"Lauren Boebert's District Change Ignites Political Firestorm Amid Celebrity Criticism"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Colorado Sun
Mike Lynch, the minority leader in the Colorado House, has entered the Republican primary for Colorado's 4th Congressional District, joining a crowded field that includes U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, who recently decided to run for this seat instead of her current 3rd District. The 4th District is opening up due to Rep. Ken Buck's decision not to seek reelection. Lynch aims to focus on water issues, border security, and crime if elected and supports the inquiry into impeaching President Joe Biden. The primary's large number of candidates could potentially split the vote, which may benefit Boebert, known for her high name recognition. The primary elections are scheduled for June 25.
