GOP CO-04 Candidates Celebrate Their Arrests At Debate

Seems Lauren Boebert will fit right in in Colorado's 4th congression district if elected. Asked if they'd ever been arrested before, "six out of the nine candidates raised their hands, which was met with jokes and applause from the crowd." Another couldn't be there, Justin Schrieber, "who is facing felony charges including stalking and harassment," and probably under arrest.

Very fine people indeed.

FORT LUPTON, Colo. — Rep. Lauren Boebert argued her case Thursday in the first Republican primary debate for the district she switched to last month, facing off against opponents who have already attacked her with accusations of being a "carpetbagger."

The congresswoman is running in the 4th Congressional District (CD-4), which spans Colorado's eastern plains, over fears she could have lost reelection for the seat she currently holds on the state's western slope. Colorado's congressional representatives do not have to live in the district they represent, only the state, though Boebert has said she will move to the area.

Nine candidates took the stage Thursday night. Notably absent were Mariel Bailey, who dropped out of the race, and longshot candidate Justin Schrieber, who is facing felony charges including stalking and harassment.
