Fremont County Republican Stephanie Luck says she won't run for reelection to the statehouse, but hinted at a possible run for a different, perhaps bigger office. She also called one declared candidate a liar, while endorsing a new one. #coleg #copolitics coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/10/state-…

My latest: Rep Evans says he's building a new fence for his 3 cows, which aren't on his property anymore. Does this mean he still plans to promote himself in his rural district as a "rancher" and "beef producer" & take a $1,000 ag tax break? coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/09/evans-… #copolitics

Colorado conservatives have dreamt of the day they could kick 9News anchor, and the Imelda Marcos of sport coats, @KyleClark to the curb. Their day may be coming. #copolitics And I must admit, there’s a certain satisfaction imagining Kyle selling his wardrobe at a garage sale.…

Some good followup here on a bizarre line Evans keeps repeating:

My latest: Evans says he told a story about his mom thinking she'd be stuck in poverty in Mexico to "resonate" with Latino voters. But available info points to the story being false. Evans' aunt, who grew up with his mom says it's "delusional" coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/08/rotten… #copolitics

Great reporting. Not a remotely close call that this is all in the public interest, especially given the total lack of transparency about out-of-state "contributors" denverpost.com/2025/08/01/who…

Among the many questions Evans refused to answer for this story was whether these revelations about his grandfather would change how he talked about immigration issues going forward. One day later, the answer appears to be very much in the negative.

But INS documents obtained through records requests show that Cuauhtemoc Chavez, Evans’ grandfather, crossed the border illegally in 1929, lived unlawfully in the U.S. for at least the next 12 years, and was arrested for attempted burglary as a teenager. coloradonewsline.com/2025/07/22/u-s…

Colorado Republican Rep. Gabe Evans has centered his pro-Trump political identity — and his support for mass deportation — on the story of his Mexican-American grandfather, who he has repeatedly said immigrated “the legal way.” Documents show that isn’t true.
