Marine Veteran Evan Munsing Withdraws from Colorado's 8th Congressional District Race

Evan Munsing, a former U.S. Marine and finance professional, has announced his withdrawal from the Democratic primary race for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District. Munsing, who has never held political office, cited the preference of Washington insiders to support career politicians over outsiders as a key reason for his decision. Despite polling data indicating voter interest in candidates with military and business backgrounds, Munsing consistently trailed behind his opponents, former state Rep. Shannon Bird and state Rep. Manny Rutinel. His withdrawal leaves these two candidates to compete for the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Gabe Evans in the upcoming November election. Munsing's name will still appear on the June 30 primary ballot, although he will not participate in the scheduled debate.

The Colorado River Wildfire Collaborative has appointed a program manager to address wildfire mitigation in the high-risk region between Glenwood Springs and De Beque, Colorado. This area has been identified as particularly vulnerable to wildfires due to a combination of climate change-driven factors, including a historically low snowpack and drier landscapes. Last summer, the Lee Fire burned 137,758 acres, making it the fifth-largest wildfire in Colorado's history. The collaborative, supported by a $350,000 investment over three years, aims to enhance fire resistance in the region.

The initiative will focus on identifying projects, securing additional grants, and implementing mitigation strategies such as prescribed burns and vegetation management.
