Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and her Democratic challenger Trisha Calvarese are set to face off in a debate on business and economic issues on Sept. 3 in Roxborough Park.
The lunchtime debate is so far the only meet-up scheduled between the two major party candidates running in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, which covers Douglas County, parts of Larimer and Weld Counties, and the Eastern Plains.
Boebert and Calvarese both emerged from crowded primaries for the seat formerly represented by Republican U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, who resigned in March. Republican Greg Lopez defeated Calvarese in a June special election to serve out the remainder of Buck’s term.
