Lauren Boebert emerged victorious in the 4th Congressional District, overcoming a crowded field of opponents and sidestepping scandals, including a theater disturbance and carpetbagging criticisms. With 44.3% of the vote, Boebert’s win is attributed to her financial backing, Trump’s endorsement, and her alignment with the far-right House GOP. She is projected to win the November general election in the district, which heavily favors Republicans.In the 3rd Congressional District, attorney Jeff Hurd secured the GOP nomination, defeating Ron Hanks with 42% of the vote. Hurd’s victory is seen as a success for establishment Republicans, and he is poised to retain the seat in the upcoming election. Political consultant and talk radio host Jeff Crank also claimed a win in the 5th District, defeating Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams. The outcomes of these primaries suggest that the Republican candidates are favored to maintain their advantage in the general elections, reflecting the state’s conservative leanings.
