Campaign website

Evans’s campaign website stated the following:

JOBS
Resources in this district provide a thriving coal, timber, and natural gas industries, but intrusive federal regulations have crippled these job-producing industries. I will work to responsibly remove cumbersome rules from these industries.

IMMIGRATION
We must have strict immigration control. That starts with building the wall to ensure our nation’s security. I will introduce and support legislation to build a border wall, push back on blanket amnesty, deprive sanctuary cities of federal funding, and enforce strict employer verification requirements for their employees to end non-US citizen labor demand.

NATIONAL DEBT
Our nation’s debt is a national security threat. Our inflation and debt spending are out of control. We must balance our budget, end the needless spending, and dramatically change the entitlement spending.

STOP ENDLESS WARS
We must end our endless wars. As a congressman, I will introduce legislation to withdraw our troops from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan and push our Intelligence community to develop practical ways to combat terrorism without major troop deployments offensively. Our troops should not be used for regime change wars on foreign soil. Our failed nation-building wars have been going on for decades. These wars must end immediately.

SUPPORTING OUR MILITARY
Our nation must retain a modern and highly skilled military, poised to strike and deter our enemies around the world at a moment’s notice. I support modernizing our force to focus on our main threat, China. For the past two decades, we have focused on ground counter-terror and counter-insurgency operations. We must support a decisive pivot to fighting a modern nation in every warfare domain, especially cyber and information warfare.

SUPPORTING OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT
I fully support the men and women of our law enforcement community. I will fight any efforts to defund the police. I will fight to use the tools of federal law enforcement to dismantle the Antifa and BLM terrorist organizations.

CHINESE AGGRESSION
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is a national security threat and is already at war with us. China is stealing US intellectual property, buying US farm land, and using slave labor to undercut global manufacturing. We must focus on balancing our budget to strengthen the US dollar, onshore our industries and prevent our China (and other countries) from purchasing our land. I strongly support President Trump’s tariffs, barring of Chinese technology, and cracking down on the CCP’s infiltration of US industry, think tanks, and universities.

FOREIGN POLICY
Putting this nation first will always be my guiding principle when dealing with issues abroad. We are the leader of the free world because we are strong at home. I will empower the State Department to build and retain relationships with nations that share our values and advance our interests. I strongly support the historic accomplishments of the Abraham accords in the Middle East. We must strengthen our NATO alliance and ensure that NATO shoulders its share of the security burden and does not support Russia by purchasing Russian oil and gas. To fortify our key alliances, we must not lead our allies on foolish nation-building endeavors as we have done in Afghanistan for nearly twenty years. We should only ask that our allies go to war when it is absolutely necessary.

ABORTION
I am a pro-life Christian. I will work tirelessly to protect the rights of unborn children. I will work to cut off federal funding for abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood, and I will work to codify Pro-Life laws at the federal level.

EDUCATION
We need to get the federal government out of our schools and return curriculum development to the states. I will work to prevent Planned Parenthood, The 1619 Project, and Critical Race Theory from entering the curriculum of our schools.

1ST AMENDMENT AND SECTION 230 REFORM
The social media technocrats are monopolies and must be broken up. The internet and access to social media is a modern public utility. I am a free speech advocate; free speech is a sacred right in this nation that no one can take from us. Our technology and social media companies have crossed the line by depriving people of their ability to express themselves and operate in our society. Social media have repeatedly acted on behalf of the far left. Myself and many other conservatives have been censored or even banned from social media sites, most notably was President Trump being banned. Another example is the Hunter Biden laptop / NY Post issue just before the 2020 election as an example of big tech that has gone off the rails. We need to examine how big tech impedes Americans’ rights and remove big tech’s ability to act like a nation-state.

2ND AMENDMENT
I support the 2nd Amendment as it is written. Shall not be infringed. I will push for Constitutional Carry/concealed carry permit reciprocity in all 50 states, so all citizens can exercise their right to bear arms and defend themselves without government interference.

2ND AMENDMENT
I support the 2nd Amendment as it is written. Shall not be infringed. I will push for Constitutional Carry/concealed carry permit reciprocity in all 50 states, so all citizens can exercise their right to bear arms and defend themselves without government interference.

TAXES
The government overtaxes hard-working Americans and appears to feel little obligation to account for the money it demands. I will work to lower our individual and corporate federal income taxes and go after government excess in every aspect of the federal government. I will vote no on any proposal that raises the taxes on American citizens.

HEALTH CARE
Government involvement in health care has driven the cost up. We should deregulate health care, allow for more competition in the market, make medical expenses tax-deductible and allow individuals to purchase insurance across state lines. We also need to remove the high-deductible insurance policy requirement to access Health Savings Accounts.

HEALTH FREEDOM
I support Health Freedom 100%. We must repeal the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act and the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. We need to end the one size fits all “”vaccine schedule” and force big pharma to pay reparations to the vaccine-injured. We must prevent the government from using “public health” to seize emergency powers and provide constitutional protections for medical autonomy. Last, but definitely not least, we must defund the WHO, WEF, FDA, CDC, NIH, etc.

HIGH-COST PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
I will fight to make a federal cap on the cost of high-demand prescription drugs such as insulin to protect our citizens from the big pharma’s predatory practices.

TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS AND THE SENATE
We must put an end to career politicians. Our founders fought against the ruling class and monarchy to create a government of the people by the people. We need more regular government officials who go to DC to serve their people and return to the communities that elected them. I will push to have Congressional and Senate term limits mirror the limits placed on the President.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
Energy Independence is non-negotiable and is a matter of national security. I will pursue an all-of-the-above strategy that utilizes our coal, natural gas, and oil reserves. We still have hundreds of years of energy reserves, and we need to use them to continue Making America Great Again.

ELECTION INTEGRITY
I don’t mince words. The 2020 election was stolen. We must clean up our elections by putting an end to the ballot harvesting and machine manipulation. I will work with experts such as Mike Lindell, and True The Vote (2,000 Mules) to fight for election integrity across the country. We need free and fair elections where only LEGAL ballots are counted.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM
My unfortunate situation of going to prison gives me a unique perspective unlike most members of Congress. I have been through the system from beginning to end. Our system is broken, and I want to help fix it.

END THE FED
We must fully audit and possibly end the privately owned Federal Reserve.

PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY
We must work to protect the social security benefits that our senior citizens were forced to pay and now depend on. I will also propose and support legislation to end the federal tax on Social Security Income which will put more money in the pockets of our senior citizens living on a fixed income.[7]

Convicted for participation in Capitol breach on Jan. 6, 2021

See also: Noteworthy criminal misconduct in American politics (2021-2022)

Evans was sentenced to three months in prison for his participation in the breach of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.[9] The U.S. Department of Justice initially charged Evans on January 8, 2021, and, after pleading guilty to a single felony count of civil disorder on March 18, 2022, Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced Evans on June 22, 2022. Evans finished serving his sentence on October 20, 2022.

On Jan. 6, 2021, the day Congress met to count Electoral College votes from the 2020 presidential election, a group of people attending a pro-Donald Trump protest breached the Capitol and the building went into lockdown. The group trespassed through several security barriers, leading to altercations with police and other security officials. Evans shared a Facebook Live video from the Capitol. He entered the building and could be heard in the video chanting, "Trump" and "Our House," and saying, "We're in. Derrick Evans is in the Capitol." Evans deleted the video from his Facebook page. He posted the following statement:[10][11][12]

As many of you know, for the last few years, I have traveled across the country to film many different events. Today, I had the opportunity to film another event in DC. I want to assure you all that I did not have any negative interactions with law enforcement nor did I participate in any destruction that may have occurred. I was simply there as an independent member of the media to film history.[7]

On Jan. 8, 2021, a U.S. Department of Justice spokesman announced that Evans had been charged with one count each of knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted area and of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.[13] On May 3, 2021, the Department of Justice charged Evans with one count each of disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.[14] On June 28, 2021, Evans was charged with one count of obstruction of an official proceeding.[15]

On May 26, 2021, Evans entered a plea of not guilty on all four charges. Both Evans' defense attorney and the prosecutor assigned to the case confirmed that plea negotiations were ongoing but did not elaborate further.[16]

On June 26, 2021, a federal grand jury indicted Evans on a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting.[17]

In a September 10, 2021, status hearing, Evans entered a not guilty plea on the felony count of obstructing an official proceeding.[18]

Evans pleaded guilty to a single felony count of civil disorder on March 18, 2022.[19] On June 22, 2022, Judge Lamberth sentenced Evans to three months in prison for his role in the breach, which he completed on October 20, 2022.[20][9]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in West Virginia

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
