Bobbert Bounces Back

[planosteve]

CASTLE ROCK, Colo.— After a tough year of embarrassing scandals, Rep. Lauren Boebert’s jump to a new district paid off.

Boebert bested a crowded Republican field, the Associated Press projected late Tuesday, winning the GOP nomination for a third term in Congress. The win came six months after the bombastic Colorado Republican announced she would move her political fortunes from the state’s Western Slope to its Eastern plains and suburbs.

With 61% of the vote counted, Boebert had 44.8%, with her closest rival, Deborah Flora, at 15.1%. Coloradans, who primarily vote by mail, had until Tuesday to cast their ballots.

In securing the nomination, Boebert is comfortably positioned for the general election in a district with a 13-point Republican advantage, according to the Cook Political Report. Her victory wasn’t a surprise: Boebert had eclipsed her Republican primary rivals in fundraising and was 35 points ahead of the nearest one in a recent poll.
