Rep. Lauren Boebert is attributing her decision to move to a different district in part to notable celebrities such as Barbra Streisand and actor Ryan Reynolds.
In an interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast on Saturday, Boebert (R-Colo.) accused the Hollywood actors of “trying to buy” her current congressional district by contributing to her Democrat opponent, Adam Frisch.
She said that the decision was based on “how we can best defend and advance conservative principles” as the rationale behind moving the state’s Congressional districts from the 3rd to the 4th.
“But we need a strong voice there, and we have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” she said. “There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy the seat, and Colorado 3rd District is not for sale.”
Boebert will not be facing Frisch again after announcing last week that she would be switching districts. In the 2022 midterm elections, she lost to Frisch by a mere 546 votes. Since then, Frisch has also raised more money for his campaign than Boebert has, with $7.7 million to her $2.2 million.
As Boebert has expressed consistently, she “will not allow dark money” to “steal this seat.” In the most recent interview, she reiterated that assertion and maintained that Hollywood is directly funding her opponents.
“It’s coming from Hollywood when you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat,” she said. “It shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress.”
Federal Election Commission records show that Reynolds contributed $500 to Frisch’s campaign in March and Streisand donated $1,000 in April.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) said last year that he would not be seeking reelection, hence why Boebert is now vying for his seat. Due to the controversy-plagued tenure of Boebert, the Republican nominee for the state’s 3rd Congressional District now has a better chance of beating Frisch as a result of the swap.

How does Rep. Boebert believe the influence of Hollywood will impact the outcome of the upcoming congressional race in her new district
Title: Rep. Lauren Boebert Attributes Her District Move to Hollywood Influence
Introduction
In a recent interview on Steve Bannon’s ”War Room” podcast, U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) revealed that notable celebrities, including Barbra Streisand and actor Ryan Reynolds, played a role in her decision to move to a different district. Boebert accused Hollywood actors of attempting to influence her current congressional district by contributing to her Democrat opponent, Adam Frisch. This article explores Boebert’s rationale behind the district move and the influence of Hollywood elites in American politics.
Boebert’s Decision and Rationale
In her interview, Boebert stated that she based her decision on how best to defend and advance conservative principles. Moving the state’s Congressional districts from the 3rd to the 4th is part of her strategy. She emphasized the need for a strong voice in the 4th district and expressed her determination to shut down Hollywood elites who are attempting to buy her current district.
Buying a District
Boebert alleged that close to $10 million has been poured into her district to buy the seat. During the 2022 midterm elections, Boebert lost to Adam Frisch by a slim margin of 546 votes. Since then, Frisch has raised more campaign funds than Boebert, with $7.7 million compared to Boebert’s $2.2 million. Boebert has consistently voiced her opposition to dark money and has pledged not to allow it to influence the election results.
Influence of Hollywood Elites
Boebert highlighted the influence of Hollywood in her opponent’s campaign. She specifically mentioned donations made by Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds to Frisch’s campaign. Federal Election Commission records confirm that Reynolds contributed $500 to Frisch’s campaign in March, while Streisand donated $1,000 in April.
The Impact on Congressional Races
The decision of Rep. Ken Buck not to seek reelection has opened an opportunity for Boebert to vie for his seat. Boebert’s controversial tenure and the support she has garnered from Republicans in her district make her the stronger candidate to defeat Frisch in the upcoming election. The district move has provided Boebert a better chance at winning the seat and continuing to represent conservative principles in Congress.
Conclusion
Rep. Lauren Boebert’s decision to move to a different district in Colorado has sparked discussions about the influence of Hollywood elites in American politics. Boebert accuses notable celebrities, such as Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds, of attempting to buy her district by supporting her opponent’s campaign financially. Boebert’s determination to defend conservative principles and her refusal to allow dark money influence in elections underlines her commitment to serving the people. As the upcoming election approaches, it remains to be seen how the Hollywood influence will impact the outcome of the congressional race.
