We told you we planned to take action to flip seats and win the US House. We’re starting by targeting CO-8 Republican\u00a0incumbent\u00a0Gabe Evans. We need your help to ensure Independents and Reluctant Republicans in his district know exactly who he is.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fake Gabe Evans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabe Evans calls himself a rancher. His own financial disclosures tell a different story: $1,709 in beef sales last year. Three longhorn cattle boarded while he’s in Washington. A cowboy hat that’s working harder than his herd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made an ad about it. And it’s exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we need to run it \u2014 in his district, in front of the independents and Reluctant Republicans who’ve been buying the “man of the land” story. Because nothing undermines a politician’s image faster than the truth wearing a cowboy hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re Just Getting Started<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re raising $25,000 to run this ad across CO-8, but this is just the first and we’re just starting to troll the Republican incumbents of our target flip districts. We’ll be sharing new creative ads focused on CO-8, PA-7, IA-1, PA-8 and more to come. But we need your help- our goal isn’t to change the minds of hard core MAGA voters; it’s to remind frustrated independents and reluctant republicans exactly who their Republican representative is and do it now, before political funding floods the zone. Donate to our campaign and help us flip the House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
