Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has won the GOP primary in Colorado’s eastern 4th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Boebert defeated a group of Republican challengers to prevail in the Republican contest to replace former Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), defying assumptions early on in the primary cycle that her days in Congress were numbered.

The Colorado Republican, who currently represents the western 3rd Congressional District, initially ran for another term in that district, after narrowly winning her second term against Democrat Adam Frisch by several hundred votes in 2022.

She decided late last year to instead run in the eastern — and safely red — 4th Congressional District to avoid another expensive and competitive House race. But Boebert’s path to winning the Republican nomination was far from certain when she decided to run in the new district.

I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE YOU CANNOT CONTROL YOUR HUSBAND.

LOL...That brought quite a smile to me. I share that experience.

This district is deeper red.

[SaxxonWoods]

Heh, heh, heh, interesting.

[flamberge]

That works for me.

She votes right.

[catnipman]

polls prior to the election had her up by double digits ...

[broken_clock]

Yes. As sketchy as her personal life seems to be, she is a solid outspoken conservative in an increasingly blue state.

Agreed. Go Boebert 👍

Eastern Colorado is mainly ranch country and irrigation farming . . . as red as western Kansas.
