CO Rep Evans has decided not to give up the agricultural designation & tax break on his land. Questions about the agricultural designation arose after he repeatedly framed himself as a "rancher" in his rural district, despite raising a few cows as a hobby coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/01/evan...

OPINION: The United States has spent more than a century insisting it is not an empire. This is why the U.S. operation in Venezuela feels, for once, more like an unmasked moment of truth than a one-off policy decision. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/01/trum...

Gabe Evans says his vote has enabled Republicans to enact "all of the reforms that we're doing." He says he was "100%" of the majority that passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, the first version of which passed by one vote in the House.
