The firebrand is competing for the seat in a Whiter, wealthier and more Republican district — a recipe that could help keep the staunch conservative in Congress for another term. Instead of seeking reelection in the 3rd District, where she currently resides, Boebert set her sights on the 4th District, which is on the other side of the state. The 4th District, anchored in Douglas County and encompassing the rural Eastern Plains, is also more affluent than Boebert’s former district — or any other district in the state. While she will be running in the most conservative district in the state, Boebert still isn’t guaranteed a win. Boebert faces a crowded primary Republican field in the 4th District, including a talk radio host and a member of the state legislature.
