If you didn’t already know, Lauren Boebert announced on Tuesday night that she is abandoning her current Congressional District (CD-3) and will now be running halfway across the state in my district (CD-4).
In her old district the walls were closing in: her dem opponent raised close to $10,000,000 to unseat her, polling showed her losing by a landslide, and even her conservative base there was starting to turn on her.
The Boebert campaign picked CD-4 as their new district because it’s an open seat that leans redder than her old district. On paper moving to this district may have seemed like a good call, in practice it will be Lauren Boebert’s final mistake as a Congresswoman.
Even the CHAIR of the Colorado Republican Party agrees with us:
The reason why he is concerned is because CD-4 used to be one of the Colorado GOP’s safer districts for republicans. However each year its demographics grow younger, more diverse, and more educated, making it bluer and bluer by the year.
Rural Coloradans do not respect political opportunists and as an outsider with no ties to the district, voters will see her for who she is in an instant. On the other hand, I live and have raised my family in this district. I am also a retired Marine Force Recon officer and have two election cycles of name recognition in this district.
Boebert has about $2,000,000 in the bank right now. Before Boebert’s announcement this campaign had $60,000 in our account (not bad for a grassroots rural campaign like ours, but definitely not enough to take on a national figure like Boebert).
However, in the last 24 hours since her announcement we have received over $75,000 in small dollar grassroots contributions and fundraising is SURGING. I know that we can rapidly close the gap between us and Boebert in no time.
