Boebert currently represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.
She announced that she will run for re-election to the seat held by Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who represented Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, after he announced his resignation in March.
She did not run in the special election to determine who would serve the remainder of Gov. Buck’s current term.
As Breitbart News previously reported, Boebert blamed Democrats for using “dark money” to try to defeat her in her current district.
Colorado’s 4th Congressional District is considered more conservative than Boebert’s current district. The Denver Post:
The 4th District, which covers much of the state’s eastern plains from the Wyoming border to southern Oklahoma, will be vacated by Buck, who has served a mostly rural district since 2015. Several Republicans have already announced their intention to run in the district, which was recently redrawn to include suburban Douglas County south of Denver.
According to voter registration rolls on file with the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, the 4th District is significantly more conservative than the 3rd District. Republicans outnumber Democrats by about 34,000 votes in Boebert’s current district, but in Buck’s district the difference is nearly 100,000 votes.
Boebert will be in September 2023. Beetlejuice A musical that means “causing a commotion.”
