Lauren Boebert faces her first election in a Republican primary since she fled a tough reelection bid in Colorado and ran in a more Republican-friendly district. The incumbent is facing off against state Sen. Don Coram and political newcomer Marina Zimmerman in the 3rd Congressional District, which includes heavily Republican areas on the Western Slope and in southern Colorado.
Boebert's move to the 3rd District came after she narrowly won reelection in the 3rd District in 2020. That race was one of the most expensive House races in the country, and Boebert's victory was seen as a major upset. However, after the 2020 election, the boundaries of the 3rd District were redrawn to include more Democratic-leaning areas, making it more difficult for Boebert to win reelection.
Boebert's decision to run in the 3rd District has been controversial. Some Republicans have accused her of abandoning her constituents in the 3rd District, while others have said that she is simply trying to increase her chances of winning reelection.
The 3rd District primary is expected to be close. Coram is a well-known figure in the district, and he has the backing of many establishment Republicans. Zimmerman is a political newcomer, but she has the support of some conservative groups.
