CO-03: Dylan Roberts, Kerry Donovan are already exploring 2022 bids to unseat Lauren Boebert

Two well-known Democratic state lawmakers say they are already exploring whether to launch a bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert next year, just weeks into the fiery Republican’s term.

It’s the latest evidence that Democrats are eager to capitalize on the controversies, which have grabbed international attention, Boebert has been at the center of since being sworn into office. But the party will still be fighting an uphill battle in Boebert’s Republican-leaning district, which is set to be redrawn before the 2022 election.

State Sen. Kerry Donovan of Vail and state Rep. Dylan Roberts of Avon told The Colorado Sun they are talking with people in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District about seeking Boebert’s job. Both took a pass on running for the seat in 2020 when it appeared they would be facing longtime Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, whom Boebert shockingly knocked out in last year’s primary.

“She’s done a terrible job,” Donovan said about why she is interested in running for Boebert’s seat.

All of these candidates would be a vast improvement over Sedition Barbie. Is there a way to set up ActBlue fundraising for these candidates? Omaha Steve usually provides the links to donate.

I’ll be watching and then donating to who seems the most likely to win

On another note ppl, Dems are already fired up about the midterms..this is really good. We need good candidates with clean records that can win and keep the pukes from regaining the house

Followed by: "Will Democrats take away your freedom to get COVID?"

And at nine, our blockbuster report: "Why didn't Obama do more to prevent the 9/11 attacks?"
