How the Democrat Who Lost to Lauren Boebert by 546 Votes Plans to Oust Her in 2024

Overdue Oversight of the Capital City: Part II

Last year, Democrat Adam Frisch launched what most thought was a longshot bid for Congress against one of the nation’s most famous conservative firebrands: Rep. Lauren Boebert. It ended up becoming the closest House race in the country, with the Republican incumbent squeaking through by 546 votes.

Now Frisch is running again as less of a longshot and more of a certified contender, arguing the proof of concept he delivered last time will mean swing voters will be even more open to backing him in 2024.

“People want to vote for a winner,” Frisch tells TIME, noting that that’s especially true for those thinking about crossing partisan lines for the first time.

The rematch could be one of the most intense House races of 2024. Boebert first won office in 2020 and quickly drew outsized attention for an approach to the job that ignited her far-right base, including heckling President Joe Biden during the State of the Union and promoting conspiracy theories about the “deep state” and the 2020 presidential election.

“I don’t say this with pride, but it’s going to be probably one of the more expensive, one of the more nationally-focused races,” Frisch says.

The rural district Boebert represents, Colorado’s Third, is larger, by area, than Pennsylvania. It encompasses most of the state’s Western Slope, including Aspen, and stretches to Pueblo, near the southeast corner of the state. It’s Republican-leaning, but has pockets of Democratic support and a libertarian streak.

Frisch, a former Aspen City Council member, argues Boebert is the only “brand-name, nationally-known” Republican representative who stands a real chance of losing reelection next year.

Before losing a nail-biter of a general election, Frisch made it through an even closer contest, winning the Democratic primary by fewer than 300 votes out of more than 60,000. He gives credit for the close margins to his pragmatic approach to being a Democrat, even as Boebert had become a favorite target of national progressives.

“I fully appreciate the last thing people are looking for is a fairly wealthy, straight, middle-aged white guy from a mountain town, let alone Aspen,” he says of the Democratic base. “I knew that going in there.”

When the general election came around, though, it paid off. Almost no one had thought the race would become one of the closest in the country, but Frisch’s moderate brand brought him within 600 votes of winning.

Now that he’s proven he’s a real contender, he may have the tools that he was missing last time. In the first month and a half since he launched his campaign on Valentine’s Day, Frisch raised $1.7 million from about 45,000 donors.

“It’s hard when FiveThirtyEight says you’re supposed to lose by 45,000 votes,” he says of his last bid. “It’s hard for fundraising. It’s hard for media.”

Frisch filed paperwork to enter the 2024 race less than ten days after the election. Some of the decision had to do with the wave of support he received—“There were a lot of people calling from the district and Denver and D.C. asking for us to give serious thought to getting back in,” he says—but he stresses that he was listening more closely to farmers and ranchers around the district.

“Some people under their breath sheepishly told me they voted for me,” he recalls them saying. “They’ve never voted for a non-Republican before.”

Boebert told the Associated Press in January that her close call last year made her “more focused on delivering the policies I ran on than owning the left.” But, she added, “I’m still going to be me.”

That balance is illustrated by the accomplishments she’s touting on her congressional website this week; a flurry of press releases detail her recent push to impeach Joe Biden over the situation at the Southern border, as well as amendments she filed on House bills that passed with bipartisan support, and efforts to protect Colorado’s water infrastructure and its veterans.

“Adam’s cowboy boots and the actors he hires as ranchers for his TV ads aren’t fooling anyone,” Boebert wrote in a statement to TIME. “Nobody fights harder for the people of rural Colorado than me.” She touted achievements in Congress including “protecting the San Luis Valley’s water from a Denver water grab” and “co-leading the bipartisan Dolores River bill” with the state’s Democratic Senators, Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper.

If Boebert is getting serious, so is the Democratic Party. Colorado’s Third District is among those that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is targeting, meaning Frisch is all but guaranteed to have the party more squarely behind him than he did last time.

“We’ll get some support, because last time, we got 0.0 dollars from the Colorado Democratic Party, and we got 0.0 dollars from the national Democratic Party,” he says. “Without a doubt, both parties are watching this race.”

But he admits some ambivalence about no longer being viewed as an underdog, particularly given how all of the outside attention means less control over the messages being used to sway voters to back him.

“There’s a lot of—I don’t know what you call it, soft side PACs, super PACs—all those organizations are out there,” he says. “I would rather them just kind of stay away. Some of them are good, but some of them are not really focused on the job. They’re coming up here—you know, calling her a fascist and going after her personal family and everything else like that, to me, is counterproductive for our country.”

“We would love to just control our own message,” he adds, “but we can’t get involved legally whatsoever with that.”

What he can do is emphasize, again and again, that he’s not looking out for Democratic Party interests; he’s interested in the concerns of ranchers, farmers, veterans and ordinary families. His focus is on water infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and jobs. He repeatedly signals that he would take a collaborative approach with Republicans in Congress, telling TIME that he’s a fan of the bipartisan Problem Solvers’ Caucus. He namechecks one of its members, Rep. Dean Phillips, a Minnesota Democrat who he says he grew up with.

Frisch’s message to Republicans who consider voting for him, even if they’re backing Republicans for the rest of their ballots: “I’m not asking you to change party, I’m not asking you to do anything else except think about your family, your business, and your community.”

If he talks like voters in the district live in a cooler-headed, less-polarized age of American politics, his approach to retail campaigning is similarly nostalgic. Frisch is all about traveling around the state in a red pick-up truck and meeting voters where they are. Last week, he attended an energy conference in the town of Craig where he says others there noticed that he stayed for the whole thing, whereas the congresswoman stopped by only briefly for a photo op. (“Congresswoman Boebert attended the energy conference for about two hours, and she connected with all the attendees and heard their concerns,” a Boebert spokesperson wrote in a statement to TIME. “She has a large district, and she has a full schedule traveling … Congresswoman Boebert’s team attended the entire Craig energy conference. It is easy for an unemployed politician to spend two days promoting himself at a conference.”)

But Frisch’s strategy of talking to all kinds of voters all across the state seemed to benefit him last time when few took him seriously. The extra investment he may see in 2024 will be important, he says, but it’s not what matters the most.

“The real work is in the dirt, on the gravel roads, going to barbecue joints, and breweries and bakeries; I put on 20 pounds last time,” he says. “I got most of it off, whatever. Just getting out there and doing that.”

Lauren Boebert criticized by supporters for seeking donations under guise of impeachment survey

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on Tuesday tried to get more support for her plan to impeach President Joe Biden, but was met with derision from her own supporters for sneaking a donation request into her impeachment survey.

Boebert, who jumped on the impeachment bandwagon earlier this month, has cited Biden’s policy on the southern border as the motivation for seeking the current president’s ouster.

On Tuesday, she sent a pretty generic tweet seeking support on the issue:

"This is simple: Joe Biden is not capable of leading our nation. I've filed articles of impeachment. I'm calling on every member of the Republican Party to join me!" Boebert wrote." The Congresswoman added, "If you're with me, click here & add your name to this growing list of Americans who are ready to see Biden go."

The comment section included numerous complaints from people who appear to be ideologically aligned with the Congresswoman.

Someone who said they did sign the petition complained about the donation aspect of it.

"I’m not contributing & I despise when politicians connect a tweet to asking for a donation," one verified commenter wrote. "I filled out the form but I doubt it went through without a donation. Are you asking for a signed petition or a donation? Looks like you can’t have it both ways on this tweet."

Another commenter echoed similar sentiments about the request:

"Yeah give me money so I can continue to do nothing but mean tweets and we’re gonna impeach….6 months with control of the house and nothing," the verified user wrote. "Give me a f-ing break. I’m exhausted waiting."

Republicans bash Boebert for forcing Biden impeachment vote: ‘Frivolous’

House Republicans teed off Wednesday on one of their own colleagues, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), over her stunning move to force a vote this week to impeach President Biden.

While no fans of the president, Boebert’s GOP critics said her move to stage an impeachment vote this week is wildly premature, harming the Republicans’ ongoing efforts to investigate the Biden family’s business dealings while undermining potential impeachment efforts in the future.

At a closed-door meeting of the GOP conference on Capitol Hill, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took the remarkable step of urging his troops to oppose the impeachment resolution when it hits the floor later in the week, a House Republican told The Hill.

“I don’t think it’s the right thing to do,” McCarthy later told reporters.

“This is one of the most serious things you can do as a member of Congress. I think you’ve got to go through the process. You’ve got to have the investigation,” McCarthy said. “And throwing something on the floor actually harms the investigation that we’re doing right now.”

McCarthy told reporters that he called Boebert on Tuesday and asked her to talk to the closed-door House GOP conference meeting about her impeachment resolution before moving to force a vote. McCarthy said Boebert told him she would think about it, but then went ahead and made the privileged motion Tuesday anyway.

The Colorado Republican also did not attend Wednesday’s meeting.

Boebert instead appeared on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s show Wednesday morning, defending her move to force a vote on impeachment despite leadership encouraging her not to.

“I would love for committees to do the work, but I haven’t seen the work be done on this particular subject,” Boebert said. She later said that there are not enough GOP votes to pass impeachment articles out of committee.

“This, I’m hoping, generates enthusiasm with the base to contact their members of Congress and say, ‘We want something done while you have the majority,’” Boebert said.

McCarthy told Republicans that he opposed the two impeachments of former President Trump because Democrats were acting on emotion, not facts, according to a source familiar with the Speaker’s remarks.

Boebert made the surprise privileged motion Tuesday evening to bring up her resolution to impeach Biden over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border, forcing a floor vote on the measure some time this week. Democrats plan to make a motion to table the resolution, blocking a vote on impeachment itself. The table resolution is expected to succeed.

On Bannon’s show, she urged Republicans to not vote to table her impeachment resolution.

“We have the majority. This does not have to be tabled,” Boebert said. “If we have Republicans stick together, we can have that debate about the sovereignty of our nation and how important it is to shut the southern border down and secure it.”

Boebert’s impeachment push comes as Republicans have tried to turn their attention to other Biden-focused criticism this week. After the president’s son, Hunter Biden, agreed to a plea deal involving federal tax and gun charges Tuesday, Republicans dug in on their investigation into the business dealings of Biden’s family members.

It also follows Boebrt’s ideological ally, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), forcing a vote on censuring Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) over his handling of investigations into Trump and the first Trump impeachment. The House will vote Tuesday on a modified version of the resolution after 20 House Republicans helped to tank the Schiff censure resolution last week.

McCarthy argued that the Schiff censure was a reason to not rush impeachment articles.

“We’re going to censure Schiff for actually doing the exact same thing — lying to the American public and taking us through impeachment,” McCarthy said. “We’re going to turn around the next day and do try to do the same thing that Schiff did? I just don’t think that’s honest.”

There is a bit of hilarious irony involved here. The only reason treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans want to impeach President Biden is because their Chosen One Traitor Trump was impeached twice and for very good legal reasons. First for getting caught literally on tape trying to extort the president of Ukraine of falsely accusing President Biden of corruption while holding Ukraine military aid hostage to make him to it. And the second time for incising an armed violent deadly insurrection attack on the Capitol to try and prevent Biden being certified as president.

But Boebert was at least pretending it was because President Biden failed to enforce immigration laws. And the beautiful irony is today the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 President Biden has the right to enforce immigration laws as he sees fit.

And here we are.

Lauren Boebert is now a 36-year-old grandmother after her teenage son fathered a boy with his girlfriend

  Rep. Lauren Boebert is now a 36-year-old grandmother, a spokesman confirmed to Insider.
  
  
• In March, Boebert announced that her teenage son Tyler was expecting a baby with his girlfriend.
  
  
• Boebert, who is staunchly anti-abortion, gave birth to Tyler when she was a teenager herself.
  

Rep. Lauren Boebert, 36, is now a grandmother.

In March, Boebert announced that her then-17-year-old son Tyler was expecting a baby boy with his girlfriend.

On Thursday, the two-term Colorado Republican revealed that her grandson has been born while discussing her ongoing feud with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Fox News with Sean Hannity.



"Sean, I did not put my life on pause and leave my four boys and my now grandson to come here and just get in spats with people,' she told Hannity. "I came here to legislate and to be effective for Coloradans, Coloradans who are suffering from the Democrats' policy. Marjorie is not my enemy. Joe Biden's policy, the Democrats, that is my enemy that I am combating right now."

A spokesman for Boebert also confirmed the birth of her grandson to Insider.


During her March appearance at the Conservative Political Action Committee's women's breakfast, Boebert said that she and her husband Jayson Boebert were "so excited to welcome this new life," a baby boy due in April.

"Now, any of you who have young children who are giving life, there are some questions that pop up. There's some fear that arises," she said. "Now my son, when I approached him and told him, 'Tyler, I'm going to be a 36-year-old grandmother,' he said, 'Well, didn't you make Granny a 36-year-old granny?' 'I said, 'Yes, I did.' He said, 'Well then, it's hereditary.'"

Boebert, who supports criminalizing abortion, told the CPAC audience that when she found out that her son's girlfriend was pregnant, her main concern was whether they would "choose life," and praised high rural teen birth rates as evidence that these communities "value life," Insider's Alia Shoaib reported.

The congresswoman gave birth to Tyler when she was a teenager herself, dropping out of high school in 2004 when she became pregnant at 18. She shares four sons with Jayson Boebert. She filed for divorce in May after nearly 20 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Insider reported in May that one of Tyler's younger teen brothers called 911 from their Colorado home late last year alleging that Jayson Boebert was "throwing" him around the house. Police were dispatched but no arrests were made, and both Boeberts denied that any physical abuse occurred.

Boebert has been in the news this week thanks to her feud with Greene, who on Wednesday called the Colorado Republican a "bitch" on the House floor. "I'm not in middle school," Boebert told CNN when asked about the incident.

The spat stems in part from Boebert's recent resolution to impeach President Joe Biden, which Greene says copies her own recent resolution and was done "purely for fundraising." Tensions between the two date back to at least April 2022, but things reached a fever pitch in January over their disagreement about whether Kevin McCarthy should be speaker of the House.

And quite the show it was. Somewhere between 17 and 20 million people watched the hearings. And saw for themselves that Trump and his treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans attempted the first coup in American history and incited an armed, violent, deadly insurrection to try and overthrow the rests of a free and fair election and install Trump as a dictator.
