Lauren Boebert is more vulnerable than she has ever been.
She’s only in Congress because of 546 votes. Last quarter, my campaign outraised her 5 to 1. And when I faced her in 2024, I had the best performance by any Democrat in this district’s history — outperforming Kamala Harris by six points in a red wave election.
Now I’m back to finish the job in 2026.
The ingredients for a massive upset are there and the timing is perfect. Recent polling shows Democrats poised to flip districts once considered safely Republican in 2026.
This is shaping up to be a massive year, the kind where a district like Colorado’s 4th can finally turn the page on Boebert’s chaos and elect a representative who actually delivers for working people.
Before I ever ran for office, I was a labor leader and public servant.
I gave voice to 12.5 million working people at the AFL-CIO as a speechwriter, working alongside leaders like Richard Trumka and Liz Shuler to strengthen unions, pass historic infrastructure investments, and help secure the largest climate bill in American history that is poised to create thousands of clean-energy manufacturing jobs right here in CO-04.
I served my country at the U.S. National Science Foundation, helping advance bipartisan investments to rebuild American science, technology, and innovation—major legislation that reshored manufacturing and expanded opportunity in communities too often left behind.
And when both my parents fell ill with cancer, I came home to Highlands Ranch to care for them at the end of their lives. Before he passed, my dad, a lifelong Republican, told me to step up and give back to the community that gave us so much.
