Lauren Boebert’s Dem challenger halts fundraising, cites Colorado redistricting plan: report
Fox News
A Colorado Democrat who planned to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert in 2022 has halted her campaign fundraising, citing proposed changes to the state’s congressional map that would place the Democrat’s properties outside the 3rd Congressional District that Boebert represents, according to reports.
The map was redrawn and approved by the state’s Redistricting Commission following the release of 2020 U.S. Census data, which also resulted in Colorado gaining an eighth seat in the U.S. House, up from the current seven. The seven districts needed to be reconfigured to eight.
In a statement posted Monday, Donovan complained the redrawing had made the 3rd district "more Republican," which she said was "an inexplicable change given that Colorado has grown significantly more Democratic since the last redistricting process 10 years ago."
