles de prioridad", y añadieron: "Cada minuto que dedicamos a perseguir a una persona sin antecedentes penales es un minuto menos que dedicamos a la detención de terroristas o miembros de cárteles". Aunque estos congresistas afirman apoyar las iniciativas de seguridad fronteriza del presidente Donald Trump, escribieron que “debemos ir dirigidos a todos los delincuentes peligrosos y extranjeros ilegales convictos presentes en nuestra nación”. “Desviando recursos limitados a otros objetivos pone en riesgo nuestra segur… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |

WASHINGTON- El Congresista Gabe Evans, nieto de inmigrantes mexicanos, se unió a cinco de sus colegas de la Conferencia Hispana del Congreso para enviar una carta al Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) solicitando que sus esfuerzos se enfoquen en delincuentes violentos y amenazas reales a la seguridad pública. La carta busca asegurar que los recursos limitados de ICE se utilicen prioritariamente para detener y deportar a pandilleros, traficantes y criminales peligrosos, no a familias trabajadoras o personas sin antecedentes penales. Evans reafirma que una aplicación efectiva de la ley migratoria debe proteger a nuestras comunidades y mantener seguras a las familias en Colorado, especialmente en el Octavo Distrito. Como defensor de la seguridad pública y miembro de una comunidad inmigrante orgullosa, el Congresista subraya que el enfoque debe estar en quienes vienen a hacer daño, no en quienes vienen a construir una vida mejor.

This legislation requires the Secretary of the Army to work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to allocate the necessary resources to eliminate the backlog of jurisdictional determinations and pending applications for Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 dredge and fill permits. “Delays in permit approvals are stalling key infrastructure projects in Colorado and across the nation,” said Rep. Hurd. “This bill pushes the Army Corps to clear this backlog so communities can get moving on critical projects without unnecessary delays.” “Our Nation’s farmers, ranchers, small business owners, energy providers, and builders rely on predictable, timely Clean Water Act permitting decisions. Congressman Hurd’s bill will reduce the backlog of Clean Water Act permits needed for many infrastructure projects that are currently stuck in regulatory limbo,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (MO-06). “I want to thank Congressman Hurd for introducing this bill and for his leadership in helping to cut the red tape that prevents America from building.” USACE has reported a backlog of more than 3,500 pending jurisdictional determinations. These determinations are necessary to determine whether a project requires a CWA Section 404 permit. This backlog holds back important infrastructure projects from moving forward, while adding additional costs and delays.

Jeff Crank (CO-05) and Rep. Dale Strong (AL-05) announced the creation of the House Golden Dome Caucus. The House Golden Dome Caucus will serve as an educational clearinghouse for Members and staff to engage with civilian and military leadership, industry partners, think tanks, and others in relation to the Golden Dome Initiative. The Caucus will partner will Senator Tim Sheehy's (R-MT) Golden Dome Caucus to maximize cooperation and efficiency. "Golden Dome will only be successful if we meet President Trump's timeline," said Rep. Crank. "This means that is imperative that we, Members and stakeholders, are well informed and working together to revolutionize missile defense of our great nation." "President Trump has artfully highlighted the critical need for a next-generation missile defense shield to protect the U.S. against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other aerial attacks. With nuclear-capable adversaries across the globe, we can’t afford for this vision to not become a reality,” said Rep. Strong. “North Alabama has played a role in every former and current U.S. missile defense program and stands ready once again to meet this urgent need." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |

We need to ask ourselves why? Why is this happening? Thoughts and condolences aren't enough. Unfortunately in Colorado — which is a sanctuary state that prohibits at times state and local law enforcement from being able to work with their federal authorities — I can't help but wonder if this attack might have been prevented. In the same way I did for 22 years in the military and law enforcement, seeking solutions and elevating the conversation that makes our communities safe. That is the point of the resolution last night. From the bottom of my heart to the Jewish community: We stand with you. From the bottom of my heart to Americans and to Coloradans who are suffering right now from the second most dangerous state in the country: We are focused on solutions to prevent things like this from happening again. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |

Jeff Crank (CO-05) voted to pass Rep. Gabe Evans' (CO-08) resolution condemning the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. "The terrorist attack in Boulder was yet another strike against our Jewish community," said Rep. Crank. "I will not sit idly by as our friends are attacked for their religious and political beliefs. I am heartbroken for the victims and will always choose to condemn violence and hate. However, this tragedy could have been prevented. Governor Jared Polis and the Colorado Bureau of Investigations were on notice he was here illegally when he failed a background check to buy a gun, yet did nothing to notify ICE. Instead, they handed him a driver’s license. Colorado state lawmakers need to do better. It’s time to wake up." Background: Rep. Crank also co-sponsored Rep. Joe Neguse's (CO-02) resolution, condemning the attack. Watch as Rep. Crank condemns the Boulder terrorist attack and sanctuary policies below. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |

The resolution passed with a bipartisan vote. “As a former police officer and Army veteran of the Global War on Terror, I know how Colorado’s radical leftists leaders and laws prioritize illegal immigrants over public safety — allowing antisemitic terrorists like Mohammed Sabry Soliman to strike. The passing of my resolution ensures we condemn all acts of antisemitism and affirms that the free and open collaboration between state and local law enforcement with their federal counterparts is key in preventing future attacks like this,” said Congressman Evans. Watch Congressman Evans’ speech on the bipartisan resolution here: In addition to condemning the attack, the resolution also calls for enhanced, commonsense vetting procedures and stresses the importance of communication between local law enforcement and their federal counterparts in sanctuary states like Colorado. Soliman was an illegal immigrant residing in Colorado Springs, granted a valid driver’s license by the state DMV, and had multiple contacts with law enforcement prior to the attack – most notably when he tried to buy a gun and failed a background check. Colorado’s refusal to allow local law enforcement to share basic information with federal immigration authorities highlights the danger of sanctuary policies and is a contributing factor to the state's rising crime rates which now rank second in the nation. Without Colorado’s sanctuary state laws, this attack could have been prevented. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |
