Representative Shannon Bird
@ShannonBird4CO
Shaped by resilience. Driven by real results. Running for Congress in CO-08 to protect our freedoms, grow our economy, and give every Coloradan a fair shot.
Last week, Gabe Evans voted against releasing the Epstein files. This week, he and Speaker Johnson quit work early to avoid voting on releasing the files. Why is Gabe helping hide the files instead of giving the American people the answers we deserve? apnews.com/article/congre…
Gabe Evans was just named the most vulnerable incumbent seeking reelection in the country. Together, we’ll fire him for voting to raise costs and take away Coloradans’ healthcare. #CO08 nationaljournal.com/s/729154/ihotl…
Thankful to have the support of State Representative @WSLindstedt. Representative Lindstedt is dedicated to working for more affordable housing, securing public education, and protecting our environment. I'm excited to work together as we build a brighter future for our state.

I'm thankful to have the support of State Representative Michael Carter. Michael is a community leader as well as a fierce advocate for public education. I'm excited to work with him to create a brighter and better future for all of Colorado.

I'm so grateful to have the endorsement of CO House Speaker @McCluskieforCO ! 💙 Speaker McCluskie is a smart, compassionate, and tireless leader who fights for strong communities & economic opportunity. I’m proud to have her support in our campaign for CO-08! #copolitics #CO08

I'm holding those lost, and the survivors, in my heart as we remember the lives that were tragically taken by gun violence in the Aurora Theater Shooting on July 20, 2012. #RememberingAurora

"Bird outraised the entire Democratic primary field after only six weeks in the race... and earned the endorsements of more than 100 current and former elected officials and community leaders across Colorado – more than the entire primary field combined." coloradocommunitymedia.com/2025/07/17/wes…
Thanks to Gabe Evans’ bill, Coloradans buying private health insurance are about to see prices skyrocket. I’ve worked to lower healthcare costs in the legislature, and I’ll continue to work to lower costs in Congress.

Big news – We outraised the entire #CO08 five candidate primary field, including raising more than three of our opponents *combined* 💪 Together, we'll fire Gabe Evans for voting to strip away Coloradans' health care coverage and raising costs on families.

Recently I joined FRCC & Westminster Public Schools as they signed a game-changing partnership at the Iver C. Ranum Innovation Campus to help students & adults advance their education & careers. Smart use of public funds with lasting community impact! 👏 #Education #Workforce



I'm so grateful to have the endorsement of former State Senator and current Jefferson County Commissioner Rachel Zenzinger. Rachel is a tireless advocate for our communities, and I’m proud to stand with her as we work together for a better future for Colorado. Let’s get to work!

Honored to have the endorsement of Tracy Kraft-Tharp — former State Rep. & Jeffco Commissioner! Tracy is a proven leader with a deep commitment to public service who gets real results for Colorado families. I'm excited to work with Tracy to keep Colorado moving forward.

Gabe Evans' budget bill is gutting access to health care in Colorado. #PlannedParenthood are no longer providing critical care to Medicaid patients in our state. In Congress, I'll work to reverse these cuts. cpr.org/2025/07/11/one…
Proud to have the endorsement of CU Regent At Large @elliottvhood! Elliott’s dedication to expanding access to quality education inspires me, and I’m grateful to have his support as we work to build a brighter future for all Coloradans.

The Trump administration froze $70 million of funding for Colorado's schools – and Gabe Evans is silent. In Congress, I'll make sure we get our fair share of tax dollars – not sit by as critical programs and services are ripped away from our kids. cpr.org/2025/07/07/col…
The GOP budget is devastating for Colorado. I talked to @DenverChannel about the impact of Medicaid and SNAP cuts, which will raise costs for everyone and harm the most vulnerable. denver7.com/news/politics/…
Proud to be endorsed by State Senator @Dylan_RobertsCO! Dylan’s leadership on housing, healthcare, and rural issues makes a real difference for Colorado families. I’m excited to work with him to deliver results for communities across our state.

It was great to visit this morning with childcare providers in Adams County. Our early learning providers are doing critical work – but federal funding cuts are squeezing providers and families. In Congress, I'll work to make childcare more affordable for Colorado families.
Grateful to have the endorsement of former Adams County District Attorney Bob Grant! Bob’s lifelong commitment to justice and public safety makes his support especially meaningful as we work to build a safer, stronger Colorado.

Congrats to @UFCW_7 Safeway & Albertsons workers on reaching a tentative agreement for fairer wages, benefits, and working conditions!
After 46 hours of bargaining, we’ve reached a tentative agreement! This is a major step forward thank you to everyone who stood strong and made this possible! Vote locations and dates TBA! #ourunionourpower
