Tight Colorado House Race Hinges on Latino Voter Influence

Democrat Yadira Caraveo and Republican Gabe Evans vie for a crucial seat in a district where Latino voters hold significant sway.

The Colorado 8th Congressional District race is one of the nation's most closely watched contests, with Latino voters comprising nearly 40% of the electorate.
Incumbent Democrat Yadira Caraveo narrowly won the seat in 2022 by less than 1,700 votes, highlighting the district's competitive nature.
Both Caraveo and her opponent, Gabe Evans, have adjusted their campaign strategies to appeal to Latino and undecided voters, particularly on the issue of border security.
Evans, endorsed by Donald Trump, distances himself from some of Trump's immigration policies, advocating for legal immigration reforms and increased border security.
Caraveo has also taken a tougher stance on border security and crime, while criticizing Evans for aligning with Trump's more extreme immigration rhetoric.
