A moderate Colorado state senator on Wednesday announced he is taking on Rep. Lauren Boebert in this year's GOP primary, the first challenge to the firebrand congresswoman by an elected Republican. Boebert has only been in office one year but become a divisive national figure for her flirtations with conspiratorial conservative thinking, her provocative social media style and for picking fights with Democratic colleagues like Rep. Ilhan Omar. The owner of a firearm-themed restaurant in the town of Rifle, Boebert has already drawn one primary challenger, Marina Zimmerman, a crane operator in the southwestern Colorado town of Arboles who's never run for office before.
