Lauren Boebert switches congressional districts, avoiding a Democratic opponent

DENVER (AP) — Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert announced Wednesday she is switching congressional districts, avoiding a likely rematch against a Democrat who has far outraised her and following an embarrassing moment of groping and vaping that shook even loyal supporters.

In a Facebook video Wednesday evening, Boebert announced she would enter the crowded Republican primary in retiring Rep. Ken Buck's seat in the eastern side of the state, leaving the more competitive 3rd District seat she barely won last year — and which she was in peril of losing next year as some in her party have soured on her controversial style.

Boebert implied in the video that her departure from the district would help Republicans retain the seat, saying, "I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me personally to steal this seat. It’s not fair to the 3rd District and the conservatives there who have fought so hard for our victories.”

“We have to protect our majority in the House," she said.

Boebert called it “a fresh start,” acknowledging the rough year following a divorce with her husband and video of her misbehaving with a date at a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice” in Denver. The scandal in September rocked some of her faithful supporters, who saw it as a transgression of conservative, Christian values and for which Boebert apologized at events throughout her district.

She already faced a primary challenge in her district, as well as a general election face-off with Democrat Adam Frisch, a former Aspen city council member who came within a few hundred votes of beating her in 2022. A rematch was expected, with Frisch raising over $7.7 million so far to Boebert's $2.4 million.

Instead, if Boebert wins the primary to succeed Buck she will run in the state's most conservative district, which former President Donald Trump won by about 20 percentage points in 2020, in contrast to his margin of about 8 percentage points in her district.

“It’s the right move for me personally, and it’s the right decision for those who support our conservative movement. This is the right move for Colorado, for us,” Boebert said in her video.

Boebert rocked the political world by notching a surprise primary win against the incumbent Republican congressman in the 3rd District in 2020 when she ran a gun-themed restaurant in the town of Rifle, Colorado. She then tried to enter the U.S. Capitol carrying a pistol and began to feud with prominent liberal Democrats like Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Her constituents wearied of her antics, however, and in 2022 almost handed the seat to Frisch in a district that had a tradition of electing low-key pragmatists. This year was even rougher for Boebert following the disclosure of the video from the musical in Denver, for which she apologized.

The definition of Conservative has evolved a lot in recent years, R5. Imagine a 36-year-old, newly divorced, grandmother who was kicked out of Beetlejuice the musical for vaping, groping, and yelling being considered a "Conservative" even 10 years ago.

Not according to election guru Dave Wasserman, R26.

The prediction is that GOP would sit it out rather than vote for her. But with ANY other Republican, in. a +9 district, the chances of it staying red increase.

Legitimate question: how was Joe Crowley allowed to represent NY-14, then, if he lived in Virginia? Was he a NY state resident prior to/at the time of the/each race, and then afterward, once in office, he moved away (I know he served several terms)? Can one just up and roll out like that once seated?

R32. What? He was a resident of Queens. The fact that he maintained a second place in or near D.C. for convenience as a member of the House did not change that fact. Most House members and Senators have second place in or near D.C. —

Occasionally there’s a kerfuffle about whether they may have effectively severed their residency in their home state (a la Mark Meadows) but that is more of a political question left to the voters. Residency in a state can mean nothing more than a present intent to remain in said state—voter registration is one basic way to indicate such intent.

I'm from around there. The district where she is moving is also home to the county, which is also the most populous one in the district, that got taken over by right-wing assholes. Over the past 2-3 years they have found out that their ideology gets nothing done and the people that live there are pissed.

It won't go D, but she will not fare well against the more centrist candidates that are running as R in the next election cycle. Plus, the demographic of that district is rapidly changing. The northern parts are shifting left, the farmers were burned by the current rep, and people are just fed up with the morality politics and not voting at all.

But maybe she will get DL fave Shane Dawson to run her campaign. He lives down there now.

The GOP is trying to cut its losses now in the face of dwindling fundraising 📉 . They know she's no longer supportable or electable in her district. They've got less money to give to candidates, so this was triage by the NRCC and momentary face-saving for Boebert. It was calculated knowing they have a stronger chance of keeping her seat if she's out of the picture. Yup, she got a talking to.

The RNC also has fundraising problems. It's reported to have only ~ $8M I'm its coffers, a little over 10% of what it had at its peak during Trump’s time. This is really going to hurt them down ticket

[QUOTE]The National Republican Congressional Committee raised slightly over $5 million in October, according to a filing Monday with the Federal Election Commission.

[QUOTE]That’s about half of what it raised at the same point in past off-year cycles: around $10 million in October 2019 and $9.8 million in October 2021. And it’s the committee’s third-lowest fundraising month of this year, after the traditionally difficult fundraising months of January and August.

This should be interesting. Do you think she'll be prepared and up-to-date about the new district's issues to substantively debate at the Republican Women of Weld and the Lincoln Club-sponsored event?

This really is going to be do or die for her. She can't afford to lose her $180k Congressional salary. She's divorced from the hubby who makes upwards of $400k in the oil industry and did not ask for spousal support. Her only notable employment was running a restaurant so poorly that servers sometimes went unpaid and she did not pay a tax lein until she falsified travel records to charge for her campaign for untravelled miles for nearly the exact amount as the lein.

I hope they hammer the entitled bitch.
