科罗拉多州第8国会选区联邦众议员民主党候选人曼尼·鲁蒂内尔于周二晚间赢得初选，获得本党提名，将挑战现任共和党众议员加布·埃文斯。
作为州众议院议员的鲁蒂内尔将参与这场全国最具竞争力的选战之一，这场选举可能影响华盛顿的权力平衡——目前共和党在众议院、参议院和白宫均掌握执政主导权。
民主党将这类选区视为夺回共和党对众议院微弱掌控权的绝佳机会，目前共和党在众议院仅保有微弱多数席位。
现任议员埃文斯2024年当选时仅以0.8%的优势胜出。

鲁蒂内尔曾担任州议员，他将自己定位为一名民主党人，承诺保护政府项目免受共和党削减，并保护少数群体免受政府过度执法的侵害。
在其竞选网站上，他将保护社会保障和医疗补助、扩大税收抵免、终结特朗普的移民打压政策、降低住房成本列为首要议程。
“我是靠医疗补助长大的，这对我而言意义非凡。但如今唐纳德·特朗普和加布·埃文斯正试图摧毁这项福利，只为给他们的亿万富翁盟友提供税收减免，”鲁蒂内尔在发布到Instagram的竞选视频中说道。
“我担心唐纳德·特朗普会继续摧毁我们的民主和经济，让工薪阶层和全国各地的拉丁裔移民的生活难以为继。”
共和党利用曼达尼关联策略瞄准两场关键民主党选区竞选

由于鲁蒂内尔的施政纲领包含对富人增税、全民医保等内容，共和党一直试图将他与纽约市长佐赫兰·曼达尼相提并论。
“那些政策在纽约或许吃得开，但科罗拉多州选民并不买账，”埃文斯的一名发言人去年11月在被问及两人的相似之处时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
埃文斯的竞选团队在周二晚间鲁蒂内尔获胜后也表达了类似观点。
“民主党选出了一名极左翼、激进的社会主义者，一名‘曼达尼第二’极端分子——他支持取消石油和天然气产业、解散执法部门、用恶劣言辞攻击农牧场主，并威胁支撑美国经济的支柱产业。作为一名前警察、陆军退伍军人、墨西哥移民的孙子、丈夫和父亲，同时也是本选区引以为傲的议员，我将继续为保护和提升科罗拉多州辛勤工作的家庭而奋斗，同时保障我们社区的安全和经济的强劲发展，”埃文斯在一份声明中说道。
全国共和党国会委员会（NRCC）也于周二晚间发表声明。
“社会主义思潮接管民主党已不再局限于深蓝据点。激进分子正在掌控摇摆选区，让民主党必争的席位变得遥不可及，摧毁他们夺回众议院的希望，”全国共和党国会委员会发言人迈克·马里内拉说道。
此外，众议院共和党筹款机构分支国会领导基金（CLF）发布了一段曼达尼竞选集会的Instagram视频，以此证明鲁蒂内尔与曼达尼属于同一类人。
视频中短暂出现一名疑似鲁蒂内尔的人站在曼达尼身后。

“科罗拉多州第8选区的竞选与纽约市长竞选有何共同点？民主党候选人曼尼·鲁蒂内尔在两场竞选中都参与了拉票活动，”国会领导基金在其中一则广告中写道。
鲁蒂内尔已获得本党提名，将于11月3日的大选中与埃文斯展开对决。

Manny Rutinel, a Democratic candidate for Congress in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, won a primary race on Tuesday evening, securing his party’s bid to challenge incumbent Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Colo.
Rutinel, a member of the state’s House of Representatives, faces one of the country’s most competitive races that could help decide the balance of power in Washington, D.C., where Republicans hold a governing trifecta across the House, Senate and Oval Office.
Democrats see seats like this district as a prime opportunity to pry away the GOP’s narrow grip on the House, where they have a slim majority.
Evans, the current seat holder, won the election in 2024 by just 0.8%.

Rutinel, a former state legislator, has pitched himself as a Democrat ready to protect government programs against GOP cuts and protect minorities against government overreach.
On his website, he lists protecting Social Security and Medicaid, expanding tax credits, ending Trump’s immigration crackdown, and lowering housing costs among his top priorities.
“I was raised on Medicaid. It’s deeply personal for me and now Donald Trump and Gabe Evans are trying to destroy it to give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies,” Rutinel said in a campaign video posted to Instagram.
“I’m afraid of Donald Trump continuing to destroy our democracy and our economy and making life impossible for working people and Latino immigrants across the country.”
REPUBLICANS TARGET 2 KEY DEMOCRATIC RACES WITH MAMDANI CONNECTION STRATEGY

Because his platform includes elements like expanding taxes on the rich and universal healthcare, Republicans have made efforts to paint Rutinel as in the same vein as New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
“Those policies may sell in New York, but Coloradans aren’t buying it,” a spokesperson for Gabe Evans told Fox News Digital when asked about the similarities back in November.
Evan’s campaign echoed that thinking in its reaction to Rutinel’s win on Tuesday evening.
“Democrats have chosen a far-left, radical socialist, Mamdani-wanna-be extremist — someone who supports eliminating oil and gas, defunding law enforcement, calling farmers and ranchers horrific and threatening the industries that power our economy. As a former cop, Army veteran, grandson of Mexican immigrants, husband, father and the proud Representative of this district, I’ll continue fighting to protect and uplift Colorado’s hardworking families while keeping our communities safe and our economy strong,” Evans said in a statement.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) also issued a statement on Tuesday evening.
“The socialist takeover of the Democrat Party is no longer confined to deep-blue strongholds. The radicals are taking over battleground districts, putting must-win seats out of reach for Democrats and sinking their chances of flipping the House,” Mike Marinella, a spokesperson for the NRCC said.
Moreover, the Congressional Leadership Fund, an arm of the House Republican fundraising apparatus, highlighted a video posted to Instagram of a Mamdani campaign rally, offering it as proof that Rutinel belongs in the same bucket as Mamdani.
The video briefly shows someone who appears to be Rutinel standing behind Mamdani.

“What does the CO-08 race have in common with the NYC Mayoral Race? Democrat Manny Rutinel is campaigning in both,” CLF pointed out in one of its ads.
Having secured his party’s nomination, Rutinel will face off against Evans in the general election on Nov. 3.
