Republican Jeff Hurd has won the U.S. House seat in Colorado that Rep. Lauren Boebert left. Hurd's victory fulfills the congresswoman's hope that her mid-election departure from the race would make it easier for a different Republican to retain the seat after she nearly lost it in 2022.

The Colorado Sun editor David Krause joined us to discuss the latest in Colorado’s Congressional District 8 race.

Colorado state Sen. Kerry Donovan, a leading Democratic challenger to Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert in next year's election, has suspended fundraising for her campaign after the state's independent congressional redistricting commission approved a map that places Donovan's residence in another district.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and two other Republican lawmakers could become the subjects of congressional investigations after Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-WA, filed requests with the House Committee on Ethics and the Office of Congressional Ethics.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, the first woman to represent her district, has largely focused on things like gun rights and deepening division between political parties. Political analysts say this partisan pageantry has helped her carve a steep ascent into politics, emerging as an agent provocateur and drawing the ire of many across the nation along the way.

Boebert campaigned heavily on criticizing socialism and the policies Gov. Jared Polis has put in place to protect residents from COVID-19.

Voters in Colorado’s sprawling 3rd Congressional District have the choice of two very different candidates to represent them in Congress. The race is a clash between a young, political newcomer aligned with President Trump and a veteran state lawmaker who believes in pragmatism over polarization.
