Boebert had switched districts after Buck announced his impending retirement to avoid a stiff challenge from Democrat Adam Frisch in the 3rd district, but Buck’s immediate departure will set up a special election in which the state Republican and Democratic parties will choose a nominee – and there’s no guarantee they’ll pick the controversial Boebert.
Further complicating matters, Boebert would have to resign her seat in the 3rd district to run in that special election because Colorado law prohibits a candidate from running for more than one office at a time, and her resignation would set up yet another U.S. House special election before the end of the year.

Yeah it seems like he’s doing it to screw over Boebert specifically, but he’s hoping his party will pick a nominee that he likes
Unfortunately, the district is extremely right wing. We’re R+13, which is why Boebert wants to run here, because whoever wins the Republican primary is pretty much a given to win the seat.
With that being said, Colorado recently redrew its district line by an independent, non-partisan group. I have no idea how my district managed to remain so lopsided throughout that process.
