dang I guess I just assumed she must've already been from the most shithead district available, crazy to think there's (edit: possibly) an even worse place than the one she got elected from to start with
It is. Her current district is +9 gop, and she only won it by 500 votes last time. Her dem challenger raised millions for the upcoming election already, while she had record bad fund raising.
This one district shes shifting to is +27 GOP, so she will likely win if she isn't primaried.
Colorado went through a round of redistricting, so her old seat lost a bunch of the baked-in far-right evangelical base that she'd enjoyed up till now. She only held her CO-3 seat by 1% of the vote, so she's DOA going into 2024 with the new district lines and population changes.
By contrast, CO-4 is a comically lopsided 63/30 Republican district. She can camp out there indefinitely if she wins her primary.
