U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert faces her first election in a Republican primary since she fled a tough reelection bid in Colorado and ran in a more favorably red congressional district across the state. Boebert, who planted her MAGA flag in the U.S. House of Representatives, has amassed conservative clout across the country.
FILE - Rep. Lauren Boebert , R-Colo., speaks during a news conference, July 14, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Boebert faces her first election in Colorado ’s GOP primary election Tuesday, June 25, 2024, after she fled a tough reelection race to run in a more Republican-leaning district. FILE - Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party Dave Williams speaks in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, Feb. 8, 2024, in Washington.
Whoever wins that Republican primary is expected to claim the seat in the heavily conservative 4th Congressional District, which sweeps across a wide expanse of ranches, ghost towns and a conservative metropolitan area that make up Colorado’s western plains. Its voters overwhelmingly backed former President Donald Trump in 2020.
In the 5th Congressional District race, Republican candidate Dave Williams faces condemnation from his own ranks and demands for his resignation as the state GOP’s chair. Williams has been accused of using his position as chairman and state party resources to boost his own campaign. Voters will choose between a hardline MAGA acolyte in Williams, who has parroted Trump’s lies about the 2020 election and attacked fellow Republicans who don’t align, and Crank, who’s molded in an older, more pragmatic GOP tradition. Whichever candidate succeeds in the primary will be favored against the Democratic nominee in the Republican-friendly district.
