Interesting how one can run in any district, in CO ... and, not have to live in said district....just live in the state.

.. Boebert’s Competition
The Republican primary is a crowded six-way race to replace Rep. Ken Buck, who is retiring. The other candidates include Deborah Flora, Jerry Sonnenberg, Richard Holtorf, Michael Lynch and Peter Yu.
But Boebert, who has the better name recognition, is outraising them all handily and has the golden ticket of Trump’s endorsement. She also secured the coveted top line on the ballot. For a heavily Republican district, that should lock the primary in her favor. Indeed, the most recent poll from Kaplan shows Boebert at 40%, with her challengers hovering at or below 5%.
Despite her own drama and trouble-making, a few of her opponents have their own baggage: Lynch was forced out of his leadership post in the Statehouse after a 2022 drunk driving arrest surfaced. And Holtorf, a staunch anti-abortion member of the State House, revealed that he had once paid for a girlfriend’s abortion.
If she wins the Republican primary, she’ll face Democrat Ike McCorkle, a retired Marine who is currently out-fundraising her. But given the district’s political leanings, it would be Boebert’s race to lose. McCorkle ran to unseat Buck in the last two elections, but never came within 20 points of him....
“Ike McCorkle... who is currently out-fundraising her.”
Wishful thinking (and/or a deliberate lie) by the liberal media, and totally out of line with the facts.
As of the most recent FEC data from earlier this month:
Boebert has raised $3.77 million, McCorkle has raised $1.45 million.
Boebert has out-spent the Democrat by a 3:1 margin and has 4x as much cash on hand as he does.
