Lauren Boebert beats back primary challenge

By Marianne Goodland June 28, 2022 | updated 3 years ago

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Republican from Silt, will return to Washington, D.C., to represent Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, after handily beating her primary challenger, the unofficial tally shows. 

The Associated Press also declared Boebert the winner of the 3rd CD’s Republican primary. 

Boebert will face Adam Frisch of Woody Creek, who was declared the winner of the the three-way Democratic primary mid-morning Wednesday by the Associated Press.

Boebert has so far cornered 64% of the vote, compared to state Sen. Don Coram’s 36%, with roughly 70,000 votes so far counted. 

One of the county’s most-watched congressional races is in Colorado’s western slope, where Boebert, a conservative firebrand, faces a challenge from Coram.

The winner in this largely-Republican dominated district will still have to face the victor of the three-way Democratic primary, but the district leans heavily Republican.

In that Democratic primary, and according to unofficial Wednesday morning results from the Secretary of State, Frisch won with 43.61% of the vote, defeating Sol Sandoval of Pueblo, who took 40.7% of the vote. Alex Walker of Eagle County finished a distant third with 15.69% of the vote.

Frisch’s votes came primarily from Western Slope voters, while Sandoval performed well in Pueblo and southern Colorado counties in the district.
