The progressive Working Families Party on Monday endorsed Pueblo activist Sol Sandoval in the Democratic primary for the 3rd Congressional District seat held by Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert.
Calling Sandoval an incredible, proven community organizer and leader, Wendy Howell, director of the Working Families Party s Colorado affiliate, said the former social worker is the strongest candidate to take on Boebert in next year s election.
“Sol Sandoval has two decades of experience fighting for those our state and nation have left behind, Howell said in a statement. It’s time to bring that fight to Congress and the Working Families Party will do all we can to make sure Congressional District 3 has a representative that will fight for communities, not conspiracy theories.”
Only a few days into her term as U.S. Representative for Colorado s 3rd Congressional District, Lauren Boebert is already being inundated with calls for her to resign the position or risk being expelled by her new colleagues for allegedly helping to incite the violence that took place in Washington, D.C., on January 6. And these efforts are getting national attention, with CNN putting a report about the controversial firebrand in heavy rotation over this past weekend.
For her part, Boebert has made it clear that she doesn t plan to go anywhere despite the furor created by Coloradans who voted against her and those who wish they could have.
