The first phase of Rep. Lauren Boebertโ€™s (R-Colo.) district switch has paid off for her.

Ms. Boebert has won the June 25 Republican primary in Coloradoโ€™s Fourth District, in the eastern half of the state. She currently represents the Third District, on the Western Slope.

As of 8:22 p.m. Central, Ms. Boebert had 44.3 percent of the vote with 60 percent of votes counted. The race was called at that time.

Ms. Boebert was competing against parental rights activist Deborah Flora, former Colorado State Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, mortgage broker Peter Yu, and State Reps. Richard Holtorf and Mike Lynch on the GOP ballot. Ms. Flora, her nearest competitor, had just 15.3 percent of the vote at 8:22.

Ms. Boebert led the field in late May polling from Kaplan Strategies ahead of the primary.

She also raised and spent the most in the primary, with more than $3.7 million in receipts and more than $3.8 million in disbursements.

But the district switch allowed the polarizing House Freedom Caucus favorite to avoid a rematch down the line with a Democrat who has outraised her, Adam Frisch.

The former Aspen councilman, who narrowly lost to Ms. Boebert in 2022, raised more than $13.1 million. He faced no Democrat competition in the Third District.

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Ms. Boebert, calling her a โ€œproven conservative and effective leader.โ€

Earlier in the day on June 25, Ms. Boebert asked Coloradoans for their vote on X, formerly Twitter, pledging she would stand up for โ€œour farmers and ranchers.โ€

Republican Lopez Wins Special Election to Finish Buckโ€™s Term

The Fourth District Democratic primary has proved to be much tighter.

The field included retired Marine officer Isaac โ€œIkeโ€ McCorkle, addiction recovery activist John Padora, Jr., and Trisha Calvarese, who once led speechwriting and publications for the AFL-CIO union.

As of 9:26 p.m. Central, Ms. Calvarese led Mr. McCorkle by a little more than 5 points with 82 percent of the vote counted.

Ms. Boebert and the Democratic winner will now go on to the general election in November.

The victor in that contest will replace Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) in the next Congress.
