The Freedom Caucus Republican beat five GOP competitors in Colorado’s 4th District race.
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., on Tuesday won her first primary election after switching districts and running in a deeper-red area earlier this year.
Boebert beat a field of five competitors in the GOP race in Colorado’s 4th District. The Republican firebrand currently represents the neighboring 3rd District in Colorado, which encompasses much of the western part of the state.
But Boebert decided to take a chance with the electorate in the eastern half of Colorado last year after Republican Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., confirmed that he would not seek a sixth term to represent the 4th District.
At the time, experts speculated that Boebert swapped areas to avoid an embarrassing defeat.
