Evan Munsing knew he wanted to be a Marine from the time he could walk. After college, Evan worked in the Department of Defense while waiting for his chance to attend Officer Candidate School. Eager to serve and defend our country, Evan volunteered for the infantry, knowing it would put him in danger. He deployed twice, including to Afghanistan where he served as a military advisor to the Afghan Army. Since leaving the service, Evan has managed complex organizations with hundreds of employees, hired and coached CEOs, and invested millions into small businesses that have created jobs for hard working Americans. Now, Evan is running to bring independent leadership back to Colorado, protect our way of life, and make sure everyone has the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Stabilizing the economy and growing the middle class - Pushing back on Trump’s disastrous tariffs – which are hurting families, small business owners, and our agricultural community – and taking meaningful action to address the cost-of-living crisis in this country. We need to address overregulation that makes it harder to produce affordable housing, take on the insurance companies that are more focused on profits than making sure patients have good health outcomes, and improve access to childcare and ensure a strong education system for the next generation.Ending corruption - Ending corruption by banning stock trading among members of Congress and enacting term limits and age limits, including term limits in the Supreme Court. Politicians should work for us, not to further their own careers or line their own pocketbooks. We also need campaign finance reform and to put an end to Super PACs and dark money groups that are eroding our democratic system.Defending our individual freedoms - Congress needs to reassert its authority as a balance against the Executive Branch and protect the American people. That means actually holding the Trump Administration accountable, defending due process, and ensuring that individual freedoms – like reproductive rights, are protected.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a Coloradan, I'm passionate about the housing crisis we're seeing in our state. In the last five years, we have seen home prices double. First time homebuyers are locked out of the market and our seniors are unable to downsize and find accessible homes to age in place. We need to be able to reduce red-tape and overregulation in the state so quality homes can be built at a price that homebuyers can afford, invest in vocational programs and local workforce training to be able to scale quickly, and responsibly expand access to financing that people can afford.
