LAUREN BOEBERT CONFRONTED OVER REPUBLICANS BACKING PRIMARY CHALLENGER

Lauren Boebert Confronted Over Republicans Backing Primary Challenger

Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert has played down the significance of her
Republican primary challenger getting a string of endorsements, insisting that
she will "work harder" for voters in her district.

In an interview with Colorado TV station KKCO, Boebert was pressed about the
backing that Republican Jeff Hurd has received from several GOP figures as he
aims to win the state's 3rd Congressional District primary next June.



Boebert, who first entered Congress in 2021, won re-election in November 2022
after narrowly defeating Democratic challenger Adam Frisch by just 546 votes.
Frisch has already confirmed he will be running again for the Colorado seat in
2024, and has vastly outraised Boebert in terms of campaign donations in the
last quarter.

Hurd, a Grand Junction attorney and political novice, has won over donors who
previously supported Boebert in her 2020 election campaign, and has also gained
the endorsements of Republicans in the Centennial State such as former Colorado
governor Bill Owens, former U.S. Sen. Hank Brown and Rio Blanco County
Commissioner Ty Gates.

Delta County Commissioner Don Suppes and Mesa County Commissioners Cody Davis
and Bobbie Daniel said they are now supporting Hurd over Boebert in the wake of
the controversy surrounding her behavior during a live theater performance of
Beetlejuice in September.

for a third time on whether to elevate Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to Speaker of the
House in the U.S. Capitol on October 20, 2023 in Washington, DC. Boebert has

While speaking to KKCO's Bernie Lange, Boebert was asked about the Republicans
who are taking a "different direction" to her in Colorado's 3rd district.

"I have never led a campaign with endorsements because my voters want to know
that I stand for them, and they see what I've done and they'll judge me on the
results that I'm providing for them," Boebert said.

"I am focused on getting results for the 3rd district right now. But I can
promise you this, no one will work harder for the support of the 3rd district
voters than I will," she added. "I have been on the ground with them for four
years now earning their trust, earning their support and working diligently for
them in Washington D.C."



Hurd's office has been contacted for comment via email.

Lange then asked Boebert if she is "concerned" about getting primaried, a
scenario which was raised in the wake of her slim margin of victory against
Frisch in the 2022 midterms.

"Right now we are gearing up for a primary and I am confident in the results
that I have produced to the voters and I believe that my record will reflect
their votes," Boebert replied. "And we'll come out of another successful
primary, just as we've done in the past two primaries."

When asked why he is now endorsing Hurd, Rio Blanco County Commissioner Gates
said that he is "not very pleased" with the congresswoman.

"The only time we see her is when there's a campaign or something like that,"
Gates told Colorado Politics.



"Honestly, I don't feel like we're getting the support and our voices are being
heard, and I think Jeff can do a better job at that."

Longshot Republican candidates Russ Andrews and Curtis McCrackin are also
challenging Boebert in the GOP primary in June 2024.
