November is next for Calvarese-Boebert race Primaries set stage for contest in 4th Congressional District BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The results of the primaries in late June sets up a race between Republican Lauren Boebert and Democrat Trisha Calvarese for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District this November. Boebert, who currently holds a congressional seat in Colorado’s 3rd District on the Western Slope, beat five conservative challengers with 43% of votes. Calvarese secured her primary win by beating two Democratic candidates with 45% of votes. Boebert, who has the endorsement of Donald Trump, seems confident that she will win in November, saying in a statement that she and her Republican colleagues will “stand strong with President Trump when he retakes the White House.” Boebert promised to continue to be a “conservative fighter.” “I will continue to travel the miles, make the phone calls, and show up in communities of every size and background to earn your votes this November,” she said. “I cannot thank 4th District voters enough for trusting me to effectively represent their interests.” In December, Boebert posted a video posted to social media announcing Democrat Trisha Calvarese overcame two other candidates to win her primary for the plans to leave her 3rd District seat.
