JOHN, I’m Shannon Bird, the Democrat running for Congress in Colorado’s 8th District.

This race is one of the most competitive in the entire country — and it will determine control of the House majority. I’m stepping up because the stakes are simply too high to sit on the sidelines.

Before I go on, I hope you’ll split a contribution between my campaign and Win The Center to replace MAGA Gabe Evans today:

I was raised by my mom and grandmother. My mom was an insurance clerk, and my grandmother was a blackjack dealer who used her tip money to put me through college. They both worked long hours and taught me how to work hard, give back, and fight for what’s right.

When I settled in Westminster to raise my family, I saw firsthand how our public schools were underfunded. I rolled up my sleeves and became chair of our school district’s bond campaign, and later co-founded an education advocacy organization dedicated to empowering students and their families.

That work inspired me to run for office — first for Westminster City Council, then for the State House, where I proudly serve today. In the legislature, I’ve fought to create and protect jobs, support small businesses, combat climate change, and defend abortion rights.

Now, I’m running for Congress to stop Donald Trump and Gabe Evans’ assault on our way of life and make sure Colorado remains a place where everyone can achieve their dreams.

This district will be the deciding factor in which party controls the House, and I need you by my side to win. Will you split a donation of any amount today to flip CO-08 blue?
