In the upcoming election for Colorado's 8th District, two candidates are vying for the seat. The Democratic nominee is Yadira Caraveo, who is currently serving as the U.S. Representative for the district. Caraveo, a pediatrician by profession, graduated from Regis University. Gabe Evans is the Republican contender, a member of the Colorado House of Representatives with a background as a former police lieutenant and U.S. Army veteran. Evans studied at Patrick Henry College.
In the current United States House of Representatives, the Democrats hold 212 seats, while the Republicans have a majority with 220 seats. There are also three vacancies. Within Colorado's 8th District, the demographic composition is 53% Non-Hispanic White, 38% Hispanic, 4% Asian, with Black and Native American populations each making up 3% of the district's population.
Historically, this district has shown competitive tendencies. In the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden won with a margin of 4.5%. The 2022 House race was closely contested, with Caraveo winning by a margin of less than 1%. Given the narrow results in previous elections, the race in this district is expected to be competitive once again, with both parties vying for a crucial seat in the closely divided House.
