Democrat Eileen Laubacher defeated Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, ousting the three-term incumbent, according to the Associated Press, which called the race Friday. The results are unofficial.
Laubacher is a former Navy rear admiral. The AP reported that Republicans carried the district by more than 18 points in 2024. This week Boebert said of Republican losses, “We collectively failed.”
The call is not the first time the outcome was declared. Colorado Politics reported that Laubacher claimed victory Monday after CNN projected she would win, and that Boebert called that premature. The AP call came after county officials posted final, unofficial totals.
