Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert has revealed that she will be seeking re-election in the state's 4th Congressional District in 2024. Boebert, who currently represents Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, made the announcement in a video posted on social media on Wednesday.
The decision comes after Rep. Ken Buck, also a Republican from Colorado, announced in November that he would not be running for re-election in 2024, creating an open seat in the 4th District. Boebert wasted no time in declaring her candidacy, expressing that the move is the right decision personally and aligns with her commitment to advancing the conservative movement.
In her video announcement, Boebert emphasized her determination to prevent the rise of socialism and communism in the United States. She noted that staying in the fight is essential, as she refused to allow outside influences, such as Hollywood elites and progressive money groups, to sway the representation of Colorado's 3rd District, a seat she has been holding.
Boebert acknowledged that the past year had been challenging for her and her family, including a divorce and personal mistakes. However, she emphasized the importance of growth and learning from those experiences, indicating that this announcement marks a fresh start for her.
With her narrow re-election in 2022, securing victory with only 546 votes against Democrat Adam Frisch, Boebert faces formidable challenges in her bid for re-election. Frisch has significantly outraised Boebert and intends to run again for Colorado's 3rd District.
The Republican primary for Buck's vacated seat in the 4th District is gaining momentum, with Jerry Sonnenberg, a rancher and former Colorado state senator, set to declare his bid for the GOP nomination. Sonnenberg's deep ties to the solidly Republican rural Colorado district, combined with his experience as a farmer and rancher, could make him a formidable contender in the race.
Notably, four other Republicans and three Democrats have already declared their candidacy for Buck's seat, setting the stage for a competitive election in the 4th District.
Boebert's decision to shift to a different district in pursuit of re-election reflects the dynamic nature of Colorado's political landscape. As the race for the 4th District seat unfolds, the state's voters will have the opportunity to shape the future representation of their communities.
