Boebert touts anti-vaccine mandate, pro-gun priorities in reelection campaign appearance

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert held a tightly-controlled press conference on New Year’s Eve day at Home Loan State Bank’s community room in downtown Grand Junction, where she announced her plans for reelection in 2022.

She said she ran for Congress two years ago because she didn’t want her four sons “raised in a socialist country.”

“The far-left is taking a wrecking ball to our nation,” she said. “I promised to fight for our freedom.”

Boebert talked about what she considered her accomplishments during her tenure, including the introduction of 24 bills — none of which have been passed into law. She’s hopeful that Republicans will take back the House in 2022, allowing for more legislative success by Republicans like herself.

Colorado’s 3rd (Lauren Boebert, R)

Democratic chances of defeating the polarizing Boebert nearly vanish under the new map and what’s likely to be a GOP-leaning political environment next year. The new 3rd District continues to include the Western Slope and ranges over to Pueblo, which is south of Colorado Springs. Donald Trump would have carried the new seat by 8 points last fall, and Republicans have a 53 percent to 43 percent Baseline advantage. Boebert, who upset GOP incumbent Scott Tipton in a 2020 primary, has already drawn multiple Democratic challengers. But they’ll have a tough time unless a dramatic backlash against Republican candidates develops. Initial rating: Likely Republican.
