Incumbent Lauren Boebert (R) defeated Adam Frisch (D) and three other candidates in the November 8, 2022, general election for 3rd Congressional District of Colorado.
Boebert was first elected in 2020. Before running for Congress, her career experience included working as a natural gas product technician and owning and operating Shooters Grill.[1] When Boebert announced her campaign for re-election, she said, "We don’t just need to take the House back in 2022, but we need to take the House back with fearless conservatives, strong Republicans, just like me."[2] Boebert said, "I’ll always vote for a strong national defense, better care for our Veterans, stronger trade agreements and to keep the promises we’ve made to our seniors."[3] She also campaigned on defending the Constitution, limiting government, and reducing regulations.[3]
Frisch served on the Aspen City Council from 2011 to 2019.[4] Frisch described himself as a "a pro-business, pro-energy, moderate, pragmatic Democrat."[5] Frisch completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. In his response, Frisch said his "top economic priority is getting inflation under control" and that if elected he would "head straight to the Problem Solvers Caucus, the bipartisan group that brought the country the infrastructure bill."

Richard Tetu (Independent), Kristin Skowronski (Independent), and Marina Zimmerman (independent) ran as write-in candidates.

Adam Frisch (D)
Adam is an experienced leader and has moderate and rural-focused policies that align with the district's interests.
Lauren Boebert is vulnerable, weak, and going to lose.
Kristin Skowronski (Independent)
FREEDOM: Freedom is the backbone of our democracy. Spineless bureaucrats would love to see it ripped from every man, woman, and child who refuse to conform to their vision of the model citizen. It is time to take back our rights from these radical oppressors. The 9th Amendment of the Constitution guarantees the retention of innate freedoms to the people. Kristin will fight for all of your liberties, those you currently have and those you are being denied. Those freedoms include but are not limited to the right to receive appropriate healthcare, the right to be who you are, and the right to make a living as you see fit.
UNITY: There are bushels of resources being spent to wedge a divide between common people. Our diversity in beliefs and culture is being farcically exaggerated and weaponized against us. The truth is, your neighbor is not your enemy. We must come together and eschew extreme division from all sides. The problem lies in polarizing propaganda put out by the major political parties. Together, we can begin to change the system. Vote independent to unite around our shared values and community strength.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[9]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[10][11][12]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Colorado in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 1, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Thirty candidates filed to run for Colorado’s eight U.S. House districts, including 12 Democrats and 18 Republicans. That’s 3.75 candidates per district, more than the 2.28 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.43 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Colorado gaining one congressional district. The 30 candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates running for Colorado’s U.S. House seats since at least 2012, the earliest year for which we have data.
Two seats — the 7th and the newly-created 8th district — were open. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D), who represented the 7th district, didn't file to run for re-election. The two open seats this year were the most open seats in Colorado since at least 2014. There were no open seats in 2020 and 2016, and one open seat in 2018 and 2014.
Six candidates, including incumbent Rep. Doug Lamborn (R), filed to run in the 5th district, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. There were three contested Democratic primaries, the most since 2018, when five Democratic primaries were contested. There were five contested Republican primaries, the most since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.
Four incumbents faced primary challengers, the most since at least 2014. Two incumbents, Rep. Joe Neguse (D) from the 2nd district and Rep. Jason Crow (D) from the 6th district, didn't face any primary challengers. Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, so no seats are guaranteed to either party this year.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+7. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 7 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Colorado's 3rd the 174th most Republican district nationally.[15]
