“Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) announced Wednesday night that she is ditching her reelection bid next year in Colorado’s 3rd congressional district to run instead in the state’s 4th congressional district, which is on the other side of the state and is far more favorable to Republicans,” the Colorado Sun reports.
“The 3rd district leans 9 percentage points in Republicans’ favor while the 4th district leans 27 points toward the GOP.”
Said Boebert, in a Facebook video: “I did not arrive at this decision easily. A lot of prayer, a lot of tough conversations and a lot of perspective convinced me that this is the best way I can continue to fight for Colorado, for the conservative movement and for my children’s future.”
