ICYMI: Gabe Evans Spends Exorbitant Amount of Taxpayer Money for Hotels and Dining

Evans Spent the Most Taxpayer Dollars Out of Entire CO Congressional Delegation

THORNTON, CO – While Coloradans are struggling to make ends meet, Gabe Evans uses his constituents’ hard earned money to wine and dine out in DC.

A new article by Colorado Public Radio reports that from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, Evans spent $43,471 from his Members’ Representational Allowance (MRA), a taxpayer funded resource that can be used to “expense housing, whether it be hotels or rent, as well as meals and incidentals without providing receipts.” During that time period, Evans expensed the most out of the entire Colorado Congressional Delegation.

In case you missed it:

• “According to House data that was released during the time period covering January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, Republican Rep. Gabe Evans expensed the most of the Colorado delegation. Evans spent $43,471, with $31,421 going towards housing from January 2025 to May 2026. An additional $12,050 went towards meals and incidentals during that same time period.”

While Evans squeezed out every dime out of his constituents to fund his time in the least effective Congress ever, he made life unaffordable in CD-8. Gas and diesel prices are climbing with no end in sight because he continues to vote for the reckless war in Iran and his 100% voting record for Donald Trump’s corrupt, chaotic tariffs have made everything from housing to groceries expensive.

“Gabe Evans talks a lot about how Coloradans need to be more fiscally responsible," said Alex Terr, spokesperson for Manny for Colorado. “But he is totally fine with spending his constituents' money on his lifestyle. It’s time to elect Manny Rutinel who will work for Colorado’s working families, not bankrupt them for his own gain.”
