Lauren Boebert’s tough re-election fight in a district designed to favor a Republican incumbent. Out of more than 300,000 ballots cast, Boebert and her Democratic challenger, Adam Frisch, are currently separatedI used to work in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District as a communicator for two elections. Back in 2004, in another historic midterm year that bucked the trend, Republican President Bush maintained party control of the House, yet CO-3 still sent a Democrat to Congress.
It’s a contrarian district that requires a congressperson to equally represent elites in Aspen, roughnecks in Rifle, and union workers in Pueblo. This was once Ben Nighthorse Campbell’s seat, the Cheyenne candidate who infamously switched parties to become a senator and famously wore bolo ties in D.C.
Conventional wisdom is that no one from the fancy ski slopes of Aspen could win districtwide. John Salazar won as a Democrat because he was an active farmer and rancher from the valley. Frisch was on the Aspen City Council, easily labeled a city slicker. But Boebert leaned into a brand of Christian evangelism better suited for Colorado Springs, arguing against the separation of church and state. She touted her use of guns, displaying a lack of basic gun safety in her virtual background displays.
In a district gerrymandered for a Republican, Boebert has tried too hard to be a personality and instead became the caricature of Western frontier spirit held dear by rural Coloradoans. She’s all hat, no cattle, which is why we’re now seeing Republican counties rejecting her extreme positions and independent voters willing to take a chance on the Pitkin County financial planner. At least he makes sense.
