Lauren Boebert's Controversial District Switch Stirs Tension in Colorado GOP Ahead of 2024

Rep. Lauren Boebert is attributing her decision to switch from Colorado's 3rd Congressional District to the more conservative 4th District to the influence of Hollywood celebrities like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds, who have donated to her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch. Boebert claims that nearly $10 million in outside funding, including donations from Streisand and Reynolds, is an attempt by Hollywood to "buy" her current district. Despite her fundraising efforts, Boebert has been significantly outraised by Frisch, prompting her to move districts to avoid the influence of what she calls "dark money" and to protect the conservative values of her constituents.
