“The stakes in this election are very high. No matter which Republican wins the nomination, they each have the same goal: to reverse the progress we’ve fought for and return to the same failed ideas that contributed to the economic crisis,” Evans said during the event.
“It is our job to stand together and fight to keep President Obama in office and keep our country moving forward."
