With over half of Colorado\u2019s Third Congressional District containing federal land, I\u2019ll have a unique opportunity to be a strong voice for my constituents on important issues impacting their livelihoods. I\u2019ll pursue policies that increase access and ensure multiple-use for sportsmen and other public land enthusiasts, allow for responsible energy production while protecting the environment, reduce our dependency on rare earths and critical minerals from China, empower tribes, increase storage and protect precious water supplies, and promote job creation while removing unnecessary regulations and red tape.\n\n\u201cAmerica is nearly $28 trillion in debt. It is far past time that Congress gets it fiscal house in order, prioritize the values of the American people, and put an end to Washington\u2019s wasteful federal spending. As a mother of four and a small business owner, I know it takes discipline and tough choices to balance a budget. We can no longer afford to spend and borrow away our children\u2019s future. I thank the Steering Committee and Ranking Members Bruce Westerman and Jason Smith for their trust. I look forward to getting to work and what we will accomplish for the people of Colorado\u2019s Third District.\u201d\n\nBackground\n\nToday, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) announced her Committee assignments for the 117th Congress.\n\nRepresentative Boebert will serve on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on the Budget.\n\nHouse Committee on Natural Resources and Rep.
