This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) came in fifth place in a straw poll of voters in the district where the controversial congresswoman recently relocated and is trying to win reelection to the House.
The new district for Boebert would likely give her a significantly better chance at reelection if she wins the Republican nomination.
She currently represents a swing district, and Boebert had seemed likely before her switch to face off a second time against Democrat Adam Frisch, whom she defeated in 2022 by fewer than 600 votes.
But the results of the straw poll Thursday, which followed the first debate among GOP candidates running for that district, indicates Boebert may have an uphill battle.
Colorado Politics reported that Boebert’s finish in the middle of the nine-candidate pack drew some gasps and some shrugs.
Boebert defended her decision to switch districts during the debate, against accusations of carpetbagging, saying she and her family needed a “fresh start.”
