- Laubacher, a retired Navy rear admiral and former National Security Council member who switched from the Republican to Democratic Party, raised over $13 million compared to Boebert’s $1.2 million and campaigned as a moderate focused on constituent service.
- Boebert’s tenure was marked by frequent controversies and strained relations within her party, including a fallout with Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein files vote, although he endorsed her late in the campaign.
- Following her defeat, Boebert blamed heavy campaign spending against her and announced she does not plan to run for office again in 2028.
