Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) will compete against Democrat Eileen Laubacher in the upcoming November election after both candidates advanced unopposed in their respective primaries. Boebert previously represented Colorado's 3rd Congressional District and is now running in the 4th District, which is rated as 'Solid Republican' by the Cook Political Report. Laubacher, a retired Navy rear admiral, has raised significant funds, totaling nearly $7 million in 2022 and over $17 million in 2024, for her campaign.
Boebert has faced criticism from former President Donald Trump after she supported Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), with Trump indicating a desire for a primary challenger against her. However, Trump's comments came after the filing deadline for Colorado's congressional primaries, which was on March 18. If reelected, Boebert would remain the only House Republican from the original group that sought to release the Epstein files. In the 2024 election, Trump won the district by 27 points, while Boebert's victory margin was 12 points, indicating a closer race than expected in a Republican-leaning area.
