I'm not sure if this was picked up earlier but CO-08:

"“Republicans and Libertarians are joining forces to defeat Yadira Caraveo and her extreme, far-left agenda,” Evans said in a statement, adding that he and Joss were "united in our determination to rein in the size, scope, cost and corruption of government."

Calling Joss' decision a "strategic maneuver" intended to consolidate the anti-incumbent vote, state Libertarian spokesman Jordan Marinovich said the party hoped that the move would prevent Joss from splitting conservative-leaning voters with Evans and "(move) the needle toward more liberty in Colorado

In order to secure Joss's backing, Evans signed a heavily revised version of the "Pledge for Liberty" created last year by Colorado Libertarians, agreeing to uphold promises described as "the best way to make America a freer and more prosperous country."

The pledge itself uses language that is pretty abstract/open to interpretation and the marijuana plank may actually help him a bit. If Harris wins the 8th by around the same 5 point margin Biden won it by or better Caraveo probably wins too. Incumbency should also help, but her very narrow win in 2022 despite Dems crushing it statewide is a concern. Caraveo won 48.4-47.7 in 2022 with the Lib getting the remainder.
