Republican US Rep. Lauren Boebert wins after switching districts in Colorado

Associated Press/Report for America

WINDSOR, Colo. (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert has won in a House district in Colorado where she moved midway through the election cycle to avoid what would have been a tough reelection bid in her old district. Boebert beat Trisha Calvarese who formerly worked at the AFL-CIO and called herself an “old-school labor Democrat.” Boebert left a seat she has held since 2020 for the more conservative 4th Congressional District on the Great Plains, after surveillance video emerged of her vaping and groping a date at a Denver theater. She is a rabble-rouser who’s helped define an ultra-conservative flank of the U.S. House.
