Lauren Boebert is at risk of losing her Congressional seat in Congress. A new redistricting proposal in Colorado would place the first-term congresswoman in a Democrat district.

According to Fox News:

A proposed redrawing of Colorado’s congressional districts places the residence of Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert within the district of a Democratic congressman, according to reports.

If the proposal is ultimately approved, it means Boebert could opt to run in a more heavily Democratic district if she seeks reelection in 2022, FOX 31 of Denver reported.

Boebert, 34, was elected in November 2020 to represent Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, but the newly proposed map places her home in the 2nd District, which is represented by U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse.

Neguse, 37, has been serving in Congress since 2019.  He was among the House Democrats who helped manage the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump.

But there is a catch. The United States Constitution does not require members of Congress to represent a district they live in, they just have to live in the state. This means Boebert can run for her current seat in the 3rd district.
