Boebert-Coram debate yesterday. This is the first debate Boebert has actively participated in since joining politics.

Quite interesting numbers related to voter registration. Between February and May, about 3,700 voters have changed their registration from Democratic to unaffiliated or another party. Probably driven in large part by an effort by Democrats to defeat Boebert in the primaries. Although this doesn't even represent 1% of all registered voters in the district, this could very well be the biggest shift in party registration in such a short amount of time out of any congressional district this cycle.

Also, I found this excellent analysis of the primary race. Here are a few excerpts:

Quote
Coram’s limited campaign presence up to this point has made some of his supporters nervous. Some express dismay that he hasn’t been getting out in the 50,000-square-mile district since he announced outside a Grand Junction coffee shop in early January that he would challenge Boebert. In the meantime, Boebert has been running weekly front-page ads in the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel that refer to her opponent as “Corrupt Coram.” She pops up regularly in the local media as she makes the rounds at award ceremonies and community meetings, dropping incendiary pronouncements about state and national hot topics.     

Coram brushes off her attacks on him as “lies – all lies.” And he cites several reasons for his seeming absence on the campaign trail, mainly that he was at the Colorado Capitol finishing up his work as a state lawmaker.

Quote
Democrat John Salazar, who knows what it takes to win the 3rd District — and also how it can be lost — said now that Coram has hit the ground running, he can’t stop. Salazar represented the 3rd District for three terms from 2004 to 2011 but was knocked off by Cortez businessman Scott Tipton in his 2010 bid for a fourth term. Tipton held the seat until he was ousted in the 2020 GOP primary by Boebert.

“He (Coram) is very popular in this valley,” said Salazar, who now farms near Manassa. “But I know he is going to have to get out there in the district a bunch.”

Quote
Boebert also has the advantage of being flush with campaign cash. She has outraised Coram by a huge margin. At the end of March, Boebert had $2.2 million on hand. Coram had $55,000.
