as an incumbent because she didn't file in time. It basically said if she wants to serve another term at all she has to resign her current seat and run in the new district race.

From some of the comments I've read from voters in Buck's district, re Boebert's switch, they're not having it. CrispyQ Mar 2024 #23

That is comforting to hear... i know the district is ruby red, but that doesn't mean they are all MAGAots :) bsiebs Mar 2024 #25
