Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, the Democratic incumbent, left, and Republican state Rep. Gabe Evans participate in an 8th congressional debate at the 9News studio in Denver on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024. Democratic U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo and her Republican challenger, state Rep. Gabe Evans, sparred over immigration, abortion and Donald Trump on Tuesday night in the first debate for one of the most tightly contested congressional contests in the country.
Evans also would not answer directly when asked if it was appropriate to use corporal punishment on children in schools, in relation tolast year. He at first said that “we need to ensure that we are providing a safe place to be able to learn in our public schools.” When pressed to answer directly, he began talking about his past work as a “part-time school resource officer.” Clark then stopped him and moved on.
Caraveo said she would vote to represent her constituents, apparently meaning a more enforcement-heavy approach. She would not say if she still supported giving government contracts to companies that employ undocumented workers, saying only that her constituents wanted a “balanced” approach. “Donald Trump decided that he would rather run on the issue of immigration than give me the opportunity to vote on it,” she said.that, among other things, bars local law enforcement from providing someone’s immigration status to federal authorities. , and Evans boosted his own bipartisan credentials by noting that he’d passed a majority of his bills during his time in the legislature, despite serving in a chamber that Democrats control at supermajority levels.
