Colorado Democrats pressure Rep. Gabe Evans for town halls

Colorado Democrats are pushing for Republican Rep. Gabe Evans to hold town halls, but he has not yet hosted any this year. Two other Republican representatives have opted for virtual events, following national GOP advice to avoid in-person gatherings. Democrats are using past tactics to pressure Republicans, recalling a time when a cardboard cutout of a former senator was used to highlight his absence at town halls. They aim to create a similar atmosphere of accountability for current Republican lawmakers. Both parties face challenges at town halls. Democrats are also experiencing pressure from their supporters, with some events interrupted by protests. Recent town halls have included pre-screened questions to manage the discussions and avoid disruptions.
