Three Cows. $1,709. One Very Convincing Cowboy Hat
Help us run this ad in CO-8 and make sure voters see the real Gabe Evans.
CO-8 Republican incumbent Gabe Evans calls himself a rancher. His own financial disclosures tell a different story: $1,709 in beef sales last year. Three longhorn cattle boarded while he's in Washington. A cowboy hat that's working harder than his herd.
We made an ad about it. And it's exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.
Now we need to run it — in his district, in front of the Independents and Reluctant Republicans who've been buying the "man of the land" story. Because nothing undermines a politician's image faster than the truth wearing a cowboy hat.
We're raising $25,000 to run this ad across CO-8. Every dollar goes to Meta ads in the district. Keep Rancher Gabe on the air — give monthly. Recurring donors are the backbone of this campaign — unlike Evans', which is sold separately.
Why give to Flip the States:
The insiders - from the DCCC to DNC and more - aren’t doing this work. They are using old rules and an old playbook. It’s time to change. We aren’t insiders, but we are professionals using our skills to do the work the party isn't:
- 20+ years in marketing and advertising agencies, nationally award winning creative director
- Outperformed DCCC in identifying competitive races & actual flipped seats in 2024
Flip the States ranks races to identify the races Dems can and must flip to win power. We don't optimize for fundraising, we optimize to win. CO-8 is top flip target. Check out our rankings: www.flipthestates.com
We built a proprietary algorithm drawing on up to 20 years of district-level voting data across all 50 states — 45,000 races, 27 data points, everything from incumbency and historical trend lines to the measurable impact of donor dollars on race outcomes. We rank where Democrats can win, not based on who’s in the news cycle, but based on the evidence.
