Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), and Celeste Maloy (R-Utah) and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox are all in closely watched races.
Some of the biggest and most controversial names in the House will be maneuvering through primaries on June 25.
They include Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), the MAGA favorite now running for the Republican nomination from a new district, and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), the democratic socialist who faces a well-funded challenge because of his stance on Israel.
In Utah, voters will show just how much an endorsement from former President Donald J. Trump means in the fight to take the seat being vacated by Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), and Gov. Spencer Cox seeks reelection after losing a vote at his party’s convention.
Here are the races worth following:
Colorado Races
Colorado’s 3rd District
Ms. Boebert moved across the state, from the Western Slope to the flatter, grassier east, amid a split from her former husband, Jayson Boebert.
Whatever else it means, the move has positioned her to dodge another Third District general election battle with Democrat Adam Frisch. In 2022, the former Aspen councilman came within several hundred votes of defeating the woman former President Trump has called “a trusted America First fighter.”
Mr. Frisch is unopposed among Democrats. He also has more than $3.7 million cash on hand.
On the Republican side, Jeff Hurd, an attorney from Grand Junction, is favored by fundraising and polling over former state Rep. Ron Hanks, the candidate endorsed by the state GOP. Other contenders include Colorado State Board of Education member Stephen Varela and financial advisor Russ Andrews.
Colorado’s 4th District
Ms. Boebert’s GOP opponents include parental rights activist Deborah Flora and former state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg. State Reps. Richard Holtorf and Mike Lynch and mortgage broker Peter Yu will also be on the June 25 GOP primary ballot.
Ms. Boebert has more than $681,000 on hand. That’s significantly more than the $117,536 held by her closest Republican rival in fundraising, Ms. Flora.
On the Democratic side, retired Marine Officer Isaac “Ike” McCorkle comes a little closer to Ms. Boebert, with more than $1.4 million in total fundraising and over $163,000 on hand.
