Boebert apologized, but damage control may prove difficult. Now, in addition to another challenge from thewho came close to unseating her in 2022, Boebert may also face a competitive primary. Since the September incident, Republican challenger Jeff Hurd has caught the attention of some prominent Colorado Republicans looking for an alternative.
Fellow Mesa County Commissioner Bobbie Daniel agrees, adding that Boebert’s performance in the county last year raises questions about her ability to hold on to the seat in 2024. Drew Sexton, Boebert's campaign manager, says in a statement that Boebert"has the support of grassroots conservatives and 3rd District voters because they've seen the substantive work she's doing for them in Congress.
Hurd is campaigning as something of an anti-Boebert, stressing that he would work across the aisle on water and agriculture issues in a way that the incumbent can’t. But he also admits that what happened in the theater in Denver last month is impossible to ignore. “He was on a path to probably only raising maybe $100,000,” says State Rep. Matt Soper, a Republican who represents part of the Western Slope in Boebert’s district. “And he tops $400,000 all because of. Because people once again were reminded of the fact that we don't really want our member of Congress making international news.”
