Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) slammed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over her decision to switch districts for the 2024 election cycle, calling the move “blatant self-preservation.”
Boebert announced Wednesday that she will not seek reelection in the 3rd District and instead move to the 4th District, currently held by retiring Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.).
“She knows that she has failed the citizens of her district. She has failed to deliver for Coloradans on the western slope on issues that matter to them,” Griswold said in an MSNBC interview. “She has failed to deliver legislatively. There’s scandal after scandal after scandal.”
“I do think this is her trying to hold on to power,” she added.
Has someone checked to see if the traveling Broadway show of Beetlejuice is now playing in the Colorado 4th district?
Let’s all join Lauren boebert in giving her constituents a hand!
Not a dry “eye” in the house.
However, there is already a crowded field of Republicans running to replace Buck,
The most important sentence of the article. She can switch districts if she wants. Can she win a primary?
I think she does more good for Democrats being in office as she exemplifies the absurdity of the GOP, however any other primary challenger just needs to make ads saying, “she abandoned her last district; she’ll abandon you too.”
Probably not. There are plenty of people running that are as far right as her that don’t come with the baggage of being a national embarrassment.
Although to the MAGA wing, things that the rest of us consider embarrassments are seen as positives, so who knows anymore?
This is sadly very true, but what I’m hearing from the local MAGAts is that they don’t like the kind of removed who would do sex stuff on public (with a Democrat, no less). Mostly they’re hypocrites, because if she was a man, they’d say that’s just how men are. I find a mashing a dude’s dick around to be one of the least offensive things she’s done except for the whole “in public around people who didn’t consent to see that” part, but I’m also not a conservative so 🤷♀️
“I do think this is her trying to hold on to power,” she added.
In other words: Jena just confirmed that Boebert is a politician.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) slammed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over her decision to switch districts for the 2024 election cycle, calling the move “blatant self-preservation.”
She has failed to deliver for Coloradans on the western slope on issues that matter to them,” Griswold said in an MSNBC interview.
Moving to the 4th District avoids a difficult general election rematch with likely Democratic candidate Adam Frisch, who has significantly out-fundraised Boebert so far in the campaign.
But Griswold said even a more conservative seat doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll be back in Congress.
The chair of the Colorado GOP also criticized Boebert’s switch Thursday, saying the party “didn’t think it was the best move.”
“Time will tell whether or not we’re right, but I think she’s got a serious challenge on our hands trying to explain to the voters of [Colorado’s 4th District] why she thought it was necessary to leave [Colorado’s 3rd District] and have a better chance at keeping her seat in Congress,” party chair Dave Williamson said.
