Why Primary a Republican?

The Conservative Mission is at Risk

We all share the same core principles: shrinking the government, holding bureaucrats accountable, and defending individual liberty. These are the foundation of a free society.

But principles only matter if we have leaders who can actually win. In Colorado’s 4th District, we are facing a mathematical reality that we can no longer ignore: Our current representation is not an asset, it's a liability.

A Pattern of Underperformance

A "Safe Republican" district is only safe if the candidate respects the voters. The data shows a troubling trend of voters moving away from Lauren Boebert, not because of conservative ideas, but because of her and her results.

1. Lauren Boebert was elected in 2020 in Colorado CD3. She primaried the incumbent Republican and then went on to win the General 51.27% to 45.41%. This was a difference of ~6%.

2. In 2022, during Biden's Presidency and the worst inflation the country has seen in a long time, she only won the election by 546 votes. Compared to the 2020 election the Republicans had lost 60,000 votes. The Democrats in turn had only lost 30,000. She won by ~0.16%, a swing of ~6% from previously.

   1. This should have been an easier win. With inflation through the roof, people were not happy. Even still, they wanted Lauren Boebert less than they wanted her before.

3. In 2024 Lauren Boebert ran away from CD3 after almost losing in 2022. She moved over to run in CD4 for greener pastures. This is a R+9 district, compared to the R+5 of CD3. Imagine that. Having to leave a Republican + 5 district because you weren't going to win.

   1. CD3 was a much easier win for Republican Jeff Hurd. It's not that the people wanted to move away from conservative ideas, they wanted to move away from her.

4. In 2024 she won the CD4 Republican Primary with 43% of the vote. More people voted for other Republicans, than they voted for her. That is 6 out of 10 Republicans who voted for someone else.

The 2025/2026 Warning Signs

1. Every single special election in 2025 and 2026 has swung drastically towards Democrats.

   1. In Arizona, where a previous Democrat held office, they won by +40 points instead of +27 from the previous election.

   2. In Florida, where a previous Republican held office, the Republican won by +14 points instead of +33 previously.

2. These are swings towards the democrats of over +13 points. Lauren Boebert, who already struggled in a Midterm is not safe in a R+9 district this year.

Colorado Democrats in CD4 have received way more donations than Lauren Boebert. She's not just behind their leading candidate, she's behind their two top candidates. In articles published Feb 2, Lauren was listed as having $218,000 on hand while her opponents have $2.5 million and $518,000. They are raising over 10x what she is for the election.

Now that's the numbers. So what do we do about it.

The Path Forward: Principles Without the Baggage

We don't need to "throw out the baby with the bathwater." The baby (conservative principles) is still what Colorado needs. We can see that in areas where Republicans have run decent people. These Republicans don't lose the traction that other Republicans have. Lauren Boebert is not the person that can pull that off. We've seen that in her past elections. We see that in the fundraising numbers. We see that in all the special elections that haven taken place this year and last. We need a candidate who is electable in November.

It's high time we have a Republican who doesn't carry all that baggage. Someone with morals, who believes in justice and mercy working together for the common good. Someone who isn't afraid to push against their party, against their leaders, if it's the right thing to do. That is the kind of person who is electable. That is the kind of person who can win come November. That is the kind of person who can carry conservative principles and spread them.
