Gabe Evans Wins Colorado's 8th Congressional District

Republican Gabe Evans has officially won Colorado's 8th Congressional District, defeating Democratic incumbent Yadira Caraveo by a margin of 2,596 votes following a competitive election. Caraveo conceded the race five days after Election Day, expressing gratitude to her supporters and reaffirming her commitment to serve until the end of her term. Evans celebrated his victory, stating he is humbled to represent the district and ready to advocate for the people of Colorado. The outcome is significant as it contributes to the Republican Party's efforts to gain control of the U.S. House, now just one seat away from a majority. The district, known for its competitiveness, was drawn to ensure a closely contested race, evidenced by Caraveo's narrow win two years prior. Both candidates had actively engaged their supporters in the days following the election to address any potential ballot issues, highlighting the importance of every vote in this tight race.
