Conservative firebrand wins House primary after switching districts after narrow 2022 win
SUMMARY
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., won her congressional re-election primary after switching to the more Republican-heavy 4th Congressional District. She advanced past a six-way Republican primary to replace outgoing Rep. Ken Buck. Boebert moved districts to secure a safer Republican seat, as her previous district had become competitive. Expected to win in November, Boebert's new district heavily supported Trump in 2020. The seat became available after Buck resigned, citing political divisiveness. Boebert made the switch to ensure another Republican could win her old district, demonstrating her commitment to maintaining Republican control.
