Lauren Boebert to Her Constituents: See Ya!

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is taking a gamble with her re-election to Congress by abandoning her current district for redder political pastures. Boebert announced Wednesday that she is ditching the 3rd Congressional District for the more GOP-friendly fourth, hopping into a crowded GOP primary to replace outgoing Republican Ken Buck (via Associated Press):

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert announced Wednesday she is switching congressional districts, avoiding a likely rematch against a Democrat who has far outraised her and following an embarrassing moment of groping and vaping that shook even loyal supporters. 

In a Facebook video Wednesday evening, Boebert announced she would enter the crowded Republican primary in retiring Rep. Ken Buck’s seat in the eastern side of the state, leaving the more competitive 3rd District seat she barely won last year — and which she was in peril of losing next year as some in her party have soured on her controversial style. 

Boebert implied in the video that her departure from the district would help Republicans retain the seat, saying, “I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me personally to steal this seat. It’s not fair to the 3rd District and the conservatives there who have fought so hard for our victories.” 

“The Aspen donors, George Soros and Hollywood actors that are trying to buy this seat, well they can go pound sand,” she said.

Boebert called it “a fresh start,” acknowledging the rough year following a divorce with her husband and video of her misbehaving with a date at a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice” in Denver. The scandal in September rocked some of her faithful supporters, who saw it as a transgression of conservative, Christian values and for which Boebert apologized at events throughout her district.

Boebert was already in troubled waters, though the theater incident didn’t help. She was caught being a little handsy with a date in September during the musical Beetlejuice. Her behavior was so outrageous at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts that she was escorted out of the venue. Was it a bad public relations moment? Yes, but not as bad as Susanna Gibson’s sex shows being unearthed on Chaturbate; Gibson was running for a critical Virginia House of Delegate seat this year. 

It's painfully obvious that Boebert will probably lose to Democrat Adam Frisch, who has outraised her by millions. Boebert beat Frisch in the 2022 election, but only by 546 votes.
