Top Republican at Colorado Capitol jumps into crowded 4th Congressional District race
Mike Lynch (currently the house minority leader) has entered the race for Bobert's district. I suspect he has a very good shot at this seat.

"Mike Lynch, the top Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives, jumped Wednesday into the GOP primary this year in the 4th Congressional District, a race that has picked up national attention after U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert announced last week she would abandon her current congressional district to run for the 4th District seat.
Lynch, who lives in Wellington, is the minority leader in the Colorado House. He plans to stay in that role during his congressional bid.
“I’m sick of being represented by people that are not sincere in their service,” Lynch told The Colorado Sun. “I think what’s wrong with this country is (Congress) has become a job where your first concern is yourself. I think the people of CD4 deserve to have somebody that’s fighting for them who knows how to do it.”
The 4th District seat will be open after U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, announced Nov. 1 that he wouldn’t run for reelection this year, citing the GOP’s embrace of election conspiracies and Congress’ inability to get work done."
Here's a quick look at his voting record: https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/191788/mike-lynch
(I was surprised to read that he voted "nay" on the bill that gives ranchers a right to repair their equipment. I'd be curious to know why. It would be a shame if it was because the sponsor is trans.)
