Colorado GOP Chair Says Lauren Boebert's District Swap Not 'The Best Move'
HuffPost
"It’s kind of a problematic proposition," Dave Williams said of the lawmaker's decision to switch to a more conservative congressional district.
The chairman of Colorado’s Republican Party wasn’t enthused by Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) decision to change to a less competitive congressional district.
“From a party perspective, we certainly don’t think it was the best move,” Dave Williams told CNN’s Brianna Keilar on Thursday. “We felt that she was best suited for Congressional District 3 and that she was in the best position to win reelection and retain that for Republicans.”
He said the lawmaker has “a serious challenge on her hands trying to explain to the voters of CD 4 why she thought it was necessary to leave CD 3 and have a better chance at keeping her seat in Congress.”
He added, “It’s kind of a problematic proposition, but it’s again, it’s something for the voters to decide.”
Boebert announced Wednesday she was entering the GOP primary for retiring Rep. Ken Buck’s seat in the state’s east, leaving the district she won by a hair last year. She said it would be a “fresh start” because it has been a “pretty difficult year for me and my family.”
