ICYMI: Shannon Bird is the Candidate to Beat Gabe Evans
FOX31 Political Analyst: Bird has “the right message, the money, the power, the momentum” to unseat Evans
Westminster, Colorado — In case you missed Saturday’s edition of Colorado Point of View on CW2/FOX31, Shannon Bird is the right candidate to beat Gabe Evans:
Anchor Ashley Michels: Who do you think gives Democrats the best chance at winning this seat back?
Colorado Point of View Analyst Andy Boian: I would say Shannon Bird has a well put together campaign, she’s got the right message…It seems to me Shannon Bird has the money, she has the power, and she has the momentum behind her to get going.

Colorado Point of View’s recognition comes amidst growing momentum for Bird, who in recent weeks earned the endorsement of two national groups, Elect Democratic Women and EMILYs List, after posting two strong consecutive fundraising quarters. Bird’s track record of lowering costs and growing good-paying jobs is also why she is the only labor endorsed candidate in this race and one of the most labor-endorsed congressional candidates in the country. She holds more than 140 endorsements — more than twice the entire primary field combined — and has made over 70 stops across the district to meet with voters and community institutions.
About Shannon Bird
Shannon was raised by a single mom and her grandmother, who dealt blackjack in Reno, Nevada and used her tips to help Shannon get through college. They taught her how to work hard, give back and fight for what’s right.
With a passion for improving education for every student, Shannon started in public service by volunteering in her kids’ classrooms and co-founded an organization that empowers students, parents, teachers and communities to create more equitable local schools. She led a bond measure campaign for the Adams 12 district in 2014 to fix and improve local schools, leading to her serving on the Westminster City Council and then in the Colorado State House where she served for three years on the Joint Budget Committee.
Prior to serving in public office, Shannon worked in the private sector practicing law in the fields of public and commercial finance, helping to get large community projects like roads, bridges, schools and hospitals off the ground.
Shannon is committed to showing up for the people of Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, and working together to deliver real results for hardworking Coloradans and families – because that’s what she’s always done. Her campaign has earned the endorsement of over 130 leaders in the district and across Colorado, as well as the International Association of Fire Fighters, the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Association, Plumbers Local Union 3, ATU Local 1001, Heat & Frost Insulators Local 28, Elect Democratic Women, and EMILYs List.
