[constituency_baseline] District summary: Colorado's 8th Congressional District was created after the 2020 census and includes parts of Adams, Weld, and Larimer counties, stretching along U.S. 85 from Denver's northern suburbs to Greeley. With approximately 757,000 residents (2024), it is Colorado's newest district and has the state's highest Hispanic population share at 39%. The district is politically competitive: Cook PVI rates it EVEN. In 2024, Trump won the district 50%-48% while Evans unseated a Democratic incumbent by just 2,449 votes (49.0%-48.2%). Registered voters are 28% Democratic, 25% Republican, and 44% unaffiliated. The district is working-class with a median household income of approximately $94,617-$100,033, well above the national median. Homeownership is 71.2%. Key industries include agriculture and food processing (JBS USA, Leprino Foods), oil and gas extraction (Weld County is a top energy-producing county), healthcare (Banner Health), manufacturing (Vestas Blades wind turbines), and defense/aerospace. The district is car-dependent (71.4% drive alone) with a 29.1-minute mean commute.

Less than three months later, he co-introduced the Medicare and Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act and introduced a resolution celebrating Medicaid's 60th anniversary — an apparent effort to recast himself as a Medicaid supporter after voting for the largest cuts in the program's history.

The Colorado Oil and Gas Association and Colorado Petroleum Association endorsed it; Democrats argued it would let polluters use hot weather as an excuse to ignore Clean Air Act limits.

[constituency_baseline] District summary: Colorado's 8th Congressional District encompasses the northern Denver suburbs (Adams County), Greeley, and parts of Weld and Larimer counties. Created after the 2020 Census, it is Colorado's newest and most competitive district with a Cook PVI of R+1. With approximately 740,000 constituents, the district is 62.5% White and 39.5% Hispanic — drawn as the state's 'Hispanic influence' district. The median household income of $94,617 sits well above the national average, with a poverty rate of 6.9% and homeownership at 71.2%. The economy is anchored by agriculture (corn, sugar beets, cattle), energy (oil and gas extraction in Weld County), health care, and manufacturing. Unaffiliated voters comprise ~44% of registered voters, making this the ultimate swing district. Evans won in 2024 by fewer than 2,500 votes.
