'True moderate' Alex Walker enters CO-3 race to take on Rep. Lauren Boebert

Democrat Alex Walker of Eagle officially launched his campaign to unseat Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert last week with an unconventional ad — a video full of flying feces disrupting the everyday lives of Coloradans, representing what he calls the "stream of bulls---" that Boebert has spewed since she took office.

In contrast, his campaign promises that he will be "a bull, not a bulls-----r" if he is elected to represent Colorado's third senate district in a race that currently has more than 10 candidates, including Boebert, vying for the seat.

"The quote-unquote role models that we have in Congress are despicable, and I think we need to look no further than last night's State of the Union," Walker told The Chieftain, referring to Boebert yelling from the crowd, interrupting President Joe Biden's speech.

Walker said he never considered entering politics, let alone running for Congress, prior to Boebert's election. Like many of his generational peers, Walker, who is 31, sought other ways to make an impact in the state without having to delve into what he calls "the clown show" at the U.S. Capitol.
