Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired Navy rear admiral, will unseat Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, according to a projection by CNN's Decision Desk.
The result ends the tenure of Boebert, an ally of President Donald Trump who was first elected in 2020 and had sought a fourth term, CNN reported. Laubacher, who served more than three decades in the Navy, centered her campaign on affordability issues.
Laubacher led in the reported vote as of Nov. 4, and the election model of The New York Times estimated her final margin at 1.3 points. With most results in, the district swung 19 points toward Democrats compared with how it performed in the 2024 presidential race, according to the outlet. Douglas Mangeris, a libertarian construction superintendent, also appeared on the ballot.
