Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., secured a victory in her first primary election after switching districts earlier this year. Boebert beat out five competitors in the GOP race in Colorado’s 4th District. The controversial Republican had previously represented the neighboring 3rd District but decided to take a chance in the eastern part of the state after Rep. Ken Buck announced he would not seek reelection.
Boebert’s decision to switch districts was met with skepticism, as some believed she was trying to avoid a potential defeat. Despite facing public scandals, including being kicked out of a theater and her son’s arrest on criminal charges, Boebert was able to secure the primary win. She will now face Democrat Trisha Calvarese in the November election, with the 4th District being heavily Republican.
In a statement, Boebert expressed her commitment to fighting for Colorado and the conservative movement. Her win in the primary sets her up to potentially return to Congress next year. The 4th District has historically supported Republican candidates, with Buck winning by a large margin in the 2022 midterms.
Despite facing challenges and controversies, Boebert’s victory in the primary solidifies her position as a prominent figure in Colorado politics. Her win sets the stage for a heated battle in the upcoming election against Democrat Trisha Calvarese.
