Planned Parenthood PAC to Spend ‘Six-Figures’ in Effort to Oust Evans

Sean Beedle·July 10, 2026

This week, Planned Parenthood Votes, an independent expenditure committee focused on reproductive justice, announced the launch of their “We Decide” electoral campaign to unseat lawmakers who voted to defund Planned Parenthood. The group will spend $47 million to flip federal House and Senate seats and to support various state-level races. Among the federal races targeted by Planned Parenthood Votes is Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, where U.S. Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO) is facing a challenge from Colorado Rep. Manny Rutinel (D-Commerce City). In 2024 Evans beat former U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO) by roughly 2,500 votes.
