In the 2024 House race for CO-8, Gabe Evans (R) won with 49.0% of the vote, defeating Yadira Caraveo (D) who received 48.2%. 3 additional candidates split the remaining vote. The 0.7-point margin made this one of the more competitive races of the cycle.

Gabe Evans defeated the incumbent Yadira Caraveo (D), which is a significant political event — most incumbents win re-election by wide margins. This was a general election upset. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. Given the narrow margin, this seat is likely to remain competitive and attract heavy investment in the next cycle.
