Democrats came 546 votes shy of knocking Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert out of Congress last November. A recount in December confirmed that she had won a second term against her Democratic challenger Adam Frisch.
He collected $2.6 million in the second quarter in pursuit of the goal of beating her. His campaign hauled in $1.7 million within his first month after declaring his bid for a rematch. Donations have poured into Frisch’s coffers from all 50 states.
“Here’s an infuriating idea: If Lauren Boebert wins again in 2024, she becomes eligible for a lifetime congressional pension – paid for by you, the taxpayer,” Frisch said on Twitter. “If that doesn’t make you want to give $10 right now to Adam Frisch’s campaign to defeat Boebert, we don’t know what will.”
Polling: Race For 2024 Competitive
Polling shows Frisch and Lauren Boebert tied at 45% apiece according to an April poll by a Democrat-leaning Colorado group.
Frisch wants payback and Democrats are convinced that they can beat her. He seeks to define her as an “extremist” who is out of touch with her district due to her radical rhetoric.
“Imagine being an elected leader and considering fellow Americans your enemy?! This is disgraceful and is everything that is wrong with how this obstructionist and extremist operates in Congress. Vote Lauren Boebert out,” Frisch tweeted last month.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) put Boebert on its list of targeted Republicans in April.
“Lauren Boebert is more obsessed with catching headlines and being the token MAGA extremist than actually working for everyday Coloradans,” DCCC Tommy Garcia spokesman said in an email. “Between her dangerous conspiracies and outright racist bigotry, CO-03 voters can see that Lauren Boebert is an unserious member of Congress, unwilling to go to bat for them on issues facing Colorado. Her time in Congress is ticking down.”
Frisch, Democrats See Lauren Boebert as Beatable
“Boebert continues to vote against the interests of her constituents while devoting her time to ‘angertainment’ antics that do nothing to help CO-3,” Frisch said in a statement. “We can do better than Boebert, and thanks to our generous supporters, we will defeat her in 2024.”
Boebert is one of the Democrats’ top targets to flip her seat in a 2024 rematch. Colorado’s Third Congressional District, covering the Western third of the state, is heavily weighted toward Republicans.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report puts Boebert’s seat as a “Likely Republican” seat for 2024.
According to The Hill, Frisch’s second quarter haul set a record “for the largest quarterly fundraising for a U.S. House challenger in the year before an election, excluding special elections and self-funded campaigns.”
“These numbers far exceed expectations for a congressional candidate this early in the 2024 election cycle. Since launching his campaign in February, Frisch has raised a total of $4.4 million from nearly 85,000 different individuals,” the Colorado businessman’s campaign said.
Thus far Boebert’s fundraising trails that of Frisch by nearly $1 million. She only raised $763,000 in the first quarter of 2023.
“Demonstrating that he recognizes exactly the kind of MAGA psycho he’s facing, Frisch correctly stated that Boebert regularly votes ‘against the interests of her constituents’ and wastes her time on ‘angertainment antics’ that do nothing to help the district,” Occupy Democrats tweeted. “Frisch can do this. Sanity can win. The days of MAGA are numbered.”
