U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert waded into the Republican primary for the Colorado congressional seat held by retiring U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn on Monday with a social media post supporting candidate Dave Williams.
“We’ve got enough cranks in Congress already,” Boebert posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “The PEOPLE want Dave Williams!”
Williams, the chairman of the Colorado GOP and a former state lawmaker from Colorado Springs, is running against Americans for Prosperity executive and former talk radio host Jeff Crank in the 5th Congressional District, which covers most of El Paso County.
Primary ballots go in the mail to voters during the first week of June, and they’re due back to county clerks by June 25.
