| Hi Jason, I'm Shannon Bird, a Democrat running for Congress in Colorado's 8th District. Here's what you need to know about this race: FIRST: Republican Gabe Evans won this seat by fewer than 2,500 votes last year, making him one of the most vulnerable incumbents in Congress. THEN: Since then, Evans has marched in lockstep with Trump — even voting to gut Medicaid, which 1 in 3 residents in our district rely on. NOW: Gabe Evans is already going on conservative talk radio to attack me — because he knows this is one of the most competitive seats in the country and one of our best chances to flip a red seat blue and reclaim the House majority. I know what it's like to struggle. I grew up watching my family work hard just to make ends meet. Today, I see Evans' and Trump's reckless policies making life even harder, raising prices for middle-class families across Colorado. I'm running for Congress to stand up to Trump's attacks, protect our democracy, and fight for a better future for Colorado's families, seniors, and kids. But I need you in this fight with me. Trump and dark money groups will spend millions of dollars to keep this seat red. We need grassroots momentum to fight back. Can you chip in $5 or whatever you can to help us flip this seat and take back the House? |
