Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., announced Wednesday that she will be seeking the Republican nomination for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District in the 2024 election cycle. The district is currently represented by fellow Republican Rep. Ken Buck, who announced last month that he will not be seeking re-election.
In a video posted to Facebook, Boebert said that she believes this is the right move for her personally, and for those who support the conservative movement. She also noted the importance of maintaining a conservative voice in the district.
Boebert was elected to Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in the 2022 midterms, where she eked out a win against a Democratic opponent. The 3rd Congressional District covers a huge swath of western and southern Colorado.
Buck said his decision not to seek re-election was due to the Republican Party’s support of former President Donald Trump and the embrace of conspiracy theories. He noted that the 4th Congressional District is solidly Republican, and that he believes it is the right decision for those who support the conservative movement.
Boebert’s announcement comes as the 2024 election cycle is beginning to heat up. It is expected that the race for the 4th Congressional District will be competitive, as other Republicans have expressed interest in the seat.
