Lauren Boebert

Boebert won the general election, defeating Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush to become the U.S. Representative for Colorado's 3rd congressional district.

Boebert's actions and statements surrounding the January 6th Capitol riot sparked significant controversy. She tweeted about the location of Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the event. She has publicly defended her actions and denied any involvement in planning the riot.

During her term, Boebert made numerous controversial statements and engaged in actions that drew criticism and media attention. These included confrontations with other members of Congress and controversial social media posts. She opposed many Democratic initiatives and consistently advocated for conservative policies.

Boebert narrowly won re-election in 2022 against Democratic candidate Adam Frisch, by a margin of just 546 votes. The race was far closer than anticipated and required a recount.

Boebert announced that she would be running for election in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, a more reliably Republican district, in the 2024 election cycle after struggling to win re-election in the 3rd District.
