ENOUGH: Colorado Republicans Must Condemn Trump's Blatant Racism

18 days ago February 06, 2026
"During Black History Month, we celebrate the culture and contributions of Black Americans to our national heritage, and also remember our nation's terrible history of slavery and racist oppression," said ProgressNow Colorado executive director Sara Loflin. "President Trump's shameful racist smear against the Obamas during Black History Month is a reminder that racial prejudice is still alive and even thriving at the highest levels of power in America. We can't keep looking away and making excuses while Donald Trump tears apart the bonds that make America great."

Conservatives Lose Blame Game As Shutdown To Save Health Care Drags On

144 days ago October 03, 2025
“Three days into the latest Trump government shutdown, the public polling is clear: Republicans have lost the support of the American people,” said ProgressNow Colorado executive director Sara Loflin. “After the passage of the disastrous federal budget bill, millions of Americans are facing massive increases in their health insurance premiums beginning next year–in Colorado, 28% or even higher. Even Republicans like Rep. Jeff Hurd say they want to restore the premium tax credits they voted to cut in the Big Horrible Bill. But instead of doing the right thing, Hurd is joining Trump, Gabe Evans, and fellow Republicans telling lies about what Democrats are fighting for.”

RELEASE: Colorado Faces Special Session To Address Trump Budget Disaster

202 days ago August 06, 2025
“There is only one reason why Colorado faces a billion-dollar hole in this year’s budget, and it’s the choices made by Republicans like Gabe Evans doing the bidding of Donald Trump and Mike Johnson,” said ProgressNow Colorado executive director Sara Loflin. “Trump and his cronies like Colorado’s freshman Rep. Gabe Evans have inflicted this immense pain on Colorado working families, and now it’s up to us to try to minimize the harm.”

ProgressNow Colorado and Colorado Consumer Health Initiative demand Gabe Evans stop lying

236 days ago July 03, 2025
“As nearly half a million Coloradans stand to lose their Medicaid services and see their costs rise after Gabe Evans helped design the bill to cut hundreds of millions in SNAP benefits designed to feed hungry children and families, and farmers and ranchers will see an end to their renewable energy tax credits, the harm inflicted by the Congressman from Colorado’s 8th Congressional district is unprecedented,” said Sara Loflin, executive director of ProgressNow Colorado. “It is time for Evans to stop sidestepping his constituents, stop deflecting blame, and stop lying to his district. He voted to take health care from thousands of people in his district. He voted to make children and families go hungry; and he voted to kill Colorado jobs in favor of handcuffing abuelas and children.”

Coloradans Respond To Gabe Evans’ Outrageous Defense Of Indefensible Medicaid Cuts

271 days ago May 29, 2025
“Without Medicaid, people die,” said ProgressNow Colorado executive director Sara Loflin. “Gabe Evans’ so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ bill threatens the health coverage of nearly 1 million Coloradans and 200,000+ people in Gabe’ Evans District, including: children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Evans wants voters to believe that the people who will lose coverage don’t deserve health care, but thousands of Coloradans will fall through the cracks, and some of them will die as a result of Evans’ vote. Thousands more could lose access to care as health care providers are forced to close.”

Gabe Evans Casts Deciding Vote To Slash Medicaid Funding

271 days ago May 29, 2025
“Last night’s vote was the first real test of Gabe Evans’ integrity, and he blew it,” said ProgressNow Colorado executive director Sara Loflin. “For months, residents of Evans’ district begged him to step back from the brink and reject his colleagues’ plans to throw millions of Americans off the Medicaid rolls to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Because of Gabe Evans’ vote, unless the Senate intervenes to stop this madness, thousands of residents of the Eighth Congressional District will lose their health coverage. Of those thousands, some will not fit Evans’ cheap stereotypes, and those people will suffer so the wealthiest Americans can have more tax cuts. Some of them will die.”

ProgressNow Colorado’s Winners and Losers of the 2025 Colorado General Assembly

292 days ago May 08, 2025
With Colorado at a crossroads due to uncertainty looming at the federal level, the 2025 session of the Colorado General Assembly concluded with wins on housing affordability, education, abortion rights, voting rights, and reducing gun violence. Lawmakers responded to new threats to funding and personal freedom from the Trump administration with a strong slate of legislation to protect the most vulnerable Colorado residents. Unfortunately, continued chaos at the federal level including Medicaid cuts backed by former state Rep. Gabe Evans in Congress could force lawmakers back to the Capitol this year to mitigate the damage. Once again, ProgressNow Colorado was proud to be on the front lines of advancing progress at the legislature this year.

Hundreds Turn Out To Demand Accountability From Absent Rep. Gabe Evans

339 days ago March 22, 2025
“We organized this event as a response to Congressman Evans’ lack of responsiveness. For weeks we’ve been asking him to host a town hall,” said Jacob Stevens, one of the residents who invited Evans to the People’s Town Hall in a hand delivered letter on March 12th. “We want him to speak to the people he represents about our concerns, especially regarding the House budget which he voted to approve. This budget will result in massive cuts to Medicaid benefits, effecting a quarter of his constituents. Those people deserve to be heard by their representative.”

Gabe Evans Sells Out Colorado Families To Donald Trump

364 days ago February 25, 2025
“Gabe Evans’ vote tonight to slash Medicaid funding and countless other vital services Coloradans depend on is a defining moment in Evans’ short career in elected office,” said Loflin. “Evans represents one of the most economically and culturally diverse populations in Colorado, and Evans’ political vulnerability in a district drawn to be closely competitive affords him no margin for the colossal error he made tonight. Evans has inextricably tied himself to the Musk-Trump brand that is already sinking in the polls, and voters will remember that Gabe Evans chose to just go with it.”
