Rep. Lauren Boebert successfully secured her seat in Colorado’s 4th District, defeating Democratic challenger Trisha Calvarese with 52.9% of the vote to Calvarese’s 43.2%. The Associated Press declared her victory at 11:18 p.m. Eastern, with 82% of votes tallied. This win comes after Boebert narrowly won her previous term in the 3rd District, leading her to seek election in the more reliably Republican 4th District.

Boebert’s campaign faced a series of challenges, including a significant fundraising gap. Calvarese raised nearly five times more funds, leveraging her resources to portray Boebert as inattentive to district needs, particularly on issues related to veterans, economic pressures, and personal freedoms. Despite these efforts, the Cook Political Report deemed Boebert’s race as solid Republican, contributing to her confident path to victory.

Throughout the race, Boebert expressed frustration with what she viewed as Democratic influence over the House’s legislative agenda, commenting that she saw little difference between House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Speaker Mike Johnson, given recent policy trends. She emphasized that with the GOP’s slim majority, the expectation was for conservative principles to drive the agenda.

In addition to her political battles, Boebert faced a health challenge in May when she was hospitalized for a blood clot in her leg, diagnosed as May-Thurner Syndrome. A statement from her campaign reported a successful surgery to address the condition, and Boebert assured voters of her readiness to return to her duties in Congress.

Boebert’s victory, despite obstacles, signals her continued influence in Colorado’s conservative circles as she remains committed to representing her constituents’ values and advancing the Republican agenda in Washington.
