Democrat Manny Rutinel wins election to U.S. House in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District

Manny Rutinel, the Democratic candidate, secured a victory in Tuesday's election for the U.S. House of Representatives in Colorado's 8th Congressional District. He faced off against incumbent Republican Gabe Evans. Rutinel highlighted his humble beginnings as the son of a single mother who immigrated from Latin America. He boasts an impressive educational background, being a Yale Law School graduate, a former state legislator, and a former economist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Evans, on the other hand, is an Army veteran and former police officer who served as the district's representative for a single term before his defeat. The Associated Press officially announced Rutinel as the winner at 11:49 p.m. EST.
