“I feel she’s outrageous. She’s the very last thing we’d like. I haven’t got a lot religion in her potential to symbolize the pursuits of the individuals in District 4,” mentioned Durol, who voted for Yu.

All through the race, Boebert was the principle goal for her opponents. She was the political and monetary juggernaut within the race, with far extra money and clout than another candidate.

Boebert takes a tough line on immigration, together with by way of a invoice she titled “Construct the Wall and Deport them All.”

In 2024, she participated in much more mainstream media interviews and targeted extra on constituent companies and attempting to win earmark funding for the district — the extra mundane work of Congress.
