2024 battleground election

Ballotpedia identified the June 25, 2024, Republican primary as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) won the Republican primary for Colorado's 4th Congressional District. As of 2:16 AM ET, Boebert received 43.3% of the vote. Jerry Sonnenberg (R) received 14.5% of the vote. Deborah Flora (R) received 13.7%. Richard Holtorf (R) received 10.8% of the vote. Michael Lynch (R) earned 10.6% of the vote. Peter Yu (R) earned 7.0% of the vote. Incumbent U.S. Rep Ken Buck (R) resigned on March 22, leaving the district open.[4]

Colorado Public News Public Affairs Reporter Caitlyn Kim said, “The announcement that GOP Rep. Ken Buck would not seek another term in office has set off a heated primary to fill a rare vacancy in the reddest district in Colorado. In late December 2023, the race gained even more prominence when Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, who represents the 3rd Congressional District, said she would abandon plans to run for reelection there and instead seek the seat in the 4th.”[5]

A Republican vacancy committee selected Greg Lopez (R) over Sonnenberg as the party's nominee in the June 25 special election to complete remainder of Buck’s term.[6] Lopez said he would not run for re-election in November if he wins the June 25 special election, which will occur on the same day as Colorado's primaries. This means that the solid Republican district would be open in November if Lopez wins the special election.

In a January 2024 debate, the candidates differed on abortion policies. Holtorf, Lynch, and Yu agreed that state legislatures should set abortion policy. Boebert, Flora, and Sonnenberg said they would support national restrictions on abortion. Lynch and Flora also criticized Boebert for running in a different congressional district, though Boebert said she moved to the district for personal reasons.[7]

As of March 31, 2024, Boebert raised $3.4 million total, followed by Flora ($356,045), Sonnenberg ($312,484), and Yu ($285,212). Boebert had $979,799 cash on hand, followed by Yu ($275,658), Sonnenberg ($224,402) and Flora ($167, 109).

Boebert represents Colorado's 3rd Congressional District. Boebert says she supports ‘’America First’’ policies, a term often associated with the platform of former President Donald Trump (R) and candidates who say they support Trump’s agenda.[8] On her campaign website, Boebert says she supported the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden (D). Boebert says she supports bills focusing on increasing energy production, and opposes the Bureau of Land Management. Former President Trump and U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R) endorsed Boebert.[9]

Deborah Flora says her experience as a small business owner makes her uniquely qualified compared to career politicians. Flora says she supports reducing government spending, requiring Congress to balance the federal budget, limiting illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, and policies that reduce energy costs.[10]

Richard Holtorf is a member of the Colorado House of Representatives. Holtorf says his experience as a military veteran uniquely qualifies him for Congress.[11] Holtorf says he would focus on reducing inflation that he believes President Joe Biden’s (D) policies created.

Michael Lynch is a member of the Colorado House of Representatives, and was the minority leader from 2022-2024. On his campaign website, Lynch says he supports measures that would reduce the role of government in people’s lives, lower taxes, limit illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border, and protect gun ownership.[12]

Jerry Sonnenberg was a member of the Colorado Senate from 2015-2023, and served in the Colorado state House from 2007-2015. Sonnenberg says he supports reducing inflation that he believes Biden's policies created, limiting illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, increasing energy production from oil and natural gas, and reduce environmental regulations for ranchers and farmers.[13]

Peter Yu says his professional experience as a business executive and his desire to unite constituents qualifies him for the congressional office.[14][15] Yu says he supports reducing illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, reducing government spending, increasing domestic energy production independent, and lowering the national debt.[16]

Polls

See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[53] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[54] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Campaign website

Boebert's campaign website stated the following:

America First. I work for you. Not special interests. Not Washington, DC. Just you!
I’ll always vote for a strong national defense, better care for our Veterans, stronger trade agreements and to keep the promises we’ve made to our seniors. No Green New Deal, no more DC power grabs, always what’s right for Colorado.

Constitution and Bill of Rights. My job is to secure your rights and defend the Constitution as it is written.
I won’t let them take away our guns. I’ll always stand up for freedom of speech. I’m against judges who legislate from the bench. I’m against the national popular vote; Colorado’s voice matters and we can’t give that away to California.

Limited Government. An entrenched federal bureaucracy with over 2 million federal employees who earn more and receive better benefits than Main Street is far from what our founders envisioned.
Term limits for all politicians, not just the good ones. Cap federal civilian pay and benefits to private sector levels. Give more authority to the President to take on the Deep State by firing those in the executive branch not implementing his policies.

Free Markets. Free and fair markets work when we let them.
Fewer over-reaching regulations and more competition will deliver better outcomes. Healthcare should be personal and portable with transparent and competitive pricing. Veterans should have a private-sector option, too!

Life. I believe life begins at conception.
Planned Parenthood can go fund themselves. They should never receive a dime of our federal tax dollars.

Liberty. Attacks on our personal freedom must stop.
I will never vote to give away our personal freedom to socialists, globalists or other left-wing lunatics. Watch out AOC and the Squad, here I come!

Strong Borders. A country without borders is not a country at all.
We must enforce our current immigration laws, put a stop to sanctuary cities and build the wall.

Energy. Energy independence is critical to our national defense and economic security.
I support an all-of-the-above strategy where the government does not choose winners and losers. Drill baby, drill! Add new nuclear technology to the mix as a clean and efficient energy source.

Fiscal Responsibility. The federal government doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.
We don’t need tax increases. I will introduce and vote for a Balanced Budget Amendment every year I serve in Congress.

School Choice. Charter schools work. School choice works. Local decision making is better.
