Grand Junction Mayor Anna Stout joins field of Democrats hoping to unseat Lauren Boebert

Election forecasters at the Cook Political Report last week shifted the district to toss-up status from "Lean Republican."

DENVER — U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert drew another Democratic challenger in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District.

Grand Junction Mayor Anna Stout on Wednesday filed paperwork to run for the seat in what's shaping up to be the most expensive contest on next year's state ballot.

Stout's primary opponents include former Aspen City Councilman Adam Frisch, who came within fewer than 600 votes of unseating the Silt Republican in 2022 and has posted record-breaking fundraising totals this year.

Boebert, an outspoken gun rights advocate and former restaurant owner, is seeking a third term next year in the sprawling, Republican-leaning district, which covers most of the Western Slope and parts of southern Colorado, including Pueblo County and the San Luis Valley.

Election forecasters at the Cook Political Report last week shifted the district to toss-up status from "Lean Republican," citing Frisch's lopsided fundraising advantage, including raising more than three times what the incumbent collected in the most recent quarter.
