Boebert Switches Districts, Avoids Rematch With Frisch in Competitive House Race
-
Boebert is switching from the competitive 3rd District to the safely Republican district currently held by Rep. Ken Buck, who is retiring. This avoids a rematch with Democrat Adam Frisch.
-
Frisch narrowly lost to Boebert in 2022 but had raised over 3 times more money than her for a 2024 rematch that was expected to be close.
-
Boebert had a rough year with a divorce, a scandal over a video of her behaving inappropriately, and losing some longtime supporters.
-
Boebert said she is switching districts to help Republicans retain the 3rd District seat rather than let it fall to Democrats due to "dark money" directed against her.
-
If Boebert wins the Republican primary in Buck's district, she will run in a very conservative area that Trump won by 20 points, a safer option than her current swing district.
