Text VICTORY to 21818 to help DEFEND our conservative majority!

October 8, 2026

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) issued the following statement on Congressman Gabe Evans’ decisive victory in the CO-08 debate against Manny Rutinel:

“The contrast between DSA-endorsed Democrat Manny Rutinel and U.S. Army veteran and former police officer Congressman Gabe Evans could not be more stark. Rutinel’s extreme agenda of defunding the police, raising taxes on meat, and eliminating Colorado’s oil and gas industry would be devastating for working families, law enforcement, and Colorado’s economy. Rutinel is a radical activist who would rubber-stamp the far left’s disastrous agenda, while Congressman Gabe Evans is a proven commonsense leader who fights for safer communities, lower costs, and more opportunities for Colorado families. Coloradans will reject Rutinel’s radical agenda and re-elect Congressman Gabe Evans this November.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
