Gabe Evans lets Colorado down

John,  In Colorado’s 8th District, Republican freshman Gabe Evans voted to support the House GOP budget plan that would slash funding for Medicaid, doing Trump’s bidding and being a “yes man” for Speaker Johnson. Nearly a quarter of his constituents rely on Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insuran…
