foil her attempts to relocate/run there and become an even bigger problem for Colorado.

So, I, for one, hope she keeps up with the media-covered "scandals"--whatever they may be. She thinks it is just "enemies" from her own CD-3 district supposedly tattling/reporting on her. Well, I've got news for her. They will be even more motivated to do so in CD-4.

motivated to do so? I know nothing about CO politics, I'll be the first to admit.

south of Denver and while geographically enormous, it is only 1/3 rural and dips into tiny areas of Larimer (Loveland) and Boulder Counties, while extending from the eastern New Mexico border north to the Wyoming border.. Conservative--absolutely, but not the same libertarian conservatives she had on the western slope. Better educated overall and less amenable to her antics--particularly her sexual escapades and related hypocrisy. It was represented by Ken Buck, who was certainly a conservative asshole, but a well-educated one. To his credit, one of his earlier "accomplishments" was firing Jenna Ellis during his time in the local attorney's office (Greeley, I think).

It will definitely go Republican, but there were already a ton of well-known candidates readying for the spot when Buck announced he was foregoing reelection. She is a carpet-bagger and that is not a welcome thing. The one thing she has going for her is comparatively a lot of $$ donations. But, given the Republican Minority leader of the State House is running, that could easily change. She doesn't know this new district and has no record to run on including supporting the issues of her last one. Her opponents on the other hand, especially Mike Lynch, do have such records and know their district constituents.

CD-03 was ideal for someone of her ilk, but she only won reelection by 500 votes or so. A new district and one considerably different for 03-- after all her escapades-- will be a very uphill path for her.

Adam Frisch is looking strong. Wonder who the billionaires will choose to replace Boebert.

And if he can’t pull it off, whose the most likely (Republican) contender in CD-3?

Jeff Hurd seems to have the most backing from Republicans, but I expect others may jump in... He's never held office, but then what were Boebert's qualifications?

She would come up with a new one.

Always a lie, but each time a different lie.
