Boebert’s decision to run in a new district, announced last year, shook up the Colorado House races on the ballot Tuesday.
Last year’s decision by Rep. Lauren Boebert to run for reelection in a new district looms over Tuesday’s Colorado primaries, which also carry broader consequences for the battle over the House majority.— instead of her current 3rd District. She faces a crowded GOP primary in the 4th District on Tuesday, while there is also a special election to finish Buck’s term in which Boebert is not a candidate.
Boebert’s district swap came after a surprisingly close contest in 2022 against Frisch, a former Aspen City Council member who came within 600 votes of unseating her. In Boebert’s old district, Frisch is unopposed in the Democratic primary but has been running a vigorous effort to bend the GOP primary in favor of Hanks, a former state representative who has echoed Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Hanks
The activity has caught the attention of the Congressional Leadership Fund, the main GOP super PAC focused on House races, which has spent over $400,000 opposing Hanks.Hanks is up against five other Republicans on Tuesday, including an attorney, Jeff Hurd. Frisch has aired attack ads against Hurd — a possible sign of who Hanks’s closest primary competition could be.
