What Gabe Evans said, and what was done

“Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the Deondra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act of 2025. I was incredibly proud to support this bill as it made it's way through the legislative process in the Energy and Commerce Committee, and I am looking forward to it passing with bipartisan support on the House floor.”

“As a former cop for over a decade in the Denver metro area, I know there is nothing more critical to law enforcement operations than open communication between local, State, and Federal agencies.”

“Mr. Speaker, today I rise in support of the SAFEGUARDS Act of which I am a proud original cosponsor. As my colleagues mentioned, this bill ensures that all revenue collected through the 9/11 Passenger Security Fee are invested back into aviation and airport security consistent with the fee's original intent.”

“Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in opposition to the bill before us. Let me be clear: If this was just year-round E15, I would be a ``yes,'' but it is not just year-round E15.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate our Nation's brave men and women and to recognize the High Plains Honor Flight Network, which conducts trips for veterans to Washington, D.C., to tour the monuments built to honor their bravery and service.”

“Mr. Speaker, legislation like the FIRE Act has been asked for time and again by Members of both parties, and it is why I am so proud to lead this bill alongside my good colleague, Adam Gray, a California Democrat.”

“Madam Speaker, I want to briefly respond. One exceptional event waiver has been approved, clearly not workable. As was just discussed, bipartisan Governors--two Democrats from Colorado and Arizona, and two Republicans from Utah and Wyoming--wrote a letter in 2024 saying that this exceptional event process, as it is currently written under the Clean Air Act, is not workable.”

“Madam Speaker, today I rise in strong support of my bipartisan bill, the Expediting Federal Broadband Deployment Reviews Act. This legislation, which I am proud to lead with my colleague from Minnesota, will help streamline broadband permitting to help deliver fast, reliable internet to the communities that need it most by creating a new system for prioritizing broadband deployment requests on or across Federal land.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am a proud cosponsor of this resolution to support full funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Not many policy debates in this Chamber are simple, but this one is.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank the Thornton Fire Department, the Thornton Police Department, and every assisting first responder who rushed to the scene last week to extinguish a suburban wildfire in my district.”

“Mr. Speaker, today I rise in strong support of the Affordable HOMES Act. Housing affordability is top of mind for my constituents, and this bill helps deliver. It cuts red tape by streamlining duplicative regulations for manufactured homes, which improves housing affordability for millions of Americans.”

“Mr. Chair, I am proud to support the bipartisan SPEED Act today, of which I am a cosponsor, because, in part, my home State of Colorado is the sixth most heavily regulated State in the country.”

“Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in strong support of the Power Plant Reliability Act. Last week, my State Planning for Reliability and Affordability Act passed the House with bipartisan support, and today's bill is yet another critical component in the fight to restore sanity when it comes to energy policy in States like Colorado.”

“Madam Speaker, I am proud to stand here today in strong support of my bill, the State Planning for Reliability and Affordability Act, to help drive down the cost of energy for Coloradans and Americans.”

“Mr. Speaker, today I rise in strong support of my bipartisan bill, the Global Investment in American Jobs Act. Mr. Speaker, this is a critical piece of legislation that will help bolster American competitiveness in the face of increasing economic aggression from the Chinese Communist Party, all while helping to create jobs in my home State of Colorado and all across the Nation.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this resolution to denounce the anti-Semitic terrorist attacks that occurred in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, 2025. First and foremost, let me say my heart goes out to the Jewish community, who were peacefully advocating for the release of hostages held by Hamas.”

“Mr. Speaker, I, unfortunately, had other engagements that had been scheduled. The resolution was introduced to, again, focus a component of the dialogue. Of course, our thoughts and our condolences go out, but we need more than thoughts and condolences.”

“Mr. Speaker, Mr. Neguse would tell you that I called him the night of this attack, and I offered my condolences to him and to his constituents and asked him if there was anything that I could do personally to help.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Center for Combat and Battlefield Research (COMBAT) and the Marcus Institute for Brain Health (MIBH) at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado.”

“As a veteran and former first responder, I know that the research, innovation, and clinical work that the COMBAT Center and MIBH conduct are critical for caring for veterans, active-duty military personnel, and first responders who risk their lives daily for their communities.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate the winners and honorable mentions of Northglenn High School's annual Congressional App Challenge. This competition has allowed high school students to recognize and encourage STEM talent across the Nation, as well as in my Congressional District.”

“Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for those incredibly moving tributes and for the words, the memories, and the recognition. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from the 23rd District of California (Mr.”

“Madam Speaker, I rise today during National Police Week in strong support of the law enforcement community and the men and women I served with in my former career as a police officer as we all worked together to protect our communities.”

“John 15:13 talks about the greatest love that someone has as being willing to lay down their life for their friends. Police officers across our country embody that kind of love every single day when they go out and protect our communities.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this bill, H.R. 1682, the Benefits that Endure for Lifetimes Of Service Act, or BELO'S Act, named after Marc Belo, a fellow veteran, aviation legend, and friend with whom I had the great honor of serving.”

“Mr. Speaker, today I rise in strong support of H.R. 881, the DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act, of which I am an original cosponsor.”
