Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Goals come from the campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Gabe Evans

Background

  • The sitting member for the 8th District, in his first term; Congress.gov records his service from 2025.
  • His office says he spent twelve years in the Army, flew Black Hawk helicopters and commanded a company in the Colorado Army National Guard, then joined the Arvada police in 2011 and reached lieutenant.
  • Served in the Colorado House for District 48 in the 2023 and 2024 sessions, where he was a prime sponsor of 21 bills.
  • Sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Homeland Security Committee.

What they say they want to do

  • School choice and more career and technical education.
  • Protect Social Security and make it tax-free.

What the official record shows

What they say

His office says he appreciates how important it is for everyone to have quality care and insurance, including for pre-existing conditions.

“I truly appreciate how important it is for all Americans and Coloradans to have access to quality healthcare and insurance coverage, including for pre-existing conditions.”

What the record shows ·

He voted for H.R. 1 in May and July 2025 (Roll Calls 145 and 190). The law requires states to set Medicaid work requirements for certain adults (section 71119). In December 2025 he voted Yea when the House passed H.R. 6703, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, 216 to 211 (Roll Call 349). It would let groups of employers offer association health plans, which could not deny coverage for a pre-existing condition, and would fund cost-sharing reduction payments from 2027; it is in the Senate. In January 2026 he voted Nay on the discharge motion and on passage of H.R. 1834, which would extend the enhanced marketplace premium credits (Roll Calls 4 and 11); it is on the Senate calendar.

Limit: The statement names no bill or measure. His votes went for tighter Medicaid rules and for the House Republican premium bill, and against extending the premium credits. Neither H.R. 1 nor H.R. 1834 changes the pre-existing condition rules. How many people lose or keep coverage is an estimate, not a record.

What they say

His office says he supports efforts to make Social Security tax-free.

He voted for H.R. 1, which adds a $6,000 deduction for people 65 and older through 2028 but does not change how Social Security benefits are taxed.

Quotes, full record and limits

What they say

His office says he supports efforts to make Social Security tax-free.

“We must protect Social Security and I support efforts to make Social Security tax-free.”

What the record shows ·

He voted for H.R. 1, now Public Law 119-21. Section 70103 adds a 6,000 dollar deduction for each taxpayer 65 or older, for tax years before 2029, phased down above 75,000 dollars of income (150,000 joint). It does not change how Social Security benefits are taxed. None of the 262 measures he had cosponsored by October 1, 2026 would, by its title, end the tax on benefits.

Limit: The deduction lowers tax for many older people, including on benefits, but it is tied to age, not to Social Security, and ends after 2028. It is a step the way he says, not a tax-free benefit.

Matches stated direction

What they say

His office lists his priorities as securing the border, streamlining legal immigration and deporting immigrants here illegally who commit crimes.

What they say

His office lists his priorities as securing the border, streamlining legal immigration and deporting immigrants here illegally who commit crimes.

“my priorities are: secure the physical border, streamline the system for legal immigration, and deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes.”

What the record shows ·

He is an original cosponsor of the Dignity Act, H.R. 4393, from July 15, 2025. The bill pairs border security and mandatory E-Verify with a Dream Act, a legal-status program, and a title on legal immigration backlogs. It has not left committee. In July 2026 he led a letter asking DHS to speed up DACA renewals. He also voted for H.R. 1, now Public Law 119-21, which adds new fees on asylum, parole, work permits and visas.

Limit: Cosponsoring a bill that has not moved costs little. The letter asks an agency to act; it changes no law. New fees do not by themselves make the system slower or faster.

Its sections titled no tax on tips and no tax on overtime create deductions of up to 25,000 dollars for tips and 12,500 dollars for the extra pay on overtime above a worker's regular rate (25,000 joint), reduced above 150,000 dollars of income (300,000 joint), through 2028.

Limit: They are capped income tax deductions that end after 2028, not a full exemption, and for overtime only the pay above the regular rate counts.

What the record shows ·

He voted yes when the House passed the KIDS Act, H.R. 7757, 267 to 117 on June 29, 2026; its Title IV covers AI chatbots. He sponsored H.R. 10152, the Open-Source AI Leadership Act, which backs American open AI models and has Commerce assess risks from foreign adversary models; a House committee voted 26 to 21 to advance it. He also sponsored H.R. 9340, the Ratepayer Protection Act, on power costs for data centers, which passed the House 417 to 3. None is law.

Limit: Calling all three AI guardrails is his description. The open-source bill mainly promotes American AI models, and the ratepayer bill is about who pays for data centers' power.
