After NBC News declared a Colorado contest for the Republican opponent, the GOP gained another U.S. House seat on Sunday.

In the state’s 8th District, Gabe Evans defeated Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO) with 49% of the vote as of Sunday, forcing Caraveo to concede. The two contenders were separated by a mere 2,500 votes. In a written statement to the Colorado Sun, pediatrician and former state representative Caraveo said, “Serving the people of Colorado’s 8th District has been an honor of a lifetime.” Even though this isn’t the result we were hoping for, there is still more work to be done. I’m excited to go back to Washington to complete this term
