DENVER — Rep. Lauren Boebert won Colorado’s 4th Congressional District Tuesday night, hanging onto her seat in Congress for another term, Decision Desk HQ projects.
Her Democratic opponent, first-time candidate Trisha Calvarese, called Boebert and conceded, according to the Republican congresswoman.
"Tonight is not a win for me. Tonight is a win for you. Tonight is a win for the small business owners. Tonight is a win for ending federal overreach. And it's not just about political rhetoric. This is about government accountability, and I promise you I will fight harder than ever to hold your federal government accountable," Boebert said during her victory speech Tuesday night.
Boebert, representing Colorado Congressional District 3, switched to the 4th Congressional District in 2023 after longtime Republican Ken Buck resigned from Congress, citing his contempt for his party's unwavering devotion to Donald Trump.
During a welcome event on Election Night, Boebert told the crowd that she was tougher than a crocodile.
"I have taken on Pelosi, Biden, every swamp creature in D.C.," she said. "You have sent someone to Congress who is tougher than the crocodile."
