Ken Buck (R-CO), who retired early from Congress on March 22. Last week, Colorado Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/2944486\/boebert-gop-selection-ken-buck-replacement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>selected former Mayor Greg Lopez<\/a> as their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-special-house-election-a-high-profile-clash-of-rising-stars\/\" title=\"New York Special House Election a High-Profile Clash of Rising Stars\">special election candidate<\/a> to serve out the remainder of Buck\u2019s term through the new year.<\/p>\n<p>Given that Colorado\u2019s 4th District is a solid red seat, Lopez will likely win the June 25 special election. However, Lopez plans to step down after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>general election<\/a> winner is sworn into office in January 2025, meaning Boebert will not need to face an incumbent as she runs against her primary candidates this summer. <\/p>\n<p>Trump gave Boebert a full endorsement last month despite the incident occurring in December, with the congresswoman\u2019s allies telling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/CNN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>CNN<\/a> it shows he is not bothered by the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Holtorf and Schreiber in running against Boebert are Deborah Flora, Ted Harvey, Mike Lynch, Chris Phelen, Jerry Sonnenberg, and Peter Yu. The Colorado Republican panel had narrowed their special election candidate decision to Sonnenberg and Lopez.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to the panel\u2019s delegates ahead of the meeting, Boebert said they should select a placeholder so as not to \u201cinfluence the regular primary election in a way that would taint the entire process and give this candidate an unfair leg up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boebert\u2019s lead in the race appears to be dwindling based on <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/polls\/house\/2024\/colorado\/4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>early polling<\/a>. In a March 27-29 poll by Gravis Marketing, Boebert trailed Democratic candidate Ike McCorkle, 31% to 38%.
