On the eastern plains of the Centennial State, a very unique political battle is playing out. Representative Lauren Boebert, the headline-generating second-term congresswoman and right-wing culture warrior, is up for “re-election” — just not for her own seat.
She’s competing in a crowded Republican primary for the seat currently held by Ken Buck, a retiring member of the House Freedom Caucus. The seat is a comfortably conservative district, a change of pace from Boebert’s current district, the third, which is across the state in Colorado’s mountains and includes the more liberal ski town of Aspen.
