U.S. Rep-elect Evans, SBOE Member-elect Navarro to be featured in town hall

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice A town hall meeting featuring Congressman-elect Gabe Evans and State Board of Education Member-elect Yazmin Navarro, both of the 8th Congressional District, will take place on Friday, Dec. 6, from 1-3 p.m. The town hall is being hosted and offered by Wayne Walvoord, the regional captain in Northern and Eastern Colorado for the Convention of States. Evans unseated Democrat U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo in a race decided by 2,449 votes among 333,609 total votes. He gathered 48.96% of the vote, edging out Caraveo by 0.74%.

Navarro flips 8th District seat on board of education, Democrats grasp on board loosened

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Yazmin Navarro appears to have wrestled the 8th District seat on the State Board of Education away from Rhonda Solis, and with it loosened the Democratic Party's grasp on the board. The State Board of Education is comprised of one elected member from each U.S. House district in Colorado -- there are eight -- and one at-large seat. Republicans entered Election Night needing to defend two of the three seats it held and flip the 8th District seat. The 2nd District seat was uncontested by Republicans. Navarro, who ran on a platform of restoring education as a keystone in the success of young Coloradans, earned 51.0% of the 233,696 votes cast in the 8th District, defeating Democrat Rhonda Solis who had 49.0%, according to results Wednesday, Nov. 6...

In run for state board of education, Yazmin Navarro calls for more voter interaction, education and assistance

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice As the wife of a U.S. Marine and a mother, Yazmin Navarro experienced education models in America and abroad. Those varied experiences as a student and parent, working with at-risk youth and an upbringing with "education at forefront for success" are among the reasons Navarro chose to seek election in Colorado's 8th District to the state board of education. Navarro, the Republican nominee, is being opposed on the general election ballot by Democrat Rhonda Solis. The campaign trail has led Navarro to draw some conclusions which she shared Monday, Sept. 23, on a grassroots call headed by former Sen. Kevin Lundberg. "I'm seeing [Democrats] out there registering voters," Navarro said. "Why can't Republicans do more of that? I want to see us ou...
