Lauren Boebert Gets Game-Changing News
Colorado Republicans have elected the former mayor of Parker to serve out the remainder of former Congressman Ken Buck’s (R-CO) term, providing Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) with a positive development as she seeks to claim her former colleague’s seat.
The Washington Examiner reports that a panel of local Republicans selected Mayor Greg Lopez to serve in Buck’s stead until January 2025, all the more notable because Lopez has indicated he does not plan to run against Boebert for a full term. The Republican congresswoman is already facing a heated Republican primary against several lesser-known rivals.
The selection of Lopez on Thursday night now ensures that Rep. Boebert will be able to participate in the June 25th special election without running against an incumbent, making her the odds-on favorite to secure the GOP nomination. The 4th Congressional District is a solidly Republican stronghold comprised of rural farmers and residents; among them, likely voters prefer Boebert with 32% of the vote according to a February poll.
Lopez, who twice ran unsuccessfully for governor, said in a statement he would “do the best job that I can and represent this state to the best of my ability.”
