(The Center Square) - Two state Democratic officials are nipping at the heels of the Republican incumbent in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District in what has been deemed one of the nation’s fiercest battleground races. Voters in the politically diverse district have narrowly swapped party representatives in recent elections. This year candidates in the June 30 primary election are arguing the most over cost of living, immigration and government accountability. Colorado’s 8th Congressional District is the state’s newest district, formed north of Denver in a heavily Latino and politically divided region after the 2020 census. The 2022 election saw a Democrat elected to represent the district by a margin of less than 2,000 ballots – fewer than 1% of voters. In 2024, a similarly narrow 0.8% margin put Republican incumbent Gabe Evans in office. This year’s Nov. 3 election is expected to come down to similarly narrow margins. While Evans goes unchallenged in the Republican primary, two Democrats, both with recent experience in the Colorado state House, are vying for their party’s ticket. The two Democrats in Tuesday's primary have endorsed largely similar policies. They both argue for lowering costs for middle-class Americans by reversing tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, expanding social programs and reducing the price on basic needs such as housing. “They're having to pay more for their healthcare because Donald Trump and Gabe Evans have destroyed the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, and put at risk hundreds of thousands of folks from losing their health insurance,” Rutinel told The Center Square, citing Evans’ vote in favor of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. According to nonprofit health plan Colorado Access, over 377,000 state residents are at risk of changed or lost healthcare plans due to the federal law. Evans told The Center Square that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would increase Medicaid spending. The congressman argued the high cost of healthcare in the state was a result of mismanagement by Colorado’s Democratic leadership. On an international issue, Bird said the country needed to open itself back up to its allies. He stressed the need to end the conflict with Iran. “We need to bring our troops home and begin restoring our relationships with our traditional allies around the world to normalize trade relationships so that we can start bringing costs down,” Bird told The Center Square. Government accountability has become a focus for all three major candidates in the race, with both Democrats arguing the need for Congress to act as more of a check to the president’s power. “I would not give the president the power to tariff the way that this Congress has,” said Bird. “As we know, the only part of the government that has the authority to impose taxes is Congress – so that’s front and center.” Both Democratic candidates have also advocated for several changes in immigration enforcement. They said this would mean holding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents more accountable, such as by not wearing masks; providing more clear pathways for immigrants to become citizens; and focusing enforcement on criminals. Rutinel called on his history of voting in favor of Colorado’s Senate Bill 25-276 law, which among other changes, required ICE agents to present a warrant to enter nonpublic areas of public spaces such as schools and hospitals. He also criticized Bird’s excused absence from the vote. The two candidates have sought to differentiate themselves largely outside of policy. At 31 years old, Rutinel would be the fourth-youngest current member of Congress. Having been a representative in the state House, Rutinel has said his experience should speak for itself. Bird has argued her decades living in the 8th District give her a closer connection to the community, while Rutinel said his Latino roots make him a better fit for the district. Incumbent Evans will be looking ahead to the November general election as he runs unopposed in the June 30 Republican primary race. He emphasized his experience representing the 8th District to The Center Square and as the only current Hispanic Congress member from Colorado. “We're trying to find bipartisan solutions to be able to cut through all of the red tape that's strangling our economy,” said Evans, citing state mismanagement as the source of Coloradans’ economic woes. “Colorado is the sixth most heavily regulated state in the country. We are a business-unfriendly state.” According to the Colorado Chamber of Commerce, the state is the sixth-most regulated in the U.S. for business restrictions. Evans contrasted himself with state Democratic leadership, saying he had focused on bipartisan bills while in office. The incumbent has outraised his two Democratic competitors with $4.9 million in total campaign funds. Over $690,000 has come from Grow the Majority Political Action Committee, backed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana. The Republican Defend Our Majority PAC contributed over $280,000 to the campaign. Rutinel led the Democratic candidates with over $4.1 million in campaign funds. He had received over 20,000 contributions up to $6,600 through ActBlue PAC, a Democratic fundraising platform that processes donations from individuals. He also received over $40,000 from 314 Action, a STEM-focused PAC. Bird had raked in nearly $2.2 million in campaign funds, including over 4,800 ActBlue PAC contributions at up to $5,000. Democratic PAC Winthecenter contributed $10,000 to her campaign. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on June 30, Election Day.

A incidência de tabagismo entre pessoas homossexuais e bissexuais é 76% maior do que entre os heterossexuais, aponta um levantamento apresentado pelo Instituto Nacional do Câncer (Inca) nesta quinta-feira (25), em um evento no Rio de Janeiro (RJ).  Uma análise dos microdados da última Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, principal base de informações oficiais sobre a saúde dos brasileiros, lançada em 2019, mostra que 22,4% das pessoas do primeiro grupo consumiam produtos de tabaco, contra 12,7% do segundo grupo.  Notícias relacionadas:Dia Mundial sem Tabaco: novas tecnologias camuflam vapes e são desafio.INCA alerta para os riscos de cigarros com sabor e aroma entre jovens.Considerando apenas os dispositivos eletrônicos, mais conhecidos como vapes, a prevalência entre homossexuais e bissexuais foi quase seis vezes maior, mas a proporção de consumidores é superior em todos os tipos de produtos.  De acordo com a pesquisadora Aline Mesquita, que integra a Divisão de Controle do Tabagismo e Outros Fatores de Risco da Coordenação de Prevenção e Vigilância do Inca, o Brasil já tem uma boa política de controle do tabaco, mas é preciso que ela seja cruzada com a política de promoção da saúde da população LGBTI+ para a criação de estratégias que contemplem esse público específico.   “O tabagismo é o principal fator de risco para doenças crônicas, como doenças cardiovasculares, cânceres, doenças respiratórias. Então, essa prevalência vai ter mais impactos sobre a saúde e a vida dessas pessoas”, alerta Aline. Para a Secretária-Executiva do Conselho Estadual dos Direitos da População LGBTI+ do Rio de Janeiro, Denise Taynah, serviços que tradicionalmente atendem essa população, como as unidades que realizam processo transsexualizador, também devem ser envolvidas nas políticas antitabagismo.  “Como os serviços de saúde vão tratar essas pessoas de uma forma efetiva para que elas reduzam o fumo? A gente precisa de um protocolo para as unidades de saúde colaborarem para aquela pessoa ter uma saúde física e mental melhor e mais anos de vida”, acrescenta.  Indústria Segundo Aline Mesquita, essa diferença já tinha sido verificada anteriormente e também é apontada pela literatura científica. Ela diz que a indústria tabagista também está ciente dessa disparidade e tem investido em ações para estimular o consumo entre as pessoas LGBTI+.  “Muitas vezes, elas fazem o que chamam de “responsabilidade social corporativa”, com o patrocínio de eventos, por exemplo, para criar uma imagem mais positiva, fazendo uma promoção indireta dos seus produtos”, explica. Outra estratégia da indústria é o lançamento de produtos com aromas e sabores, “com uma nova roupagem, cheia de aditivos, passando a ideia de um produto menos danoso, o que é uma grande falácia, mas é uma isca especialmente pro mais jovens”.  Fatores-chave Aline acredita que o preconceito e a violência são fatores-chave para explicar essa maior incidência: “90% das pessoas que fumam começam antes dos 19 anos. Imagina um adolescente, que já tem as vulnerabilidades típicas da adolescência e sofre com esses fatores relacionados à LGBTIfobia” “Há mais chance de um quadro de depressão e ansiedade, e tudo isso acaba sendo um terreno propício para o uso não só de tabaco, mas de álcool e outras drogas”, complementa a pesquisadora do Inca.  A Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde não investigou a identidade de gênero dos brasileiros, mas de acordo com Gab Van, diretor executivo da Liga Transmasculina João W Nery, as mesmas questões favorecem o tabagismo na população transexual.  “Em uma atividade feita pela liga, a gente perguntou para os meninos se eles fumavam e em que período eles começaram e coincidia com um momento de ansiedade, de violência. E quando eles sofriam mais violência era quando eles consumiam mais”, ele conta.  O assessor técnico do Ministério da Saúde Danylo Guimarães explicou que o Sistema Único de Saúde possui uma ferramenta que pode ser usada para produzir dados sobre a população brasileira, o SUS APS, sistema integrado da rede de atenção primária, com mais de 174 milhões de pessoas cadastradas. No entanto, em 2023, apenas 0,15% desses cadastros traziam a informação sobre orientação de gênero.  Por isso, em 2024, os campos “orientação sexual” e “identidade de gênero” passaram a ser de preenchimento obrigatório pelos profissionais de saúde, que primeiro devem perguntar se a pessoa deseja declarar essas informações.  Mesmo com dados escassos, foi possível confirmar a maior incidência de tabagismo na população LGBTI: 19,7% das pessoas que se declararam como homossexuais consumiam produtos de tabaco, contra 7,3% das que se declararam heterossexuais.  “A atenção primária à saúde é a porta de entrada do Sistema Único de Saúde. Então, a gente tem uma capilaridade bem interessante porque estamos em todos os municípios brasileiros. A gente reconhece que a atenção primária pode ser esse lugar de escuta qualificada, precursor dos movimentos para controle do tabaco no Brasil”, defendeu Guimarães.

(The Center Square) - The Silver Cloud Hotel-Stadium’s location within 500 feet of Lumen Field, home of the FIFA World Cup Games played in Seattle, helped the hotel transform empty rooms into a sell-out at the last minute. “It wasn’t easy by any means, and it did not go in the traditional path,” said K.J. Roff, general manager of the hotel. Roff said rosy projections after Seattle was one of the cities awarded the World Cup in 2022 were that the hotel would sell out every one of its 211 rooms two years before the 2026 games. “It didn’t come to fruition,” he said. A report by the American Hotel & Lodging Association in May said that FIFA was canceling room blocks at Seattle hotels and at lodging establishments in other U.S. cities scheduled to host the World Cup. It said tougher visa rules and entry requirements for international travelers may have scared away some visitors. But two weeks ago, the Silver Cloud Hotel started receiving last-minute room bookings, particularly for those attending the USA-Australia match on Friday, June 19. Roff said he was not clear on why reservations suddenly started coming in, filling dozens of empty rooms. "We don't have experience with this," he said. "If Taylor Swift announces a concert, we know the hotel will sell out. Seattle has never hosted the World Cup." Roff said so far it's been all positive. “On Friday, during the USA game, we had record revenue in both the rooms and the restaurant,” he said. “The vibe down here has been outstanding and spectacular." Roff said he expects sold-out rooms for the remaining three games. But it's not just about soccer; the hotel is across the street from T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners. "On Friday, we had the U.S. soccer team and the Boston Red Sox play in the evening,” he said. He said visitors boarding Alaskan cruises from Seattle have also helped business. But hotels still list rooms available for the three remaining World Cup Games, and data from the hotel analytics firm CoStar Group show a more mixed picture of World Cup occupancy in Seattle. Hotel occupancy for the first World Cup game in Seattle on June 15, between Belgium and Egypt, was 74.8%, down 9.8% from the same date a year earlier. However, the average room rate of $244.67 was up 15% from the same date a year earlier. For the USA-Australia match on June 19, CoStar said hotel occupancy was at 84.1%, up only 3% from the same data a year earlier. But room rates of $340.28 were 64.3% higher than those on June 19, 2025. The World Cup has been a mixed bag for Seattle's economy. Retail stores near Luman Field and in tourist areas say business has been booming. Sales increased seven to eight times normal on June 19, the date of the USA-Australia game, said Dani Cone, owner of the Cone & Steiner market by Lumen Field. “It was wall-to-wall people,” she said of the crowd outside her store. "It was spectacular." Beer and hot dogs were popular sellers, she said. Cone said that even on non-game days, business has been better than usual. But it's hard to say the whole city of Seattle is celebrating. Two miles away from the stadium in downtown Seattle, another soccer hub has been established. But you would barely notice it on Wednesday, June 24, at Soccer House. Pacific Place, a mostly empty indoor mall, features Seattle Soccer House, which contains Seattle’s largest viewing screen (70-by-40 feet) spanning four stories, as well as pop-up stores. All that was missing on Wednesday was the fans. The game between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Qatar was shown live from Lumen Field, but only around 150 people viewed the free event at the mall. But it's all about the teams playing. When the USA played Australia, there was a long line to get into the FIFA pop-up merchandise shop at the mall, said the assistant manager, Karla Lugo. The shop sells team jerseys, t-shirts, hats and other FIFA merchandise. She said more than 500 USA jerseys were sold at $375 each, selling out the entire store's supply. At the Pumrosa Candle Store, one of the few permanent stores in the mall, owner Vanessa Barrios said the small mall crowd on Wednesday meant there were few customers. “It’s not very busy,” she said. While the USA-Australia game drew a bigger crowd into her shop, she said very few people purchased products. But Barrios, who also sells online, remained optimistic. “It’s positive to talk to people from all over the world who are visiting,” she said. Barrios said she hoped that people visiting her shop would lead to more internet sales. A variety of factors have kept some tourists away, said Michael Stathokostopoulos, a senior director of hospitality analytics at CoStar Group. He said some of the teams chosen to play in Seattle like Qatar, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Egypt, don’t have big fan bases. Meanwhile, Stathokostopoulos said high airline ticket prices, driven by fuel surcharges from the war in Iran, have also scared away international visitors. Market owner Cone said what has impressed her about the crowds is the positive energy. She said everyone who has visited her store has been respectful, and there have been no violent incidents in her neighborhood by the stadium. A spokesman for the Seattle Police Department, Lieutenant Patrick Michaud, said he did not have a running tally of arrests. “So far, everything has gone really well. Everyone going to the games has been wonderful. It has just been fantastic to show the world how beautiful this city is,” he said. At least one Seattle business owner is waiting for the World Cup to be over. He is hoping that business will get back to normal after the last game on July 6. While the Anh Oi Bake Shop is only a half mile from Lumen Field in the Chinatown International District, owner Vince Ohanhoi said business is down 80% since the games started. He said locals are shunning the area because they are worried about traffic, while World Cup visitors are not interested in his pan-Asian bakery, featuring treats from across Asia. He said the two-month-old bakery was doing well until the World Cup began. He said World Cup visitors seem interested in bars and restaurants rather than Asian delicacies. “I can't wait until things get back to normal,” he said.
