Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) slammed Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over her decision to switch districts for the 2024 election cycle, calling the move ā€œblatant self-preservation.ā€

Boebert announced Wednesday that she will not seek reelection in the 3rd District and instead move to the 4th District, currently held by retiring Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.).

ā€œShe knows that she has failed the citizens of her district. She has failed to deliver for Coloradans on the western slope on issues that matter to them,ā€ Griswold said in an MSNBC interview. ā€œShe has failed to deliver legislatively. Thereā€™s scandal after scandal after scandal.ā€

ā€œI do think this is her trying to hold on to power,ā€ she added.
