Ms. Boebert introduced final week that she is switching from the third District seat that she holds to the 4th District, a extra solidly pink a part of the state. That seat is held by Rep. Ken Buck, a Republican, however he introduced final yr that he wouldn’t be in search of reelection.
“When you will have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you will have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it reveals you that Hollywood is attempting to purchase their method into Congress,” she stated.
She has beforehand stated Mr. Frisch has used “darkish cash” to take the seat.
“My opponent has loads of funding from Soros darkish cash and even Hollywood liberals like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds,” she wrote on X in November.
