The chairman of Colorado's Republican Party isn't pleased with Rep. Lauren Boebert's, R-Colo., decision to skip out on a reelection bid in her home district to instead move to a more Republican-friendly district on the other side of the state. “From a party perspective, we certainly don’t think it was the best move,” Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williamson told CNN Thursday. “We felt that she was best suited for Congressional District 3 and that she was in the best position to win reelection and retain that for Republicans.”
Boebert won against Democrat Adam Frisch by a hair in 2022, earning just 546 more votes of the over 327,000 cast, according to The Daily Beast. While the far-right representative's current district — which has a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+7 — covers the western and southern parts of the state, the fourth congressional district resides to the East of Denver and has a rating of R+13, Colorado's most conservative. That district's current representative, Rep. Ken Buck, is retiring. Williamson predicted that Boebert would have a hard time explaining her move to voters in the fourth district. “It’s kind of a problematic proposition," he told CNN. "But it’s… something for the voters to decide.”
