https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-boebert-defends-tourism-small-businesses-disabled-and-aerial-wildfire Rep. Boebert Defends Tourism, Small Businesses, the Disabled, and Aerial Wildfire Fighters from the Biden Regime’s Job-Killing Overreach 2021-12-13 2021 2021-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Congresswoman Lauren Boebert led 14 Members of Congress in a letter blasting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Park Service (NPS) for proposing new management plans that would decimate the air tours industry, threaten air traffic safety, and inhibit wildfire response. Congresswoman Boebert stated: “Instead of trying to help businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and the awful economic conditions imposed during his first year in office, the Biden regime is imposing job-killing mandates to pander to a small group of environmentalist extremists that hate small planes and helicopters. This misguided overreach will shut down tourism and air tours, prevent seniors and handicapped Americans from viewing our National Parks, exacerbate wildfires, and harm small businesses in rural America. These draft plans should be scrapped just like the rest of Biden’s agenda.” Background: The National Parks Air Tour Management Act explicitly required the FAA and NPS to come up with detailed plans to manage air traffic at national parks. After 20 years of bureaucratic bickering and turf wars between the FAA and the NPS, a federal judge ordered both agencies to come up with new plans within two years. Instead of creating a plan that works for impacted stakeholders, the Biden regime's bureaucracies decided to spitefully punish air tour companies by significantly reducing the number of allotted flights over 15 national parks by almost 9000. Unsurprisingly, this decision was not reached by following the proper legal processes. The National Parks Air Tour Management Act explicitly required the FAA and the NPS to consult with interested parties and stakeholders and hold public meetings. Additionally, the FAA and the NPS were required to consult with the National Parks Overflight Advisory Group. The Biden regime failed to follow either of these requirements. The new draft management plans are not based on any sort of science, and actually increase safety concerns for passengers, since some of them direct f… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-lauren-boebert-secures-support-senior-house-appropriators-block-biden Rep. Lauren Boebert Secures Support from Senior House Appropriators to Block the Biden Regime’s Proposed Policy Moving the Bureau of Land Management's Headquarters to D.C. 2021-12-13 2021 2021-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Rep. Lauren Boebert secured the support of Ranking Member of the House Committee on Appropriations, Rep. Kay Granger and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, Rep. David P. Joyce in blocking the Biden regime’s proposed policy moving the Bureau of Land Management's Headquarters to D.C. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “I am grateful to Ranking Members Granger and Joyce for their support in keeping the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters in the West. It’s sad that two Members from Texas and Ohio are doing more to stand up for jobs in Colorado than Colorado’s two U.S. Senators. These career politicians may be ok with broken promises and a hollow ‘Western headquarters’ but I won’t stand for it. Sadly, the Biden regime continues to put the interests of the Swamp ahead of the interests of the American people. The Bureau of Land Management Headquarters and associated jobs should stay in the West where they belong.” Background: In a letter to Rep. Boebert, Chairman of the Western Caucus Dan Newhouse, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Natural Resources Bruce Westerman, and 20 other Members of Congress, Ranking Member Kay Granger and Ranking Member David P. Joyce promised to “stand with [us] in strong opposition to the [Bureau of Land Management] reprogramming request.” Moving the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters to D.C. is a colossal waste of taxpayer money. As Ranking Member Kay Granger and Ranking Member David P. Joyce noted in their letter, “Rather than waste money bringing bureaucracy back to Washington, we should be investing these funds in important national and local priorities, like our military and schools.” Rep. Boebert has actively led the opposition to the Biden regime’s partisan decision to move the Bureau of Land Management headquarters to D.C.: 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/vice-chair-lauren-boebert-leads-western-caucus-calling-out-biden Vice Chair Lauren Boebert Leads the Western Caucus in Calling Out Biden Administration’s Reckless Proposal to put the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters in the Hands of D.C. Bureaucrats 2021-12-10 2021 2021-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper In response to new information received regarding the proposal to relocate the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters to Washington, D.C., Vice Chair Lauren Boebert (CO-03) led 21 Members of Congress and Congressional Western Caucus Members in sending a letter to U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland in strong opposition. The flawed reprogramming proposal sheds further light on the plan to relocate senior staff further away from the lands they are responsible for managing and cause significant harm to local communities, displacing BLM employees, negatively impacting local communities in the region, and resulting in less effective management of our public lands. Click here to read the letter. “The Trump Administration’s decision to move the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters and hundreds of jobs to the West and closer to the lands they manage was widely praised and enjoyed strong bipartisan support in Congress as well at the state and local levels,” said Vice Chair Lauren Boebert (CO-03). “Only the Biden regime would ask Appropriators to bless an expensive move back to the Swamp two years from now without telling them how much it costs. Stealing 25 good-paying jobs from the Grand Junction community goes back on the Department’s promise to the bipartisan Colorado delegation to ‘grow and expand’ the Bureau’s presence in Grand Junction. It’s time Secretary Haaland stopped playing politics with people’s lives and stopped screwing over rural communities.” “Since day one, the Biden Administration has been adamant on implementing a one-size-fits-all approach that puts land management of the West back into the hands of D.C. bureaucrats,” said Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04). “The Bureau of Land Management oversees one out of every ten acres in the United States, and when we visited Grand Junction, we heard firsthand about how the BLM Headquarters has benefited local communities, economies, and – importantly – their ability to manage public lands throughout the West. This new information confirms what I… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-boebert-opposes-raising-debt-ceiling Rep. Boebert Opposes Raising the Debt Ceiling 2021-12-08 2021 2021-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Rep. Lauren Boebert voted against a bill that would allow the Senate to suspend the filibuster and raise the debt limit: “The American people are tired of the Swamp and yet, the swampiest thing that has happened since I’ve been here occurred this week. Senate Republican leadership whipped 10 RINOs to sell out conservatives and the country by allowing Democrats to raise the debt limit without 60 votes. This fiscally irresponsible legislation allows Democrats to spend at least two trillion more dollars immediately and literally provides a blank space for them to spend whatever amount they want. These swamp creatures are going to absurd lengths, including bypassing the filibuster, in order to bailout Democrats. It’s far past time that Republicans started doing what they said they would do. I’ll keep holding up my end of the bargain, but we need these other Republicans to start leading.” Rep. Boebert released a video calling out the Senate Republicans who partnered with Senate Democrats to remove the filibuster in order to raise the debt limit. Watch: Background: Senate Republican leadership and at least 10 RINOs negotiated a deal with Democrats that amends the Senate’s procedural rules to enable it to bypass the filibuster and allow a later vote on a debt limit increase by a 51-vote threshold. The new procedural measure would limit debate and prevent the need for a cloture vote, which requires 60 votes. The bill allows Democrats to increase the debt limit by trillions of dollars and to any number they want without the threat of a filibuster, as long as they do it before January 16th. The provision allowing a simple-majority vote in the Senate on the debt limit measure is supposedly limited to this “one time”, but it sets a dangerous precedent for future debt limit increases and the future of the filibuster. The bill allows the Democrats to raise the debt ceiling to whatever amount they choose until 2023. Congresswoman Boebert is concerned about out-of-control Washington spending and voted against this bill that … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-lauren-boebert-votes-fund-us-military Rep. Lauren Boebert Votes to Fund U.S. Military 2021-12-08 2021 2021-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Rep. Lauren Boebert voted to fund the United States military by passing the National Defense Authorization Act and equip our brave men and women in uniform with the resources they need to accomplish their missions. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “I voted for a defense bill which will ensure that America’s military remains the strongest force throughout the world. The removal of provisions that would draft our daughters, implement red flag laws, and establish an ‘Office of Countering Extremism’ were important factors in my decision to vote for this legislation. The NDAA also includes provisions that will provide some accountability for Biden’s Afghanistan debacle. Funding for our military should not be a partisan issue and this legislation was a step towards removing partisan politics that distract from military readiness and national security.” “I was also glad to see that the DeGette and Neguse land grab bills were removed in this version of the bill, preventing more than 760,000 acres of land in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District from being locked up by the federal government.” Background: While Rep. Boebert applauds the vast improvement of this version of NDAA from the first version she voted against on September 23rd, Rep. Boebert still has some concerns with the legislation. Specifically, the Congresswoman was disappointed that the NDAA did not include a provision blocking the Biden regime from carrying out a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for our troops. The Congresswoman is committed to supporting the right of military personnel to choose not to receive the COVID vaccine, particularly for those who possess natural immunity from a previous infection. Having said that, the bill did take some positive actions with regard to Biden’s military COVID vaccine mandate overreach by ensuring DoD cannot dishonorably discharge troops for not taking the COVID-19 vaccine, including retroactive language, and by requiring the establishment of a uniform policy that allows for medical, administrative and religious exemptions f… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-boebert-blasts-leftist-environmental-extremists-killing-jordan-cove Rep. Boebert Blasts Leftist Environmental Extremists for Killing the Jordan Cove Natural Gas Pipeline 2021-12-03 2021 2021-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Rep. Lauren Boebert blasted leftist extremists for killing the Jordan Cove Pipeline, which would have provided thousands of good-paying energy jobs, secured American energy independence, and improved the environment. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Under the Trump administration, America was a net energy exporter, but under the Biden regime, we have been begging OPEC for energy. American natural gas is some of the cleanest-burning fuel in the world, and to improve the environment, provide American jobs, secure American economic and national security, and project an image of strength to the world, America should pursue energy independence. The cancellation of the Jordan Cove Pipeline is a tragedy for Coloradans and for American energy independence. American energy policy should not hinge on a few radical, well-funded environmentalists on the West Coast.” Background: The Jordan Cove Pipeline would have exported natural gas from Colorado and Utah’s Piceance and Uinta basins to secure American energy independence and put America back on track to be a net energy exporter. Exporting American energy is a key component of securing American energy dominance, and it enhances American national security while providing American jobs and improving the environment since we drill cleaner energy than any other country on earth. By exporting natural gas, American energy allows other countries to move away from coal to cleaner-burning fuel and improves air quality and reduces CO2 emissions globally. Even though the Jordan Cove Pipeline was initially approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, it was ultimately killed by radical environmentalists on the West Coast, including Oregon Governor Kate Brown. At every step of the way, environmental extremists filed frivolous lawsuits, failed to approve state permits, and imposed undue burdens on responsible energy development in an effort to kill American energy dominance. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-lauren-boebert-introduces-legislation-halt-biden-regimes-plan-give-1 Rep. Lauren Boebert Introduces Legislation to Halt the Biden Regime’s Plan to Give $450,000 Payments to Illegal Aliens 2021-11-22 2021 2021-11 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Rep. Lauren Boebert introduced the We’re Not Paying You to Break Our Laws Act to prohibit settlement payments to illegal aliens of any amount as part of litigation filed by criminals suing the federal government. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “In Biden’s America, it is better to be a criminal than a law enforcement officer. Border Patrol agents may be fired because of Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal employees, but illegal aliens get a free pass into our country and could receive a $450,000 check. For contrast, the highest-paid Border Patrol agents make less than half that in yearly salary after 20 years of service. I’ve had enough of the Biden regime’s madness, so I introduced the We’re Not Paying You to Break Our Laws Act to restore sanity and the rule of law. We should be putting Americans first, not criminals!” Background: The Wall Street Journal reported that the Biden regime is planning to pay criminal illegal aliens $450,000 as a reward for breaking the law and being separated from family members at the border by the previous administration. The Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Health and Human Services estimated that the final payments could amount to $1 million per family. The disgraced ACLU is involved in litigation suing the federal government on behalf of criminals apprehended during the Trump Administration. The total payout to settle this frivolous lawsuit may amount to $1 billion or more. Rep. Boebert’s We’re Not Paying You to Break Our Laws Act stops the Biden regime’s plans to settle this ridiculous lawsuit and bans payments from going to criminals frivolously suing the federal government. When asked about his administration’s plans to pay criminals $450,000, Biden dismissed the reporting by saying that the payments won’t happen. Shockingly, Biden’s Deputy Press Secretary overruled him and said that the Biden regime is hoping to give payments to illegal aliens. The We’re Not Paying You to Break Our Laws Act provides clarity to the White Hou… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z

Lauren Boebert's Statement on FBI Investigation into Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters 2021-11-22 2021 2021-11 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Congresswoman Lauren Boebert issued the following statement today regarding the ongoing investigation into Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters: “Many of the constituents I represent have expressed concern about the ongoing investigation into Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters. At my request, I recently received a briefing from District Attorney Dan Rubinstein. He addressed my concerns about the involvement of the FBI and the absolute necessity for the presumption of innocence to be extended to all of those being investigated. As many of you know, I have been a vocal opponent of the overreach and targeted nature of the FBI’s activities on a national level. It was clear from our conversation that the District Attorney is being responsible in his approach and conducting his work in as timely and professional a manner as possible, as well as providing local oversight of the FBI’s role. I will continue to be briefed as the investigation proceeds and can reassure everyone that I will continue to advocate for fairness, timeliness, and strict adherence to the proper investigative process.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z

Boebert Introduces House Companion to Senator Lee’s Bill Prohibiting Funding for Sex Change Surgeries, Chemical Castrations, and Puberty-Blocking Drugs for Minors 2021-11-08 2021 2021-11 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Rep. Boebert introduced a House companion bill to Senator Mike Lee’sProtecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act to prohibit tax dollars from funding sex change, sterilization, chemical castration, and puberty-blocking procedures for minors suffering from gender dysphoria. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Add mutilating children to the National Institute of Horrors’ (NIH) long list of funding evil research, which already includes gain-of-function research in Wuhan, scalping aborted babies and fusing their skin to lab rats, organ harvesting aborted babies’ genitalia, and insects eating dogs’ faces off. Using psychologically vulnerable children as lab rats for testing the puberty-blocking drugs used in chemical castration procedures for sex offenders, medically unnecessary mastectomies, irreversible hormone treatment, life-altering sterilization procedures, and genital mutilation is wrong.” Senator Mike Lee said, “The Federal Government should never fund research that harms kids. This bill will protect taxpayers from funding spurious research, but more importantly, it will protect kids from the permanent damage this irresponsible research can produce.” Terry Schilling, President, American Principles Project said, "Most Americans do not want their tax dollars going towards studies that encourage children to undergo experimental, dangerous procedures to 'change' their sex. Yet here in Washington, left-wing ideologues in government seem intent on overruling the people and imposing their extreme ideology on the rest of the country. Thankfully, we still have courageous leaders like Senator Mike Lee willing to stand up to this insanity. APP applauds Sen. Lee for introducing this important legislation, and we urge every senator with an ounce of decency to support this commonsense bill." Jessica Anderson, Executive Director, Heritage Action for America said, “Unproven, irreversible procedures related to gender transitions for children do more harm than good, as research shows that 80 to 95 percent of children with gender … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z

Lauren Boebert, Dan Bishop, and Bob Good were elected by members of the House Freedom Caucus to serve on the board guiding the caucus as it advocates for freedom and conservative values. Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated: “I am honored to be elected by my peers to serve on the Board of the House Freedom Caucus as a freshman member of Congress. These men and women of faith serve with real conviction and are in Congress for the right reasons. The Freedom Caucus is the group that is closest to the people and effectively represents the forgotten men and women of America. When candidates run on conservative principles, they win. But when we legislate conservative policies, the American people win. In this new leadership position, I look forward to continuing to work with the conservative champions in the Freedom Caucus to put forth the solutions that the American people need and take back this great country.” Rep. Bob Good (VA-05) said: “The House Freedom Caucus stands for the freedoms of Americans that career politicians in Washington, and sadly too many Republicans, tend to neglect. I have full faith in my colleagues in the House Freedom Caucus to stand up for the core principles that made this country great, regardless of popular opinion. That is why I am honored to be selected by my like-minded colleagues to be a leader among those who are also dedicated to doing what they say they will do when they run for office. We are committed to be the tip of the spear and lead the fight to stop the extremist efforts by the Democrats and Biden administration.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-boebert-introduces-stop-aoc-act-stop-funding-cradle-grave-socialism Rep. Boebert Introduces the Stop AOC Act to Stop Funding Cradle to Grave Socialism 2021-11-01 2021 2021-11 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Rep. Boebert released the following statement following the introduction of the Stop Appropriating for Obsequy Costs Act (Stop AOC Act) to stop FEMA from wastefully dolling out taxpayer money for COVID funerals until 2023: “AOC’s new government welfare program is cradle to grave—literally. AOC and Chuck Schumer have shelled out $1.2 billion in COVID funeral earmarks. Never mind that the average cost of a funeral is $3,000-$7,000, AOC’s FEMA program will give you $9,000. There has been little to no auditing of this colossal waste of money, and the program is ripe for abuse and fraud—even allowing illegal immigrant families to receive taxpayer money. The Biden regime’s priority is placating AOC instead of helping Americans; for instance, while the VA backlog takes over 125 days, it only takes a month to get funding from AOC’s pet project. This is just another blue state bailout, and coastal blue states like Maryland, New York, D.C., and California get almost 70% more money per COVID death on average than rural states like Colorado, Montana, Idaho, and New Mexico. The American people shouldn’t be forced to shell out another billion dollars of taxpayer money over the next 14 months for AOC’s COVID funerals and this new socialist program should end today.” Background: AOC and Senator Schumer created a new program for American taxpayers to foot the bill for funeral expenses that may or may not have been the result of a COVID-19 death. FEMA has shelled out more than $1.2 billion to 196,000 people out of the initial $2 billion earmarked for the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Program. Even more funds were allocated to FEMA through the passage of the American Rescue Plan that allow the agency to continue operating this program until 2023, three years after the beginning of the pandemic. These reimbursements cover up to $9,000 per funeral and allow up to $35,500 per application for multiple funerals when the average cost for a funeral is between $3,000-$7,000. This program is an unnecessary, colossal waste of taxpayer mone… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z

Boebert Leads Colorado Republicans in Opposing Taxpayer Dollars Going to Sex Change/Sterilization Surgeries for Minors 2021-10-27 2021 2021-10 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Today, Rep. Boebert led a letter with Congressmen Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn in condemning the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for approving Governor Polis’ request to include gender-affirming care as an essential health benefit in Colorado. This will require Medicaid, Medicare, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and private health insurance companies to cover taxpayer-funded permanent, life-altering sex change surgeries for minors. Rep. Boebert stated: “Sex change surgeries render a person sterile for life, and taxpayer dollars should not be used to permanently maim confused children. It is barbaric that Governor Polis is trying to use Colorado to mandate CMS provide taxpayer funding for these immoral procedures nationwide. Children should never be used as pawns to advance radical gender ideology. Using taxpayer dollars to fund sex changes and sterilization surgeries is one of the most reprehensible, disgusting, extreme, and grotesque policies I’ve ever seen. Permanently altering and disabling the physical bodies of children is never ok—and it is especially deplorable when done to gain cheap political points with the radical left.” Background: The new policy of the Biden regime is to use taxpayer dollars to fund: Puberty blockers Laser hair removal Surgical sterilization Eye and lid modifications Medically unnecessary plastic surgery Medically unnecessary mastectomies Breast implants Life-altering, irreversible drugs Face tightening Facial bone remodeling for facial feminization Mental wellness exams Reps. Boebert, Buck, and Lamborn’s letter to the Administrator for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, is available here and below: We write in response to your October 12, 2021, announcement that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved Colorado’s proposal to “provide gender-affirming care in the individual and small group health insurance markets.” We strongly oppose these proposed actions and urge you to immediately withdraw CMS’s app… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z

Boebert stated: "Let me be clear. I had no role in the planning or execution of any event that took place at the Capitol or anywhere in Washington, DC on January 6th. With the help of my staff, I accepted an invitation to speak at one event but ultimately I did not speak at any events on January 6th. Once again, the media is acting as a messaging tool for the radical left. The left falsely accused me of giving a reconnaissance tour. In reality, I was visiting the Capitol with my family. They lied claiming my mother was the 'bull horn lady.' She was not. They filed an ethics complaint against me for alleged involvement in January 6th activities, but the complaint was dismissed because it simply was not true. Now, grasping at straws, Rolling Stone is using anonymous sources and shoddy reporting to attack me. Thank you, next." 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z

Boebert Cosponsors Bill to Stop the IRS from Trampling on Americans’ Privacy by Excessively Monitoring Bank Accounts 2021-10-14 2021 2021-10 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stood up for Americans’ financial privacy by cosponsoring the Protecting Financial Privacy Act to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from accessing and monitoring Americans’ bank transactions above $600. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “I won’t stand idly by watching Janet Yellen radically transform the IRS into a leftist, Praetorian Guard that spies on Americans’ private financial transactions. Last time Joe Biden had an office in the White House, his administration weaponized the IRS to target conservative organizations. That overreach didn’t give him enough control, so now, he is trying to allow IRS bureaucrats to spy on individual American’s bank accounts. The federal government has no business monitoring small cash deposits and how Americans pay their bills and has no right to snoop around in private checking accounts without a warrant. The Constitution is the new White House doormat, but if Biden bothered to give it a read, he’d know that the Fourth Amendment doesn’t allow unreasonable searches.” Congresswoman Ashley Hinson said: “Forcing financial institutions to turn over Americans' transactions of $600 or more would compromise the privacy of Americans, shut down community financial institutions, and ultimately reduce Iowans' access to credit. The IRS doesn't need access to Iowans' most basic personal information; the government has no right to know every time Iowans pay their bills or go the grocery store. The Protecting Financial Privacy Act would block this proposal and safeguard taxpayers from this invasion of privacy. The push to include this provision in reconciliation, along with $80 billion to nearly quadruple the IRS budget, is reflective of how backwards Democrat priorities are right now--we need more border agents, not more IRS agents." Senator Tommy Tuberville said: “Folks feel uneasy when someone is snooping around in their business, especially when it’s the federal government doing the snooping. Yet that is exactly what President Biden wants to do with ex… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z

Boebert Demands Accountability from Attorney General Garland for Using the FBI to Weaponize Against Concerned Parents and Classify Them as Domestic Terrorists 2021-10-07 2021 2021-10 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Today, Rep. Boebert sent a letter demanding accountability from Attorney General Merrick Garland for his unconstitutional weaponization of the FBI against parents exercising their First Amendment rights and for his egregious conflicts of interest. Rep. Boebert stated, “Both sides of the aisle ought to be concerned that Merrick Garland, the top law enforcement officer in our nation, is weaponizing the FBI’s National Security Branch against concerned parents while at the same time his family appears to be making millions peddling critical race theory and teaching our children to hate each other.” Background: On October 4th, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum directing the FBI to weaponize against parents for defending their children from critical race theory, mask mandates, and lies about biological gender. Rep. Boebert is demanding accountability for this decision and is requesting to receive Attorney General Garland’s ethics recusal list, and to know what partisan hacks are responsible for this unconstitutional use of the federal government’s police power. The full text of Rep. Boebert’s letter is available here and below: Dear Attorney General Garland, I am alarmed by your decision to weaponize the Department of Justice (DOJ) against concerned parents, exercising their First Amendment rights, who dare to oppose the teaching of critical race theory, a repulsive and racist ideology, in their children’s schools. This policy change appears to be in response to a letter from the National School Boards Association that claimed American public schools are under “threat” from law-abiding parents and compared some of their actions to a form of “domestic terrorism.” Parents have absolutely every right to express their opinions at public school board meetings concerning their children’s education. The DOJ’s October 4, 2021, press release indicated your office is in possession of new data concerning “an increase in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school board members, teach… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z

Boebert Joins Letter Blasting Fish and Wildlife Service for Reviewing the Relisting of Gray Wolves Under the Endangered Species Act 2021-10-01 2021 2021-10 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Rep. Boebert joined Congressman Matt Rosendale and seven other Members of Congress in a letter calling out the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for announcing it will be conducting a 12-month comprehensive status review to potentially relist the gray wolf under the Endangered Species Act, despite robust state-led efforts to manage the species and a finding in October of 2020 that federal listing was no longer appropriate due to a full recovery of the species. Rep. Boebert stated: “Radical special-interest groups are wasting resources by forcing the Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct reviews of a species that is thriving and already fully recovered. This move is extremist enviros’ first step to relist gray wolves as an endangered species and reinstate the federal government’s one-size-fits-all micromanagement of our farmers, ranchers, and state and local officials. Bureaucrats in D.C. shouldn’t interfere with local conservation efforts that are more than capable of managing the species effectively while also protecting livestock. An Endangered Species Act designation is not in the best interests of Colorado.” Background: Last year, the Fish and Wildlife Service announced the delisting of the gray wolf from the ESA, citing their successful recovery after more than 45 years of being listed as an endangered species. State and tribal wildlife management agencies assumed responsibility from the federal government for sustainable management of gray wolf populations. The decision was based on the best scientific and commercial data available and the proven track records of states and tribes in managing healthy wolf populations. At over 6,000 wolves in the lower 48 states at the time of delisting, the gray wolf has been the latest in a strong list of ESA recoveries with populations in the northern Rocky Mountains and across the mountain West and western Great Lakes regions. Gray wolf populations have been managed responsibly by state and tribal efforts since their delisting. Troublingly, the Biden administrat… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z

Lauren Boebert upheld her oath to defend the Constitution of the United States by solemnly introducing articles of impeachment against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Joe Biden willfully abandoned his duty as President of the United States and violated his constitutional oath to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed’ by failing to ensure the national security of the United States and its citizens. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris handed over billions of dollars of American-made weapons to the very scum of the earth that we spent $2 trillion fighting. The Biden regime is not being held accountable. There have been no resignations, no indictments, no investigations, no congressional oversight, no outcry from the mainstream media, and no apologies—so I’m stepping up to hold Biden and Harris accountable by filing articles of impeachment for giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies and colluding with the Taliban. “And let me be clear, Vice President Harris is complicit in all of this. She can’t hide as the incompetent Border czar, and she can’t hide from her moral and legal duty to remove Joe Biden via the 25th Amendment due to his clear inability to ‘discharge the powers and duties of his office.’ Biden is supposed to be the commander-in-chief, but he forgot the name of the Pentagon, the Department of Defense, and the Secretary of Defense. His indecision, incompetence, and mental failings cost American lives, and Kamala had a duty to step up and remove Biden from office. She failed, and now 13 American servicemembers are dead. One way or another, Kamala needs to be impeached for her failure to step up and stop this avoidable catastrophe.” Congressman Jody Hice said: “The President of the United States willingly abandoned American citizens behind enemy lines, and his incompetence and miscalculations contributed to the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers. As if that were not enough, he deserted thousands of Afghan allies to be slaughtered. Furthermore, as the Taliban streng… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z

Boebert blasted House Democrats for passing H.R. 5304, legislation that raises the debt limit through suspension of the debt ceiling and continues Biden’s reckless spending spree. Rep Boebert stated: “We just gave tens of billions of dollars in U.S. weapons to the Taliban and now Democrats have removed funds for the Iron Dome in Israel and put our closet ally at risk. Shameful. “Furthermore, America is nearly $30 trillion in debt and soaring inflation has significantly increased the price of gasoline, milk, beef, propane, clothing, hotel stays and even bacon. Inflation is taxation and taxation is theft that takes more money out of hard-working Americans’ pocket books. Biden and his partisan hacks have no plan to tackle America’s spending addiction and get our fiscal house in order. Shamefully, House Democrats voted to suspend the debt ceiling, without any fiscal reforms, till after the November 2022 elections, and they want a blank check to continue their reckless spending. H.R. 5304 ensures career politicians will once again be voting for ‘must-pass’ legislation right before Christmas to spend trillions of dollars on bills that no one ever reads so they can skip town and make it home for Christmas. Shamefully, Biden and Pelosi are attempting to spend nearly $10 trillion this year alone. Our children shouldn’t be saddled with trillions of dollars of more debt and forced to pay for Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi’s extreme agenda. Congress needs to stop kicking the proverbial spending can down the road and make the hard decisions necessary to rein in our debt and balance the federal budget.” Background Democrats passed H.R. 5304 by a partisan vote of 220-211, with 0 Republicans voting for this partisan spending bill. H.R. 5304 extends current discretionary funding levels that are set to expire next week on September 30th, without making any fiscal reforms, through December 3, 2021.

Boebert issued a statement prior to her vote against the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Boebert’s remarks: “After much consideration, I am going to vote no on the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act, and you need to know why. I love our military. I’m grateful for their service and sacrifice. Our brave service men and women didn’t fight for this liberal woke garbage of an agenda, and I didn’t come to Washington to put a rubber stamp on it either. Unfortunately, Democrats politicized and jeopardized funding for our troops in the NDAA, legislation that has traditionally been very bipartisan. But look, just last week, Republicans were calling for the resignations and impeachment of military leaders for their total incompetence. We all saw the tragedy in Afghanistan that killed 13 of our servicemembers and the drone strike that left innocent children dead. I won’t sign on to a bill that does nothing to address these failures. If the Biden regime isn’t going to take any responsibility, and if Nancy Pelosi isn’t going to allow Congress to pursue investigations, and if nobody is going to get fired over the Afghanistan debacle, then I am not going to vote to give the Democrats carte blanche to do that crap all over again. There are provisions in this legislation that contain swampy earmarks, require us to cover abortion drugs, and require women to enter the draft. We are drafting our daughters. What does it say about a country that has to force its women into combat? The creation of useless offices and mandatory trainings to promote “wokeness” and diversity inclusion among our troops distracts from the national security mission of the armed services. And speaking of national security, the Democrats want to permanently close Guantanamo Bay. Yep, GITMO will be closed, releasing terrorists that are headed straight for our southern border, that we all know is wide open. Pelosi’s NDAA unconstitutionally authorizes red flag laws and a new military court gun confiscation program that will str… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z

Boebert condemned the Department of Interior’s partisan decision to move the Bureau of Land Management headquarters back to D.C. and condemned Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper for failing to stand up for Colorado by using procedural tactics easily available to them. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “The fight to keep the Bureau of Land Management in Grand Junction was always bipartisan, but when it came down to the wire, Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper folded and failed to stand up for Colorado by using procedural tools to leverage the Biden regime to keep the main Bureau of Land Management headquarters, Director, and senior leadership in Grand Junction. The junior senator from Michigan held up eight high-level Department of Defense nominations to leverage a win for his state, but Bennet and Hickenlooper combined couldn’t find the courage to place a hold on just one nominee. As usual, these politicians’ promises were nothing more than empty words. I hope they will be vigilant in ensuring the rug isn’t pulled out from under them and that the new promises the Biden regime made them materialize. These new Grand Junction jobs need to be delivered, people should know about them and what they are, and the details shouldn’t be changed later. “Today’s rushed decision isn’t about helping western communities. It is clearly a partisan attack on rural communities. It hasn’t been thought-out, and important questions have yet to be answered, including where will employees that move back to D.C. work? As the Department of the Interior is essentially empty currently, when will these employees go back to in-person work? How many employees will move to D.C. and Grand Junction? What employees will move to D.C. and Grand Junction? Where will the employees that move to D.C and Grand Junction move from? When will impacted employees receive written notice? Given the lack of detail and information provided for this reprogramming, appropriators should immediately reject this political, partisan move that isn’t in the best inter… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z

Lauren Boebert’s amendment to the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2022 to keep the Bureau of Land Management headquarters in Grand Junction. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Westerners deserve a voice in the land-use decisions that affect their daily lives, and it would be wrong to move the Bureau of Land Management thousands of miles away from the land it manages back to a faceless marble building in D.C. 99% of the lands that the Bureau manages are West of the Mississippi, and it only makes sense to keep the agency located near the communities it serves. The bipartisan, unanimous vote today shows that the facts are clear: keeping the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters in Grand Junction has always had broad bipartisan support.” House Committee on Natural Resources Ranking Member Bruce Westerman said: “Federal agencies exist to serve the American people. What better way to do that than by being located in the very communities they serve? The Bureau of Land Management is a critical resource for the American West, and as such, should remain headquartered there as a way to facilitate better communication and collaboration between federal, state and local stakeholders. Congresswoman Boebert has been a tireless advocate for this issue, and I’m pleased to see every member of the Natural Resources Committee show bipartisan support for her amendment to prevent this bill from moving the BLM headquarters out of Grand Junction.” Congressional Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse stated: “Moving the Bureau of Land Management’s Headquarters to Grand Junction has proven what we know to be true: Our lands in the West are far better managed by boots on the ground than the bureaucrats in D.C.

Lauren Boebert secured key legislative wins for rural Colorado by passing appropriations requests that will support rural communities, combat Western drought, prevent wildfires, support farmers and ranchers, and increase access to rural healthcare as part of the appropriations bills for Fiscal Year 2022. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Even though the appropriations bills are still Democrat wish-lists, I was able to improve them by adding key appropriations requests that will combat Western drought, bring funding to rural communities, prevent wildfires, actively manage our forests, support farmers and ranchers, and increase access to rural healthcare. I’ll never stop fighting for rural Colorado, and I will keep working to make sure that our Western values are represented in the final appropriations package that Congress passes this year.” Background: Rep. Boebert advocated for rural Colorado to the Appropriations Committee and was able to secure seven appropriations requests that support rural Colorado: Rep. Boebert secured $1.8 billion in appropriations requests for Community Health Centers that provide medical care to rural communities. Community Health Centers save the health care system $24 billion annually since they cost less than one-sixth of an average visit to an emergency room. In Colorado’s Third Congressional District, there are eight Community Health Centers, and this appropriations request will provide better access to quality medical care, provide more jobs, and strengthen rural communities. Rep.

Lauren Boebert and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Natural Resources Bruce Westerman visited Montrose Forest Products to meet with Colorado stakeholders to discuss the importance of actively managing our forests and the timber industry. Rep. Boebert stated: “Forest management is a pillar of rural communities. I’m grateful Ranking Member Westerman drove through the night to come out and see the mill in Montrose firsthand and visit with the local community. Extremist attacks have reduced the number of sawmills in the United States from 1,311 in 1995 to just over 200 today. I’m proud of our timber industry, and since 2012, Montrose Forest Products has invested over $42 million into the mill and our local economy. Their important work helps manage our forests responsibly, and 40% of the lumber they currently process is beetle-killed. My Active Forest Management, Wildfire Prevention and Community Protection Act supports mills and local counties by increasing the amount of board feet harvested per year from public lands. My bill harnesses the power of private industry to improve forest health, protect the environment, reinvest in rural communities, and prevent wildfires." Image Background: Montrose Forest Products is a strong economic driver for rural Colorado, and since 2012, it has invested over $42 million into the mill and rural economies. 96% of the wood that Montrose Forest Products processes comes from public lands. The mill cuts 350,000 board feet per day which is enough to fill 12 truckloads. Rep. Boebert’s Active Forest Management, Wildfire Prevention and Community Protection Act will help ensure a reliable supply of timber while also greatly improving forest health and reducing carbon emissions. Reps. Boebert and Westerman heard from foresters, local elected officials, and other community representatives about different challenges in our forests that impact supply. Even though the company is doing well, they are still facing difficulties hiring enough qualified workers due to things like e… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:11:17Z

Lauren Boebert helped secure $11.6 million from the Department of Transportation in initial Emergency Relief for Federal-aid Highways to help reopen I-70 as quickly and as safely as possible. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “I applaud the Department of Transportation for quickly responding to our bipartisan request for $11.6 million in emergency relief to reopen I-70 as quickly and as safely as possible. This is a great first step, and we expect even more federal resources to be on the way in the near future to authorize getting I-70 reopened quickly and reimbursing Colorado for the significant expenditures involved with the mudslides that have closed this important federal interstate. I put Colorado first and will continue to work closely with CDOT, Governor Polis, and the entire delegation to reopen I-70.” Background: Recently, mudslides caused severe damage to I-70, the main corridor connecting Colorado’s Western Slope with the Front Range. Colorado Department of Transportation officials estimated that it would take several weeks to clear just one lane of traffic going each direction on the highway. The full support of the federal government is necessary to assist efforts to get I-70 reopened. On Saturday, Rep. Boebert joined the entire bipartisan and bicameral Colorado congressional delegation in sending a letter to the Department of Transportation requesting assistance from the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief Program to respond to the Glenwood Canyon mudslides that damaged Interstate 70. In response, the Department of Transportation granted 11.6 million in initial Emergency Relief for Federal-aid Highways to go to reopening I-70 and potentially could provide up to $116 million per the delegation and Governor’s request.

Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “I am grateful to all the contractors and CDOT employees who are working around the clock to reopen this critical artery for Western Colorado and the West. Having an opportunity to see this catastrophic disaster firsthand has reinforced the severity of this event and the need for long-term resiliency. I will continue leading the charge to get I-70 fully reopened while collaborating with regional stakeholders to find viable solutions moving forward.” Image Background: Rep. Boebert has been leading the charge to get I-70 reopened, following severe mudslide damage that forced the closure of this major interstate. All four lanes of traffic were covered by huge piles of debris, and some of the interstate’s concrete support structures appeared severely damaged. Additionally, the highway itself was damaged, and it will need extensive repairs. Image The Colorado Department of Transportation is confident that, with the support of federal resources, it will be able to have at least one lane of traffic going in each direction clear by this Saturday. However, it is likely to be several months before I-70 is fully repaired. On Saturday, Rep.

Lauren Boebert and the entire bicameral and bipartisan Colorado congressional delegation sent a letter to the Department of Transportation requesting assistance from the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief Program to respond to the Glenwood Canyon mudslides that damaged Interstate 70. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “After over a year of oppressive lockdowns, businesses and communities in Colorado are once again suffering, this time as a result of I-70’s closure from massive mudslides. I am working hard in conjunction with federal, state, and local government agencies to reopen I-70. I am proud that we have the support of Colorado’s entire bipartisan and bicameral delegation in seeking federal support to repair this federal interstate and get Colorado’s main east-west transportation corridor opened as quickly as possible.” Background: Yesterday, with the support of Governor Polis, Rep. Lauren Boebert released a draft of a letter to President Biden she is leading signed by all the members of Colorado’s delegation in the House of Representatives requesting that the President grant Governor Polis’ request for an emergency declaration under the Stafford Act. Rep. Boebert plans to send the bipartisan letter to President Biden supporting Governor Polis’ request for a Stafford Act emergency declaration after the Governor makes his official request. Rep. Boebert has been actively monitoring the I-70 mudslides, and she received a briefing from Governor Polis and the Colorado Department of Transportation on Monday. She pledged to offer her full support and to work to secure federal disaster assistance.

Lauren Boebert is actively working to reopen the Interstate-70 (I-70) corridor through Glenwood Canyon after severe mudslides and flash flooding blocked several portions of I-70, burying the road in as much as 10 feet of mud, tearing down retaining walls, and damaging the roadway. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “I-70 is a crucial economic artery for Colorado and the West, and on an average day, almost 5,000 semi-trucks carrying medicine, food, livestock, fuel, and other critical supplies travel on this federal highway. As one of only five key East-West Interstates in the Rocky Mountain region, it is of utmost importance to get I-70 back online as quickly as possible and end the supply chain problems and travel delays resulting from its closure. Tourism and businesses in the Third Congressional District are already starting to suffer from this disaster. It is critical to clear the catastrophic mudslides and make other necessary repairs as quickly as possible in order to get our state moving again. I will continue to work closely with CDOT, Governor Polis, and the entire bipartisan Colorado delegation to quickly repair and reopen I-70.” Background: Today, Colorado Governor Jared Polis issued a state disaster declaration in response to the damage from mudslides that have forced the I-70 corridor through Glenwood Canyon to close. The Governor is also preparing to request a federal disaster declaration under the Stafford Act and through the Federal Highway Administration which would provide Colorado with federal resources to respond to this natural disaster. Today, Rep. Boebert released a draft bipartisan letter she authored that is supported by Governor Polis and Colorado Representatives Ed Perlmutter, Jason Crow, Joe Neguse, Diana DeGette, Ken Buck, and Doug Lamborn.

Boebert led 6 additional members of Congress in sending a letter to Secretary Blinken condeming his invitation of UN bureaucrats to study systemic racism in the United States and advance their radical Critical Race Theory agenda. The letter is available here and below. We write to express serious concerns regarding the implications of your formal invitation for the United Nations Special Rapporteurs on contemporary forms of racism and minority issues to study “systemic racism” in the United States. We understand that this invitation could be the first step of a broader plan to invite all UN experts who report on human rights issues to investigate human rights abuses in the United States. Americans should be appalled by this nonsensical and hypocritical misuse of resources. We urge you to immediately rescind this invitation and further consider the consequences of the State Department conforming to the left’s ‘woke’ ideology, which serves only to further stoke racial division and ultimately threatens our national security. The United States is the freest and the most diverse country in the world. Founded on the basic notion that all people are created equal with certain unalienable rights; this belief is what makes America a beacon of liberty and justice around the world. It is by no chance that protesters around the world seeking to escape oppressive communist governments are waving American flags as a symbol of freedom. It is hypocritical and perplexing to see the State Department support the UN and its efforts to investigate “systemic racism” in the United States while it turns a blind eye and fails to bring attention to widespread violations of human rights across the globe. It is a farce that any UN body would have credibility to pass judgment on the United States while countries like China, Russia, Pakistan, and Cuba have seats at the table.

Lauren Boebert joined House Committee on Natural Resources Ranking Member Bruce Westerman, Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, Republican Whip Steve Scalise, and 71 additional members of Congress in a letter condemning Biden’s nomination of an eco-terrorist extremist to lead the Bureau of Land Management and asking for her nomination to be withdrawn. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Tracy Stone-Manning is a terrorist and her terrorist boobytraps still threaten the lives of foresters and firefighters to this day. She has never assisted investigators in locating or removing the 500 pounds of tree spikes she helped plant in the Clearwater National Forest. She is such a disaster that a Biden White House official called her nomination ‘a massive vetting failure’ and Obama’s former director of the Bureau of Land Management condemned her nomination. Stone-Manning’s extremist anti-government, pro-population control, anti-law enforcement, pro-wildfire, tree-worshipping, anti-farmer, and anti-responsible energy views are more than enough to disqualify any nominee, but her involvement in an eco-terrorist tree spiking attack—threatening the lives of wildland firefighters, loggers, and mill workers—is beyond the pale. More information and lies continue to come out by the day about Stone-Manning’s extremist activities. She belongs in federal prison, not in the director’s office of a federal agency. If the Biden regime is serious about rooting out domestic terrorism, it needs to start with pulling Stone-Manning’s nomination. If Colorado Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper decide to vote for Stone-Manning again anyway, they should at least ensure that Colorado scores a win by securing a commitment from the Biden administration to keep the Bureau of Land Management headquarters in Grand Junction prior to casting cloture and final confirmation votes in her favor.” Background: Tracy Stone-Manning is a radicalized environmental terrorist whose repugnant philosophy includes tenets such as: “we must breed fewer consuming humans,” child… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z

Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “The most frustrating part about the drought crisis is that there are bipartisan actions we can take to reduce its severity. Unfortunately, Democrats are too focused on uprooting the entire country with their Green New Deal policies to work on commonsense solutions that help rural communities. To date, all we’ve got to address the drought crisis from the Biden regime is talking points with no real substance. While dam-busting Democrats are focusing on destroying water storage projects, I’m busy working on real solutions that put rural communities first.” Background: Rep. Boebert has made drought and water issues a priority. She introduced the Western Water Security Act, which prohibits federal water grabs, protects private property rights, and helps ensure an abundant supply of clean water for future generations. Rep. Boebert’s H.R. 1679 protects tribal groups, farmers, ranchers, agricultural districts, towns, small businesses, and other water users who rely on privately held water rights that have been put in jeopardy by the federal government. Similarly, joined 126 other Members of Congress in sending a letter opposing the Biden administration’s plan to return the definition of “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) to Obama-era regulations, which would adversely affect thousands of American citizens. The 2015 WOTUS rule, issued by the Obama administration, was a massive land and water grab, attempting to assert Clean Water Act and federal jurisdiction over regions with even the most tenuous link to water resources.

Rep. Boebert stated: “If the junior senator from Michigan can hold up eight Department of Defense nominations to secure a victory for his state, then one of Colorado’s two U.S. Senators can hold up the BLM Director nomination to secure a victory for Colorado. Senators Hickenlooper and Bennet have the power to stand up for Colorado and leverage the Biden administration into keeping the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters and existing personnel spots in Grand Junction. I’ve appreciated their efforts and working with them on this bicameral and bipartisan effort. But based on comments from Secretary Halaand last week, the fate of the Bureau of Land Management headquarters in Colorado now rests on the shoulders of John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet. My hope is they will put Colorado first.” Rep. Lamborn stated: “Before confirming any director, we must have assurances from the Biden Administration that they will keep the Bureau of Land Management in Grand Junction, where they can better serve the communities they support. Land management decisions are best made by the people who have an innate understanding of the issues that affect these communities.” Rep. Buck stated: “There is bipartisan agreement in Colorado’s congressional delegation that the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters should stay in Grand Junction. Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper have been strong advocates for this, and I hope they place a hold on Stone-Manning’s nomination in order to keep the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters there.” Background: Rep.

Boebert, joined a bipartisan roundtable with local stakeholders, Governor Jared Polis, Congressman Joe Neguse, and Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper to advocate that Interior Secretary Haaland listen to Western stakeholders and keep the Bureau of Land Management headquarters in Grand Junction. Rep. Boebert stated: I was honored to welcome Secretary Haaland to Colorado’s Third Congressional District and was pleased she accepted my invitation to visit the Bureau of Land Management headquarters in Grand Junction. We also discussed the urgent need to address growing forest fires through active management and effective suppression. Community stakeholders made a great case for keeping the Bureau’s headquarters in Grand Junction and for doing more to combat catastrophic wildfires before they get started. I couldn’t be more proud. I hope she listens to the ranchers, county commissioners, sheriffs, farmers, hunters, hikers, off-roaders, and other outdoor recreation enthusiasts who have benefited from the agency’s move West. Westerners deserve a voice in the land-use decisions that affect their daily lives, and it would be wrong to move the Bureau back to a faceless marble building in D.C. Since 99% of the lands that the Bureau manages are West of the Mississippi, it only makes sense to keep the agency located near the communities it serves. While some have tried to politicize the Bureau’s move to Grand Junction because they detest anything associated with the previous administration, the facts are clear: moving the headquarters to this great community has always had broad bipartisan and bicameral support.” Ranking Member of the House Committee on Natural Resources, Congressman Bruce Westerman stated: “Government agencies exist to serve the American people and need to be constantly engaged with the communities under their jurisdiction. Moving BLM headquarters out West was a strategic choice, allowing them to better interact with the people they represent.

The letter seeks information from the Justice Department first requested by Senators Cruz, Johnson, Lee and Tuberville back in June 2021. Rep. Boebert stated: “The foundation of our criminal justice system requires that all defendants are treated equally before the law, but the Biden regime is not living up to this solemn obligation. Reports are circulating that the Biden regime has held January 6th rioters in solitary confinement, while at the same time, they are letting BLM rioters that attacked federal buildings off with just a few hours of community service. This is not an equal standard of justice. I condemn all forms of political violence, and all political violence must be prosecuted fairly.” Background: The Department of Justice is using aggressive tactics to prosecute the January 6th riot, but it has not done the same for the BLM riots during the spring and summer of 2020 where one federal officer was killed and over 700 federal and local officers were injured. To prosecute the January 6th rioters, the DOJ has seized personal geolocation data, arrested accused rioters with SWAT teams, and placed alleged rioters in solitary confinement. Rep. Boebert’s letter asks whether similar resources were used to prosecute the rampant violence and unrest present throughout the spring and summer of 2020. The full text of the letter is available here and below: Our colleagues in the Senate wrote to you June 7, 2021, expressing concerns about the potential unequal administration of justice with respect to instances of mass unrest, property destruction, and loss of life across our country.

Lauren Boebert (CO-03) spoke at a press conference introducing Rep. Claudia Tenney’s End Zuckerbucks Act to restore election security and increase Americans’ confidence in the electoral process. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Zuckerbucks are screwing with our elections by funneling private dollars in a partisan way to government agencies. You want to know why many from across the country have serious questions about the integrity of our elections? It starts with shady crap like this, where billionaires funnel money through nonprofits to Democrat areas to influence election results. From banning the sitting President of the United States to censoring private citizens and from promoting conspiracies to suppressing the truth, Facebook is attacking the heart of our constitutional republic.” Background: Rep. Boebert co-sponsored the End Zuckerbucks Act to stand up for election security and restore faith in our electoral process. The End Zuckerbucks Act (H.R. 4290), co-sponsored by Rep. Boebert, would amend the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations from providing direct funding to official election organizations. Additional Background Courtesy of Rep. Claudia Tenney During the 2020 Election, Mark Zuckerberg poured $350 million into the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a left-leaning non-profit run by former Obama staffers. CTCL then funneled this money directly to Boards of Elections, completely bypassing any accountability or oversight from state legislatures or local governments.

Lauren Boebert led 16 of her colleagues in introducing the Active Forest Management, Wildfire Prevention and Community Protection Act, to improve the health of our nation’s forests, remove bark beetle-killed trees, protect property, stop frivolous litigation, and prevent catastrophic wildfires. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “44 large wildfires are currently burning more than 660,000 acres because of decades of poor forest management, radical environmental lawsuits, federal bureaucracy, and an emphasis on funding for suppression as opposed to active management. I introduced the strongest forestry bill in decades, and my Active Forest Management, Wildfire Prevention and Community Protection Act will fully fund the removal of trees killed by bark beetles, reform costly litigation processes used by radical enviros to halt responsible forest thinning, and assist rural communities by ensuring 25% of the revenues from logging in National Forests stay on the ground in counties that actively maintain their forests. This bill is fully paid for and will bring in billions for the U.S. Treasury. Instead of pandering to radical enviros, my bill puts rural communities first.” Chairman of the Western Caucus Dan Newhouse said, “I am deeply concerned about the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires in the Pacific Northwest and across the rural West. As Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus, I am committed to addressing this issue and am proud to stand with Rep. Boebert in support of this common-sense legislation. Allowing for active forest management will help prevent catastrophic wildfires, protect our local communities, and improve the health of our nation’s forests.” Representative John Carter stated: “Unfortunately, the country has witnessed the insurmountable devastation caused by wildfires across the nation, but with a more proactive approach, we can greatly reduce these catastrophes. I’m proud to join Representative Boebert on the Active Forest Management, Wildfire Prevention and Community Protec… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z

Lauren Boebert joined Congresswoman Yvette Herrell and 13 other members of Congress in calling on Senator Joe Manchin to halt the confirmation of ecoterrorist Ms. Tracy Stone-Manning as the Director of the Bureau of Land Management. Rep. Boebert stated: “Joe Biden should pull his nomination of a proven ecoterrorist to lead the Bureau of Land Management. Tracy Stone-Manning is a radicalized extremist who believes that babies are a cancer to the earth, that ranchers are destroying the West, that land management decisions are best made by bureaucrats in D.C., and that using violent tactics like tree spiking is justified in the name of environmentalism. Her criminal involvement in ecoterrorist activities is so extreme that even Obama’s Bureau of Land Management director called on Biden to withdraw her nomination. America does not negotiate with terrorists, and it certainly shouldn’t appoint one to lead a federal agency.” Background: In May, Stone-Manning lied to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and stated that she had never been arrested, charged, or been the target of a criminal investigation. This is a blatant lie. In 1989, Stone-Manning was the target of a federal grand jury investigation into ecoterrorist activity that included deadly tree spiking in Clearwater National Forest. In 1993, Stone-Manning testified that she sent a threatening letter to the U.S. Forest Service regarding the tree spiking, stating: “This letter is being sent to notify you that the Post Office Sale has been spiked heavily. The reasoning for this action is that this piece of land is very special to the earth. The sales were marked so that no workers would be injured and so that you assholes know they are spiked. You bastards go in there anyway and a lot of people could get hurt.” In exchange for testifying in the 1993 case, federal law enforcement agents granted Stone-Manning immunity, so we will never know just how involved she was in this ecoterrorist activity, but one thing is clear—she unequivocally threat… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

Rep. Boebert stated: “I ran with the promise that the forgotten men and women of rural Colorado would be forgotten no more, and I fight every single day for the people who hired me to be their voice. I questioned Interior Secretary Deb Haaland on ways we can partner to move forward water storage projects and to ensure Coloradans are capturing more water to which we are entitled and made a strong case for keeping the Bureau of Land Management headquarters in Grand Junction. I secured a commitment from USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack to look into allowing farmers to receive insurance claims for crops lost to drought. I discussed active forest management policies to prevent catastrophic wildfires with U.S. Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen. Finally, I made the case to Vice Admiral Ronald Boxall for keeping the U.S. Space Command in Colorado. I have put Colorado first from the day I took my oath, and that won’t ever change.” Background: Questioning Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland About the Drought and the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters in Grand Junction at a Natural Resources Hearing Drought and wildfires are some of the biggest issues facing rural Colorado, so Rep. Boebert expressed her concern to Secretary Haaland that President Biden’s Department of the Interior budget proposal did not include funding for water storage projects that can help mitigate the crippling effects of the drought. Rep. Boebert secured a commitment from Secretary Haaland that the Department of the Interior will consider additional water storage as a tool, and Rep. Boebert looks forward to working with the Department as these projects are developed. Additionally, Rep.

Lauren Boebert joined House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, House Committee on Natural Resources Ranking Member Bruce Westerman, and 35 other Members of Congress in sending a letter to Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland condemning the administration’s moratorium on onshore and offshore energy leases. Rep. Boebert stated: “President Biden should have never implemented his illegal energy leasing moratorium to begin with. Arbitrarily punishing reliable energy workers to appease the Green New Deal radical leftists in his party is not only bad policy, it’s wrong. I will hold the Biden regime accountable for following the Court’s order, and I won’t let them off the hook for this disastrous violation of the Mineral Leasing Act.” Background: Rep. Boebert has opposed Biden’s energy leasing moratorium from the beginning, and she introduced the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act to nullify President Biden’s job-killing executive orders, including his moratorium on energy leasing. The full text of the letter is available here and below: On June 15, 2021, the United States District Court Western District of Louisiana, Lake Charles Division, issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against President Biden’s Executive Order 14008, Section 208 (EO), that mandated a “pause” on new oil and gas leasing on both federal offshore and onshore lands. Through the preliminary injunction, the Court acknowledged the injury caused by the “pause,” noting millions of dollars at stake. Additionally, the Court’s decision indicates the strong likelihood the states will succeed in their challenge against the Biden Administration.We look forward to the Department of the Interior’s (the Department) resumption of lease sales, in compliance with the Court’s order. We remain concerned, however, about the harms already caused by the mandated “pause.” For example, immediate impacts of the EO’s “pause” included cancellation of Gulf of Mexico Oil and Gas Lease Sale 257, Planned Lease Sales 259 … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

Rep. Boebert stated: “It’s no surprise that Joe Biden’s EPA is trying to expand the federal government’s jurisdiction and regulate every aspect of our lives. It’s sad to see that radical enviro policies have already overtaken the executive branch and that Biden is sparing no time restoring the damaging 2015 WOTUS rule, threatening property rights and water rights for communities across the nation. Rural Colorado runs on water rights, and Biden’s unconstitutional WOTUS regulation will harm our way of life.” Background: The Obama administration’s 2015 WOTUS rule was a land and water grab that sought to assert Clean Water Act and federal jurisdiction over areas with even the slightest connection to water resources. The Trump administration passed the Navigable Waters Protection Rule to provide much-needed clarity to the WOTUS rule and protect small business, property owners, farmers, and other stakeholders from federal overreaches. Rep. Boebert fears that the Biden administration’s word games with WOTUS will usher in another massive federal overreach like we saw with Obama’s 2015 WOTUS rule. Previously, Rep. Boebert introduced the Western Water Security Act to protect rural Colorado from federal water and land grabs and ensure an abundant supply of clean water for future generations.

Representative Boebert stated: “My censure bill holds President Biden accountable for his actions—or lack thereof—at the border. Biden has refused to enforce the laws securing our border, he has refused to visit our border, his border czar Kamala has refused to visit the border, and his Secretary of Homeland Security is lying to the American people by saying that our border is closed. Not only has Biden done nothing to secure the border, he has actively made it worse by implementing policies that incentivize illegal immigration like amnesty, catch and release, and abolishing the remain in Mexico policy. The result of Biden’s mismanagement is staggering, and the numbers speak for themselves.” Congressman Andy Biggs said: “The Biden Administration is a complete disaster. President Biden and Vice President Harris have sent an unequivocal message that they prefer illegal immigrants over Americans. Their radical agenda has erased our southern border. Americans suffer from the Biden policy which has encouraged more than one million illegal border crossings this year which has produced increased human, sex, and drug trafficking. The American people condemn the Biden Administration’s dereliction of duty.” Congressman Barry Moore stated: “Ensuring the integrity of our borders is one of the most fundamental duties of a president, yet President Biden has destroyed four years of progress at the border to satisfy far-left activists and cheap labor-loving globalists. His reckless determination to reverse every Trump administration policy regardless of the outcome has put every American family and our economy at risk. We must hold President Biden to account for putting politics over the people he has sworn an oath to protect.” Congressman H. Morgan Griffith said: “The heightened crisis at the southern border is almost entirely one of Presi… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) voted in favor of the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act (S. 475), because she supports recognizing and celebrating the end of slavery in America. Rep.

This is something all Americans should embrace and support.” Background: The Senate passed S. 475, the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act on June 15, 2021 by unanimous consent. The House voted on the bill on June 16, 2021, and it passed by a vote of 415-14. While Rep.

Lauren Boebert opposes the CORE Act, since it is a 400,000 acre land grab and closes off 73,000 acres of land for most forms of outdoor recreation. Rep. Boebert stated: “The CORE Act is a partisan land-grab promoted by big-city Democrats who aren’t affected by the land-use bureaucracy that they are shoving down rural Colorado’s throat. Despite roughly 65% of the lands affected by this bill being in my district, I was never consulted on this bill, and common-sense changes proposed by Senator Gardner last Congress were also not incorporated. While locking up land may sound good to the swamp, it doesn’t work for the people who actually live there.” Background: Rep. Boebert has vocally defended her District from Democrat land-grabs and testified before the House Rules Committee, but the land-grabs keep coming. The CORE Act creates new land restrictions on roughly 400,000 acres in Colorado. Despite being marketed as a recreation bill, the CORE Act designates more than 73,000 acres as wilderness which will severely prevent most forms of outdoor recreation. The CORE Act includes withdrawing 200,000 acres in the Thompson Divide from oil and gas development. This withdrawal is a solution in search of a problem since the area of controversy is already administratively withdrawn. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stood up for farmers and ranchers by co-sponsoring Reps. Chellie Pingree and Thomas Massie’s bipartisan PRIME (Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption) Act. Rep. Boebert stated: “Colorado’s Third Congressional District is home to the best farmers and ranchers in the country, and I am honored to work hard for them as they work hard for us every single day. I'm proud to co-sponsor the PRIME Act to give farmers and ranchers more freedom and less government.” Background: The agricultural supply chain’s recent problems demonstrated that solely relying on a small number of large industrial meat processors is a recipe for disaster. Our national food security was threatened as farmers and ranchers were forced to euthanize millions of pigs, chickens, and cattle during pandemic lockdowns. Additionally, a recent hack shut down JBS’ meat processing facilities—wiping out a quarter of the American beef supply. Food security is national security. These recent crises underscored the need for farmers and ranchers to have more options and freedom to distribute their livestock to a diverse and competitive marketplace. Current law already exempts custom butchering from federal inspection regulations, but only for meat going to personal, household, or employee use. This hurts local farmers and ranchers, since sometimes the nearest USDA-inspected processing facility is hundreds of miles away. The PRIME Act would allow small farms to thrive and support local foods by expanding the current exemption. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

She represents the worst of the entrenched swamp creatures who waste taxpayer money on partisan crusades and endless investigations. Luckily, the House Committee on Ethics saw through Rep.

On April 16, 2021, Rep. Boebert prepared a thorough response for the House Committee on Ethics with documented proof that Rep.

"The constant theme I hear from employers in the Third District is that they can’t fill job openings because of excessive unemployment compensation and bonuses. At one point, more than two-thirds of people on jobless benefits were making more from unemployment checks than they did when they were employed," stated Representative Boebert. "Unemployment insurance benefits are temporary assistance for people that have lost their jobs and are actively seeking another job. They were never meant to permanently replace work. There are 8.1 million jobs open today. We have to stop paying people that should be working to sit at home on the couch. It’s well past time for the government to end COVID bonuses and stop disincentivizing work." "We must get Coloradans back to work. I am extremely concerned that what was meant to be a temporary supplemental to help Americans through forced lockdowns has now been weaponized by Democrats in an attempt to raise the minimum wage," said Congressman Lamborn. "The policies of the Biden Administration are incentivizing individuals from returning to work and are harming small businesses throughout the Fifth Congressional District. Governor Polis must reject the expanded unemployment insurance." “Last month we hit the highest level of open jobs in the past 20 years, with 9.3 million jobs open nationwide and 9.8 million unemployed Americans. Shutting down businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic devastated our economy and hurt American businesses and workers," said Representative Buck. "Millions of people lost their job during the pandemic, but there are now plenty of opportunities available. It’s time to end the $300 weekly enhancement to unemployment benefits and get America back to work.” Background: 25 states have rejected the weekly $300 federal unemployment supplemental, including Colorado's neighb… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Democrats want to teach our children to hate each other. This radical critical race theory brings division, not unity, it advances hate, not love, and puts a person’s skin as more important than the content of their character. If we do not stop teaching critical race theory, then in the words of Ronald Reagan, ‘we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men and women were free.’” Background: Critical race theory argues that the United States is inherently racist. It pushes the idea that American institutions like the Constitution and Bill of Rights are remnants of white supremacy, male hegemony, and capitalist exploitation rather than guardians of freedom. It teaches that the foundation of America must be undone in order to achieve a just society. The theory seeks to use race as a lens through which all areas of American life are to be questioned under, classifying people into oppressors and victims. Its ideology has spread from government to school campuses—contaminating and corrupting our country and our youths’ education. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

Representative Lauren Boebert stated: “Kamala Harris was appointed border czar over 75 days ago, but she hasn’t visited the border, so I brought her along to look at what she’s done. Instead of traveling to Guatemala to find the root cause of the border crisis, Kamala could have just walked down the hall to the Oval Office—he’s sitting right there. It’s time for Kamala to do her job, visit the border, and stop this man-made crisis.” Background: In the first few days of his presidency, Joe Biden created a humanitarian crisis at the southern border. Even the President of Guatemala blames the Biden/Harris regime for the border crisis and stated coyotes were there recruiting illegal aliens to traffic to America the day after they put out their open borders welcome message. The numbers speak for themselves: Exactly one year before my visit to the border, there were 1,400 unaccompanied minors in HHS custody—now there are 22,000. In President Trump’s last month in office, CBP encountered 78,443 illegal immigrants—in April, they encountered a record high of over 178,000. In President Trump’s last full month in office, CBP released 18 illegal immigrants into the United States with a Notice to Appear at immigration court—in April, the Biden administration released 26,233 illegal aliens into communities across the United States. In President Trump’s last full year in office, 458,000 illegal aliens were encountered at the border—in just the first four months of Biden’s term, almost 750,000 illegal aliens were caught sneaking across the border. In President Trump’s last full year in office, 4,776 pounds of fentanyl were seized by CBP—in just the first four months of Biden’s term, CBP seized almost 6,500 pounds. Without the work of our brave men and women of Border Patrol, enough fentanyl to kill every American four times over would have been allowed into the United States under Bi… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “At the last hearing she testified at, I called out Ms. Elizabeth Klein for spending the last few years infiltrating state attorneys general offices with partisan hacks funded by Michael Bloomberg and now infiltrating the federal government by spewing Bloomberg’s propaganda as Senior Counselor to the Secretary of the Interior. She agreed that she would provide me a copy of her ethics recusals, but I haven’t seen it yet. Ms. Klein should be recused from all of her conflicts of interest, but there are so many, that she should be recused from public service. She does not work on behalf of the American people—she works on behalf of Michael Bloomberg.” Background: At a hearing last week, Rep. Boebert grilled Ms. Klein on her ethical conflicts of interest and secured a commitment from Ms. Klein to provide the House Committee on Natural Resources her recusal list. As of the date of the letter, Ms. Klein and the Department of the Interior have not complied with the Committee’s request to receive the recusal list, and this letter demands it by no later than 5:00 p.m. on June 4th. Senior federal employees are required to be transparent in their ethical obligations and act impartially, placing their sole loyalty to the Constitution and the laws of the United States. Ms. Klein’s history of infiltrating state governments with Michael Bloomberg minions and supporting lawsuits against the federal government makes it impossible for her to meet the ethical obligations that her position of public trust requires. As Deputy Director at the New York University School of Law’s State Energy & Environmental Impact Center (SEEIC), she controversially placed and paid the salari… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z

Congressman Lauren Boebert stated: “Serving at the highest levels of federal agencies is no place for a partisan hack that is compromised by special-interests. Her conflicts of interest were so severe that Senator Manchin blocked Ms. Klein from being the Deputy Secretary of Interior. Klein spent more than three years funneling money from Michael Bloomberg to sue the Trump Administration and pay for his Green New Deal lawyers that she placed in attorney general offices across the country. I look forward to receiving the detailed recusal list she promised to share at today’s hearing. Given her myriad of federal lawsuits and conflicts on state matters there should be little to nothing that Liz Klein is allowed to work on at the Department. In fact, her ethical problems are so egregious that she should be recused from all matters working on behalf of the American people.” Image Watch the full cross-examination HERE. Background: Democrats invited Ms. Elizabeth Klein to testify at a committee hearing on combatting western drought, even though she spent the last few years trying to tear down dams and destroy water storage projects as the Deputy Director of the Michael Bloomberg-funded State Energy & Environmental Impact Center at NYU School of Law (SEEIC). Only Democrats would believe that someone who actively works to destroy water storage projects is the right person to testify on combatting western drought. Instead of letting this partisan ramble on with false promises to support western communities, Rep. Boebert shut down her hypocrisy and called out her egregious ethics challenges. Most recently, Ms. Klein was the Deputy Director at SEEIC, where she worked to filed litigation in order to advance radical Green New Deal policies.

Congressman Boebert stated: “A coalition of community organizations and Colorado agencies came together to raise $1.8 million and build the San Luis Valley Radar in order to improve weather data to predict high mountain storms. Unfortunately, bureaucratic delays have prevented this important information from being utilized for over a year. The people in the San Luis Valley deserve to have accurate storm forecasting that will improve local economies and potentially save lives.” Colorado State Senator Cleve Simpson stated: “Given the historical lack of abundant, accurate meteorological information here in the San Luis Valley, literally a black hole on radar screens, it was such a great pleasure to work with a variety of stakeholders to come together with a plan and the funding to make such a significant upgrade in our circumstances. I can’t overemphasize the value this project and the data it produces can have on our community, northern New Mexico, southern Colorado and the entire state. Let’s make sure the entities that can and should be utilizing the system are taking full advantage of it.” Alamosa County Chairman of the Board Michael Yohn stated: “The radar has been operational for over a year. We welcome the day when our community and all our visitors will benefit from the full integration of the radar system with the rest of the state and nation for accurate radar forecasting.” Conejos Water Conservancy District General Manager Nathan Coombs stated: “The San Luis Valley Radar is essential to the advancement of rural living conditions in Colorado.

Representative Lauren Boebert stated: “Environmental extremists and Washington bureaucrats are “waterboarding” the West with burdensome regulations and halting effective water storage projects. Instead of working for solutions to deliver water to western communities, they are drowning us with litigation and red tape. The most frustrating part about the drought crisis is that there are common sense solutions for it, but Democrats would rather focus on uprooting the entire country with their Green New Deal policies.” Background: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its U.S. Spring Outlook and predicted the most significant spring drought since 2013, impacting 74 million people. Almost the entirety of Colorado’s Third Congressional District is in danger of experiencing “exceptional drought,” and Rep. Boebert is working hard to create solutions by decreasing bureaucracy, getting rid of radical environmental water policies, and creating new water storage projects. Unfortunately, instead of working towards effective scientific solutions, Democrats would rather sit back and play the blame game, accusing climate change of creating the drought crisis. Instead of trying to make it better, they are making it worse. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:49:40Z

Rep. Boebert stated: “The left’s war against fossil fuels is unceasing. Democrats will do anything to pursue their radical Green New Deal policies, including destroying American energy jobs, decimating rural communities, and taking away reliable energy. Their policies are immorally hurting Americans in pursuit of their radical environmental agenda that doesn’t help anyone.” Alex Epstein stated: “The whole administration and Congress [is] dead set on eliminating the oil and gas industry…this is a total, I’d call it a fantasy, but this fantasy is being used to oppress us."

Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stood up for American mines and against child labor at a Natural Resources Committee forum on critical minerals and supply chains. Rep. Boebert stated: “By advancing their radical Green New Deal policies, Democrats are waging war against American mining jobs and enabling child and slave labor in the Congo. I am sick of seeing woke corporations like Apple and Microsoft virtue signal by lobbying for policies that destroy American jobs and then turn around and purchase minerals that are stained by the blood of children working in unsafe conditions in third world countries.” See Rep. Boebert’s statement HERE. Image Background: Nearly 40,000 children are estimated to be mining cobalt with their bare hands in the Democratic Republic of the Congo right now. Working in such unsafe conditions, they are no strangers to tragedy. In September of 2019, 50 miners in the Congo lost their lives and drowned to death after a heavy rain filled their mineshaft. The cobalt that they mine is sold to Chinese companies who then sell it to big tech companies to produce phones, laptops, and televisions. If we implement the radical Green New Deal, the International Energy Agency estimates that production of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other critical minerals must increase by 3000% by 2040. Instead of supporting environmentally responsible and safe domestic mining, Democrats and “not in my backyard” extremists would rather outsource our critical minerals to unsafe mines in China and the Congo. Democrats claim that their radical environmental policies support human rights and work for “climate justice,” but in reality, they support the evil practice of child labor, environmental degradation, and human suffering in third world countries. The Green New Deal’s inconsistent goals of switching over everything to electricity while also banning domestic mining of critical minerals is unsustainable, irresponsible, and unethical. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:49:40Z

Representative Lauren Boebert stated: “Joe Biden can give it a fake name and try to disguise its identity but moving forward with the 30 x 30 program is another radical pander to Green New Deal activists and extremist enviros funded by George Soros that believe the federal government should control every aspect of our daily lives, including our land. The Biden administration has made clear they will ignore the input of opposing counties when adding more federal land to the rolls and that they believe grazing, responsible energy production and other land uses that contain emissions should be prevented on federal lands. Locking up 30% of all our land and water within the next decade is a dream killer for future generations and local economies and will also prevent Americans from utilizing their public lands and enjoying the outdoors. In the West, we are all too familiar with government land grabs, and we can see this one coming from a mile away. I’m honored to have so much support from Americans throughout the country for my bill that seeks to block the 30 x 30 program and prevent this government expansion.” Background: Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) introduced the 30 x 30 Termination Act to block the radical 30 x 30 program being pursued by the Biden administration that seeks to lock up at least 30% of all lands and waters in the U.S. by 2030. Yesterday, the Biden administration released a report that was all fluff and no substance but made clear the administration is moving forward with this dangerous land grab put forth by extremist environmentalist groups.

Representative Boebert stated: “I am proud to put people above politics by getting two bipartisan amendments to H.R. 1506 through the Natural Resources Committee. These amendments will help the people in my District by requiring the government to study the risk that wildfires pose to critical energy infrastructure and note the harmful environmental impacts of shifting over to renewable energy too quickly. These amendments are steps in the right direction for energy independence and for active forest management based on scientific wildfire mitigation strategies.” Background Amendment 1 – Environmental Review of Renewable Energy Disposal Rep. Boebert’s first amendment to H.R. 1506 would require the government to study “the environmental impacts of the decommissioning and disposal of renewable energy products and electronic waste, including batteries, solar panels, and products that have exceeded their life cycle.” Wind turbines and solar panels only have a lifespan of about 10 to 25 years, and once they break down, their disposal process is harmful to the environment. For example, one of the “solutions” to dispose of windmills is to burry them in abandoned coal mines—not exactly a sustainable and environmentally friendly practice. Additionally, after solar panels are disposed of, they leak lead and carcinogenic cadmium into the soil. Both wind and solar power depend on battery storage since they are not consistent producers of energy. The extensive lithium mining necessary to produce batteries is harmful for the environment and pollutes millions of gallons of water per year. Rep. Boebert’s bipartisan amendment directs the Department of the Interior to do more research on renewable energy decommissioning and disposal before diving headfirst into radical Green New Deal policies that would decimate our energy industry.

Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “President Biden calls everything under the sun infrastructure, but only 6% of his $2.3 trillion so-called infrastructure plan goes to roads and bridges. The rest goes to climate change, increasing government bureaucracy, and unrelated liberal wish-list items. I introduced the AIM Act to offer a targeted, efficient infrastructure plan that works for America. The AIM Act would reallocate $650 billion of the remaining $2.2 trillion of unspent COVID funds to fund roads, bridges, airports, ports, and other real infrastructure projects. There is no reason to increase taxes and waste trillions of dollars on a leftist slush fund when we have the ability to deliver real infrastructure results for the American people without raising their taxes.” Background On March 31st, President Biden proposed a $2.3 trillion dollar plan marketed as an overhaul of America’s infrastructure. Sadly, as the details emerged, it was clear this plan, much like the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package, was a trojan horse for Democrat spending, even including $50 billion for a new office for the U.S. Department of Commerce and $10 billion for a proposed “Civilian Climate Corps.” The AIM Act is a fiscally responsible alternative to the Biden administration’s tax hike disguised as an infrastructure plan. The bill addresses America’s infrastructure needs while limiting the wasteful spending of unrelated so-called “social infrastructure” items. The AIM Act repurposes $650 billion in unobligated funds from the six enacted COVID relief bills and puts the money towards real infrastructure.

With President Trump, we saw real leadership, but President Biden didn’t talk about the things that the American people needed him to address. He didn’t mention the crisis he created at the southern border, the skyrocketing gas prices, the staggering unemployment rate, or the violence and rioting exploding across our Nation. Instead, we heard empty platitudes: Biden calling for unity while spewing hateful, partisan rhetoric. His speech trampled the Constitution, dismissed our God-given rights, and proposed plans for six trillion in additional spending. He is not the voice of a moderate.

Representative Lauren Boebert stated: “While Washington sleeps, I’m coming up with real solutions. This Act will help counties with significant amounts of non-taxable federal lands. While important to rural communities in Colorado’s Third District, PILT payments are a fraction of the dollars counties would receive if they were able to put these lands to productive private use. The federal government either needs to give the people back our land or compensate us appropriately for the tax base lost to federal lands.” Background: The federal government owns 28 percent of all land in the United States comprising some 640 million acres, and 62 percent of all counties have non-taxable federal land within their boundaries. Numerous counties with high percentages of public lands within their jurisdiction struggle to fund essential services due to the tax revenue lost by tax-exempt federal lands. The Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program provides payments to counties and other local governments to offset losses in tax revenues due to the significant presence of federal land within their jurisdictions. Currently, the Department of the Interior makes PILT payments to more than 1,850 counties in 49 states. These payments provide critical revenue for local governments to carry out vital services including firefighting, road and bridge maintenance, education, school construction, law enforcement, search and-rescue operation, emergency medical care, and solid waste disposal. While the PILT program is a good start, the average per-acre value from the payments is only a fraction of the amount of revenues that would be generated for states and counties if value… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z

Boebert’s H.R. 859, the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act, can receive a vote. Representative Lauren Boebert stated: “President Biden took away the American people’s voice when—with the stroke of a pen—he unilaterally locked-up our federal lands and targeted our energy jobs. Now, Speaker Pelosi is continuing to silence Americans by refusing to bring my bill, the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act, to the House Floor for a vote. This discharge position changes that, and it would require Members of Congress to have an accountable vote on the record for where they stand on Biden’s job-killing Green New Deal executive orders.” Congressman Chip Roy stated: “The Biden Administration is willing to sacrifice millions of oil and gas jobs, hike up energy costs, and destroy our energy independence all to appease Green-New-Deal-loving radicals. It’s time that Congress put a stop to his unilateral economic destruction and put the American people first. After all House Republicans have signed on to this effort, I look forward to seeing how many of my Democratic colleagues are willing to protect American jobs and energy security.” Watch Reps. Boebert and Roy's video statement HERE. Background: Biden’s energy executive orders are killing our economy and hurting families across the country. Colorado lost 9,000 jobs in the oil and natural gas industry this past year, and economists project that 201,144 jobs will be lost if we keep President Biden’s executive orders in place for 20 years. By the end of his first term, Colorado will lose 16,000 jobs if Congress doesn’t stand up and put a halt to these disastrous policies. Once these jobs are lost, they aren’t coming back.

The Complaint makes the baseless claim that I violated House Rule XXIII, clause 1. I swore an oath to uphold and defend the United States Constitution. Our Constitution is the cornerstone of our Republic and I strive every day to uphold my promise. My objections to the counting of Electoral College votes in Arizona and Pennsylvania were based on the Constitution and changes to state law that were not made by the state legislature, not election fraud. Similar objections have been made related to previous elections, including in 2001, 2005, and 2017, all by Democrats. (See examples attached as Exhibit A). I have publicly condemned the violence that occurred on January 6, 2021, and I firmly support the rule of law. I strive to behave at all times in a manner that reflects creditably on the House of Representatives and that represents the people of Colorado’s Third Congressio… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z

Boebert Fights to Restore Silver Cliff, CO’s Unique ZIP Code 2021-04-15 2021 2021-04 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Lauren Boebert (CO-03) introduced a bill to restore Silver Cliff, Colorado's unique ZIP Code, 81249. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Rural communities deserve an identity, their fair share of sales tax revenue, and consistent mail service—just like everyone else. Silver Cliff used to have its own ZIP Code, but then it got taken away, and that has cost the community an estimated $500,000 in tax revenue, eroded its local identity, and damaged quality postal service. It’s not fair for rural communities to be left behind, and it is time to right this wrong.” Silver Cliff Mayor Buck Wenzel stated: “This bill would restore the Town of Silver Cliff’s rightful identity and will guarantee that sales tax is properly distributed and received by our town and not by others. The citizens of Silver Cliff deserve for their taxes to be spent on the roads and other necessities that they use on a daily basis.” Westcliffe Mayor Paul Wenke stated: “I think it is important that tax revenue flow where it is supposed to. I support the measure.” Background: Custer County, Colorado currently consists of two ZIP Codes, 81252 and 81253. Formerly, there was a third—Silver Cliff’s 81249—but in 1991, Silver Cliff lost its unique ZIP Code and was absorbed into Westcliffe’s. Silver Cliff’s unique ZIP Code should be reinstated for the following reasons: Identity – Silver Cliff is an incorporated town under the State of Colorado, and it should be recognized as such. Additionally, Silver Cliff is expecting 100 new homes to be developed this year. Sales Tax – According to Silver Cliff Mayor Buck Wenzel, the ZIP Code issue caused the community to lose an estimated $500,000 in sales tax revenue over the last 30 years, since Colorado administers sales tax distributions through ZIP Code allocation. Since Silver Cliff is incorporated within Westcliffe’s ZIP Code and neither town has a sales tax distribution agreement, Silver Cliff does not receive its rightful sales tax revenue. Efficiency – Although trivial… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z

Rep Boebert (CO-03) stated: “The Bureau of Land Management’s successful move West would not have happened without the efforts of so many people at the roundtable. Ninety-nine percent of the 245 million acres managed by the Bureau are in the West, so it only makes sense that nearly all the agency’s employees should also be located there. Step outside and not far from here, you can go hiking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, ride an ATV, ski, see wildlife, and partake in other important activities taking place on federal lands. Land management decisions are best made by the people who live, work, and raise their families on or near those lands and that are invested in local communities.” Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04) stated: “When it comes to land management, reading something on paper cannot compare to actually getting out on the land, kicking the dirt, and seeing it firsthand. The BLM headquarters being in Grand Junction doesn’t only benefit Mesa County or the state of Colorado, but it benefits the entire West. By bringing our decision-makers closer to the lands they manage, we can ensure that the voices of local communities are being heard. We heard directly from Coloradans today about the positive impacts this move has had, and it is clear that keeping this headquarters in the West is the right decision. I commend Representative Boebert for her steadfast leadership and bipartisan advocacy on this important issue for rural communities – both in her district and across the West.” Watch clips of the roundtable HERE. In January, Rep. Boebert led an effort supported by 23 Members of the House to ensure the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters remains in Grand Junction, Colorado. In February, Rep.

Representative Lauren Boebert stated: “More than 55% of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District is federal land. Many local governments struggle to fund essential services as a result of this significant presence. I will always go to bat for our rural communities and seek to make sure they receive the full PILT payments that are authorized under federal law. All 29 of the counties in my District benefit from the PILT program, and I will continue to fight for each one of them.” Background: The Biden administration has not yet released a budget or confirmed to local counties that it will meet its statutory obligation to provide PILT payments to counties. PILT funding allows counties to make up for lost tax revenue caused by tax-exempt federal land, and in 2020, Colorado received almost $42 million in PILT payments. While the average per-acre value for PILT payments is a fraction of the amount of revenues that would be generated for states and counties if value-based taxation or economic development occurred on these lands, PILT provides critical revenues for law enforcement, construction of public schools, firefighting, search-and-rescue operations, and road maintenance. Read the full text of Representative Boebert’s letter here and below. Dear President Biden, Deputy Director Young and Secretary Haaland: As your administration prepares to release its first budget, I urge you to include full funding for the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program for fiscal year 2022. All twenty-nine counties that make up Colorado’s Third Congressional District benefit from the PILT program, which provides necessary funding to offset the loss of tax revenue local governments would otherwise receive, but do not because of the large presence of federal lands within their boundaries.

Rep. Boebert stated: “Political retribution shouldn’t hurt veterans and people in need of help. That’s why I introduced a bill to ensure that constituents who have contacted their Congressional office to receive assistance with a federal agency continue to be served even after a new Representative takes office. It’s time to put people before politics and make sure that personal feelings and bitterness don’t prevent public servants from helping people they were elected to serve, many of whom are expecting their aid in resolving serious issues with the federal government. My passion is serving the people of Colorado’s Third Congressional District, and I hope to make the casework process more effective for everyone.” BACKGROUND: 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Representative Lauren Boebert stated: “When an organization targets the home of a sitting U.S. Senator, burns down cities across the country, and murders Americans because of their political beliefs, it would normally be designated a terrorist organization. Instead, Democrats like Kamala Harris fundraise to bail them out of prison. ANTIFA, and the Democrats who support it, are enemies of the American people.” Background: Opposing violent extremists terrorist organizations used to be a bi-partisan issue, but now Democrats are putting their radical left supporters ahead of national security. Even the Obama administration classified ANTIFA efforts as “domestic terrorist violence.” Now, the Biden administration is pretending that ANTIFA is a myth. America’s backbone is the Constitution, which includes the first amendment guarantees to the right of free speech. ANTIFA exists to shut down the free exchange of ideas and their political power is a fascist expression of force. Like the toxic cancel culture of the radical left, ANTIFA threatens to silence anyone who opposes them. This past summer, ANTIFA laid siege for over 60 days on a U.S. federal courthouse, injuring over 250 federal law enforcement officers. This treasonous insurrection used violence and fear to advance their political agenda—the very definition of terrorism. It is time to put the safety of the American people ahead of politics and designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization and declare that ALL political violence has no place in our great Nation. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Rep. Boebert stated: “Westerners deserve a voice in the land-use decisions that affect their lives daily. I am proud to introduce the LOCAL Act to ensure that our local communities have access to the decision-makers at the Bureau of Land Management headquarters. Since 99% of the lands that the Bureau manages are West of the Mississippi, it only makes sense to have the agency located close to the communities it serves.” American Energy Alliance president Tom Pyle said, “The decision by the Trump Administration to move the BLM headquarters out West was wise. The West is disproportionately impacted by decisions pertaining to the management of our public lands. It only makes sense that the leadership of the BLM be a part of that community. If COVID showed us anything positive, it’s that people can work productively remotely.” Off-Road Business Association, Inc.’s Scott Jones said: “We vigorously support the LOCAL Act requiring BLM headquarters permanently remaining in Grand Junction. Placement of the headquarters in this more centralized location allows for more timely and effective transfer of information and alignment of resources. This type of communication has proven invaluable in responding to the COVID outbreak as effectively as possible.” Background: Rep. Boebert introduced the LOCAL Act to keep the headquarters in Grand Junction in order to protect over 300 Western jobs in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana/Dakotas, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Washington/Oregon, and Wyoming. Additionally, the LOCAL Act will ensure that taxpayers continue to benefit from having the headquarters out west. The Department of the Interior estimates that in 2021, the move west will save more than $2 million in lease costs and $1.9 million in salary savings.

One bill would nullify President Biden’s destructive amnesty orders and the other would codify President Trump’s border security policies. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated: “Even if Democrats won’t say it, the situation at the border is a crisis. When you have to call in FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, that’s a clear sign that things are out of control. Instead of trying to fix the crisis, Biden is making it worse by cancelling President Trump’s effective border policies, banning the term ‘illegal alien,’ and pushing for mass amnesty. I introduced these bills because the real problems at our southern border deserve real solutions.” Background: In less than three months, the Biden Administration ushered the country into another border crisis, and his policies and comments have fueled cartels and brought the influx of aliens at the southern border. Currently more than 3,000 illegal immigrants are pouring over the southern border every day, and Border Patrol encountered 100,000 illegal aliens crossing the border last month—the largest monthly number in the last seven years. Tragically, many of these immigrants are unaccompanied minors being trafficked across the border by violent cartels. More than 3,000 children attempted to cross the border in just the first two weeks of March alone. Even Biden’s border czar, Roberta Jacobson, acknowledged that it was Democrat policies that “may have driven people to make that decision [to attempt to cross the border.]” President Biden has worsened the crisis on the border by creating policies incentivizing and allowing more illegal immigration, including: Unlawfully expanding the definition of “refugee” to include “climate refugees.” Providing sanctuary for criminal aliens and only removing those convicted of “aggravated felonies,” and then, only if they are deemed to be a “threat to public safety.” … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated: “The current crisis at our southern border is a direct result of Joe Biden’s amnesty and open border policies. Rather than passing legislation to protect our communities and secure the border, House Democrats doubled down with two massive amnesty bills that will exacerbate our immigration problems. Allowing illegal immigrants that are gang members and criminals with COVID to enter the U.S. and receive citizenship is a slap in the face to the American people and the rule of law. I will not vote for amnesty, period.” Background: Today, Congresswoman Boebert voted against two bills on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives that were rushed through the process by House Democrats and could provide amnesty to nearly 6 million illegal immigrants. In less than three months, the Biden administration ushered the country into another border crisis, and his policies and comments have fueled cartels and brought the influx of aliens at the southern border. Currently more than 3,000 illegal immigrants are pouring over the southern border every day, and Border Patrol encountered 100,000 illegal aliens crossing the border last month—the largest monthly number in the last seven years. H.R. 6 is estimated to provide amnesty and a pathway to citizenship to 4.4 million illegal immigrants at a cost of more than $35 billion. While it does nothing to secure the border, the bill expands and codifies into law an unconstitutional amnesty program created by the Obama administration. Shockingly, this bill grants legal status and allows for eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants that entered the country as recently as January 1, 2021. Even more shocking, H.R. 6 provides a pathway to citizenship to 400,000 illegal immigrants who were only supposed to be in the U.S. temporarily until conditions improved and they co… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Congresswoman Boebert stated: “Over 90% of federal land is located west of the Mississippi, and westerners are wary of federal efforts to disproportionately seize more of their land through the misguided 30 by 30 initiative that aims to lock up 30% of the United States’ land and waters in the next 9 years. The West is already leading the way on responsible conservation efforts, and our long outdoor heritage demonstrates that multiple-use is not contrary to environmental protection. We do not need more federal government overreach and control of our land and water, and I will always fight to protect private property, preserve local control, and defend the economy from radical legislation.” Background: The federal government already manages 640 million of acres of land, the vast majority of which is in the West. Rep. Boebert is concerned that the federal government may use the 30 by 30 initiative to undermine private property rights and put more land in a Democrat landlock since the Biden Administration has stated that private lands are not exempt from its radical land-use policy. The West has seen many federal land grabs over the years, but this program drastically raises the stakes. Rep. Boebert supports scientific land management that recognizes that multiple-use activities such as grazing and timber harvesting are effective tools to conserve landscapes. The West’s history of economic and environmental leadership demonstrates that conservation and economic development are not mutually exclusive, and together they help strengthen local communities. Rather than bureaucrats, local stakeholders know how to best manage their resources. Rather than trampling on counti… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Congresswoman Boebert stated: “The Bureau of Land Management’s move West has delegated more responsibility to employees in the field, improved customer service and coordination with local communities, ensured better decisions earlier in the decision-making process, and provided good-paying local jobs. Housing the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters in Grand Junction has allowed local stakeholders to have a voice in important decisions affecting their livelihoods. I look forward to the next Secretary of the Interior visiting Grand Junction to see firsthand the great work being done at the Headquarters and to hear from the ranchers, county commissioners, sheriffs, farmers, hunters, off-roaders, and other outdoor recreation enthusiasts who have benefited from the agency’s move West.” Background: Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Mesa County Commissioners Janet Rowland, Cody Davis, and Scott McInnis, and Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Diane Schwenke sent a letter to the next Secretary of the Department of the Interior Deb Haaland formally inviting her to visit Colorado and the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters in Grand Junction following her successful confirmation by the U.S. Senate. In addition to the formal invite, the letter stated, “We would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate our strong support for keeping and establishing a full national headquarters in Grand Junction and would like to have a dialogue and consult with you on this important issue.” 99% of the 245 million acres managed by Bureau of Land Management are in the West.

Congressman Boebert stated: “The Second Amendment is not open for debate. Why do Democrats feel that this is the one enumerated Constitutional right that they can trample? Why do they build a fence surrounding the Capitol but strip away the right for Americans to protect themselves? Democrats don’t respect Americans’ rights because they don’t care about the people—they only care about the swamp.” Image Background: Rep. Boebert is a passionate defender of the Second Amendment. She and Rep. Kat Cammack (FL-03) wrote an op-ed in the Washington Examiner defending the right to keep and bear arms from the leftist measures in the so-called “Bi-Partisan Background Checks Act” and the “Enhanced Background Check Act.” Additionally, Rep. Boebert gave an impassioned speech on the House Floor calling out members of Congress who have taxpayer-funded 24/7 armed security but want to deny Americans the right to defend themselves. By mandating universal background checks, H.R. 8 would result in a national firearm registry and criminalize commons exchanges of firearms like a farmer loaning a rifle to a neighbor trying to protect his cattle from wolves, a homeowner letting her neighbor borrow a firearm following a break-in, a collector donating a historic rifle to a museum, or a parent gifting a gun to their stepchild. It tramples on the Second Amendment while doing nothing to reduce gun violence as 70% of prisoners who use a gun to commit their crimes acquire them illegally. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Representative Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated: “My District is all too familiar with federal government attempts to seize control of private property and private water rights. By extorting water through permitting, leasing, and other use schemes, government bureaucrats have trampled on the rights of local communities. The Western Water Security Act prevents federal water grabs, protects private property rights, and helps ensure an abundant supply of clean water for future generations. This bill puts people before politics and rural America before the Swamp.” Representative Paul Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) said: “In the West, whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting, unfortunately too often our states, communities and businesses are forced to fight with the federal government over water. The Western Water Security Act begins the process of restoring the balance back to the people of the West over our own water supplies and stops the extortion of water rights by federal agencies. I applaud our colleague from Colorado for leading this effort and hope that Congress will act quickly on this important legislation.” Representative Doug Lamborn (CO-05) stated: “The government’s duty is to protect hard-working American’s private property rights, not to seize control of them. We cannot allow the federal government to continue to trample on state and local authority. The Western Water Security Act would prevent federal water grabs and help ensure farmers and ranchers have access to the resources they need for their livestock and crop irrigation. I am grateful for the leadership of my friend and fellow Coloradan Rep. Boebert on this issue.” Representative Russ Fulcher (ID-01) said: “The Western Water Security Act supports the water rights of Idaho ranchers, farmers, and beneficial users, and I am proud to cosponsor this legislation.

Boebert Introduces Bill Moving Capitol Fence to Southern Border 2021-03-08 2021 2021-03 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert (CO-03) introduced a bill to move the fencing around the U.S. Capitol to the southern border. Representative Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated: “You protect what you care about—President Trump built a wall to protect the American people, and Democrats built a wall around the Capitol to protect themselves. Democrats are used to hiding—after all, Joe Biden spent last year in his basement—but it is wrong to shut the American people out of the People’s House. Congress needs to get back to doing the people’s business with full accountability and access, with members of the public able to meet with their elected representatives. A Congress afraid of its own citizens is unworthy to lead the free world.” Background: The Capitol has been surrounded by razor wire fences and National Guard members for months at a cost to taxpayers of more than $519 million. Currently, Democrats are calling for the fence to remain up through the fall, effectively closing the People’s House to the American people. During the Trump Administration, Democrats said that walls don’t work, but as soon as they got in power, they built a wall around the Capitol and the White House. The fencing around the Capitol is no longer necessary. Following mass media reports of the threat of a violent protest on March 4th, the Capitol went on a heightened security posture. The Democrats all stayed home, where they’ve been since last year, but Rep. Boebert’s office came to work ready to go about the people’s business. There was no violence or protests, and the Capitol was never in danger. Rep. Boebert has spent time with the great men and women of the National Guard, and while she is grateful for their service, she also recognizes that it is time for them to go home to their families. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Representative Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated: “For 53 years, North Korea has unlawfully held the USS Pueblo captive, displaying it as a war trophy in its capital city of Pyongyang. Named for Pueblo, Colorado, bringing home the ship is a personal priority, as well as an important national effort to honor fallen Petty Officer Duane Hodges and display American resolve.” Background: In the early afternoon of January 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo was on a mission in international waters off the coast of North Korea. Though unprovoked, the North Korean navy captured the USS Pueblo in violation of international maritime law. The siege resulted in the death of Petty Officer Duane Hodges and lead to the almost year-long imprisonment of 82 American sailors. To this day, though the USS Pueblo is commissioned by the United States Navy, it remains on display as a war trophy in North Korea’s capital city of Pyongyang. Representative Boebert’s legislation facilitates the return of the USS Pueblo to the United States. It also restates that the USS Pueblo is property of the United States Navy and its siege, the murder of Petty Officer Duane Hodges, and the inhumane captivity of American troops was in violation of international law. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Representative Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated: “General Honoré’s vulgar words towards members of Congress and the U.S. Capitol Police speak for themselves. Clearly, he is unfit for this position, and Speaker Pelosi should have never appointed him in the first place, and she needs to correct this mistake by removing him now. His words are an insult to Congress and an affront to the brave men and women of the U.S. Capitol Police. I will not let their heroism be stained by the words of this wrathful man.” Background: Today, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) introduced legislation and spearheaded a letter calling on Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to remove Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, USA (Ret.) from investigating the events of January 6, 2021 because of his record of hyper-partisanship and vulgar statements towards members of Congress and the U.S. Capitol Police disqualify him from a such a sensitive position. Congresswoman Boebert’s bill and letter were supported by 25 Members of Congress including: Representatives Andy Biggs, Dan Bishop, Lauren Boebert, Mo Brooks, Kat Cammack, Jerry L. Carl, Michael Cloud, Bob Gibbs, Bob Good, Paul A. Gosar, Andy Harris, Yvette Herrell, Jody Hice, Barry Loudermilk, Thomas Massie, Mary Miller, Barry Moore, Scott Perry, Bill Posey, Chip Roy, David Rouzer, John H. Rutherford, David Schweikert, Thomas P. Tiffany, Randy K. Weber. On January 15, 2021, while the Nation was still reeling from the events of January 6th, Speaker Pelosi threw gas on the fire by appointing General Honoré, whose partisan fervor has a history of creating hostile division, to lead the investigation into Capitol security. The magnitude of the security failures on January 6th warrants a serious response led by non-partisan, cool-headed investigators.… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

Representative Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated: “All of our men and women in uniform, including our brave sailors in the U.S. Navy, deserve to have the best tools needed to carry out their mission to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Unfortunately, liberal intersectional ideology undermines this mission. Our Armed Forces are built upon unity and teamwork, but intersectional philosophy depends on dividing people into warring victim groups. In order to stand up to China, Russia, and terrorists, our military needs to project strength, not cultural wokeness.” Congressman Louie Gohmert (TX-01) stated: “The Navy’s divisive ‘woke pledge’ to acknowledge intersectional identities threatens the fabric of our military, which has always united our servicemembers through the common theme of service to and love of our country. Radical Leftist orthodoxy has no place in the Navy or any other branch of our military. Patriotic Americans who hold traditional beliefs deserve to know if they will be welcomed into the Navy or if they must meet a certain level of victimhood in order to be accepted.” Background: Today, Representatives Lauren Boebert (CO-03), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), and Ralph Norman (SC-05) contacted Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Harker to raise concerns and ask him to stop attempts by the Task Force One Navy to insert intersectional liberal ideology into the training regimen for sailors in the U.S. Navy. Task Force One Navy introduced the following pledge for sailors: “I pledge to advocate for and acknowledge all lived experiences and intersectional identities of every sailor in the Navy. I pledge to engage in ongoing self-reflection, education and knowledge sharing to better myself and my communities. I pledge to be an example in establishing healthy, inclusive and … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:33:37Z

These notices were not sent because taxpayers were late on payments, but rather, because of the IRS’ egregious dereliction of duty in not processing their incoming mail and tax returns effectively. While Americans are working hard trying to support their families, IRS employees have been on permanent vacation. They have not shown up to work for the past year because of pandemic policies, and they are apparently inept at working from home. These unacceptable failures have caused panic for many of my constituents, and I will not stand for it. I will continue to fight against this loathsome bureaucracy, and I will not let my District be harassed.” Background: U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles P. Rettig demanding an explanation for the threatening IRS letters sent to law-abiding taxpayers in her District who filed their 2019 tax returns on time. These letters were mistakenly sent since the IRS has had a reported mail processing backlog of nearly 12 million letters that were sitting in trucks while the agency has been on lock down. The failure of the IRS to come up with a workable telework plan is unacceptable, and now taxpayers are paying the price by undergoing traumatic fear, hours of wait times calling backed-up help lines, and trying to navigate an unworkable bureaucracy. Congresswoman Boebert called on the IRS to fix its broken systems and suspend issuing notices of intent to seize property until the mail backlog is responsibly dealt with and law-abiding taxpayers are protected from receiving letters threatening garnishment of wages, federa… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:26:35Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated: "The people of Colorado's Third District deserve a voice in land use decisions that impact their daily lives, but career politicians in Congress want to drown them out with a partisan landgrab. H.R. 803 is an extreme package that will kill jobs, limit outdoor recreation, prevent public access, exacerbate wildfire challenges, stifle responsible energy production and lockup 3 million acres of public land. Even though local stakeholders will be harmed dramatically by these bills, no swamp politician bothered to ask the people for real input, and they did not consult with my office before trying to shut down my district. After a year of overly restrictive lockdowns and regulations on our daily lives, the last thing communities in my district need is further restrictions imposed by government limiting what they can do on public lands. Denver politicians should focus on their own district and stay out of mine." Image Background: Today, Rep. Boebert voted against H.R. 803, an extreme package comprised of 8 bills that would kill jobs, limit recreation opportunities, prevent public access, exacerbate wildfire challenges, prevent responsible energy production and lockup approximately 3 million acres of federal land. Roughly 550,000 of those 1.5 million acres that would be shut down by these new wilderness designations are in Representative Boebert’s district. Representative Boebert authored and sponsored 11 amendments to protect her constituents from this job-killing bill that seeks to keep the American people from utilizing their public lands. She also worked with her colleagues to lead 9 other amendments that she cosponsored to fight this massive landgrab. More on these amendments can be found HERE.

H.R. 803 is an extreme package that would kill jobs, limit recreation opportunities, prevent public access, exacerbate wildfire challenges, prevent responsible energy production and lockup approximately 3 million acres of federal land. Roughly 550,000 of those 1.5 million acres that would be shut down by these new wilderness designations are in Representative Boebert’s district.

Huffman wearing a tinfoil hat, to new Committee rules attempting to unconstitutionally ban guns, to the Chairman directing a hateful and illegitimate tirade at Republicans—It’s hard to say how low they will sink in the future, but you can take it to the bank that I won’t stand for their crap. If these leftists don’t want to show up and do real work, this won’t be the last time Chairman Grijalva has to apologize.” Background Today, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) participated in her first ever House Committee on Natural Resources hearing in the form of the Committee’s organizational meeting for the 117th Congress. She delivered a dominating performance and was able to get the Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources Raul Grijalva (AZ-03) to apologize and retract all comments made during a partisan attack on Republicans during the hearing. Congresswoman Boebert also strongly defended the Second Amendment of our Constitution and opposed an unconstitutional stunt from House Democrats in the form of a Committee rule change that would ban firearms in the Committee hearing and conference rooms. Full video of the hearing can be viewed HERE. During the hearing, Ranking Member Bruce Westerman offered an amendment requesting the use of available audio and visual equipment to conduct and improve hybrid hearings. Some Members currently prefer to be in the Committee room to conduct official business if possible and other Members prefer to be virtual right now citing the COVID-19 pandemic.

The congressional delegation, hosted by House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs, visited Sasabe, Nogales, and Sierra Vista during the last week of January. While on the tour, Rep. Boebert met with Border Patrol, customs officials, other local law enforcement, and the mom of a police officer killed by an illegal alien. Image In a statement following the trip, Congresswoman Boebert said, “Chairman Biggs and his entire team deserve thanks for getting boots on the ground so members of Congress can see these issues firsthand and the urgency of securing our southern border. Under President Trump’s leadership, illegal immigration was the lowest it had been in 17 years. The Trump administration achieved this success because they understood the actual problems and addressed them. So far under President Biden, the only actions he has taken regarding immigration involve amnesty and implementing a ban on using the term ‘illegal alien.’ It’s almost laughable, but what won’t be a laughing matter is the increase of illegal drugs, violence and human trafficking that will result from Biden’s amnesty policies and his unwillingness to secure the border.” Congresswoman Boebert is taking action to secure the southern border, end amnesty and uphold the rule of law. Several actions she has taken to date include but are not limited to: Cosponsored the No Asylum for Criminals Act. This bill ensures unlawful aliens convicted of crimes are ineligible for asylum. Cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act.This legislation limits birthright citizenship to a child born in the U.S. of parents, one of whom is: A citizen or national of the United States.

The PCD, located in Pueblo, Colorado, is responsible for the safe and secure storage and destruction of our nation's chemical weapons stockpile. After the tour, Representatives Boebert and Lamborn issued the following statements: "The Pueblo Chemical Depot plays a critical role in fulfilling international treaty obligations," said Representative Boebert. "This state-of-the-art facility places a premium on safety. The Depot is also an important employer for Pueblo. I want to thank Colonel Cobb and his team for this incredible tour. I was also thrilled to be joined by my friend and the Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee's Subcommittee on Readiness Doug Lamborn. His subcommittee has jurisdiction over the Depot and his attendance today demonstrates that it is a priority." "I had the honor of touring the Pueblo Chemical Depot with my colleague and friend, Representative Boebert," said Representative Lamborn. "As the Ranking Member of the Readiness Subcommittee, which oversees our nation's depots, I was grateful for the opportunity to witness how the outstanding team at the PCD successfully executes the handling, storing, and processing of our nation's chemical weapons stockpile. This Depot stands at the intersection of defense and public lands issues. I look forward to working closely with Congresswoman Boebert on these issues, which are crucial to the state of Colorado."

Hard-working men and women will be forced to come home and tell their families that they were laid off and that they have to move out of the only neighborhood they have ever known. There is no reason the U.S. should become more dependent on volatile foreign sources from countries like Russia, Iraq and Saudi Arabia when we can safely produce these resources right here in America. While Joe Biden continues to pander to campaign donors and extremist environmentalists, I'll continue to fight for jobs and the people of Colorado's Third District.” House Committee on Natural Resources Ranking Member Bruce Westerman (AR-04) said, “Our infrastructure depends on oil and natural gas. That fact won’t disappear overnight, no matter how many executive orders President Biden signs. He’s choosing to eliminate jobs, opportunities, and American energy independence, and this will have devastating effects on our economy. That’s why I’m cosponsoring legislation like the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act, because America already leads the world in clean, safe, and reliable energy production. There’s no reason to outsource this demand overseas when we can be producing it right here at home.” Congressional Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04) said, "It is unconscionable that President Biden would – during a global pandemic – eliminate thousands of jobs and prevent the creation of thousands more with just the flick of his pen.

Eleven other Members of Congress and I have called on the SEC to launch a full investigation into the legality of these events. Big Tech and Wall Street’s collusion have led to massive distrust in the market. That trust will not be restored until our questions are answered and those responsible are held accountable.” Background Today, Congresswoman Boebert and eleven other Members of Congress sent a letter to the Security and Exchange Commission requesting the agency launch an investigation into the unprecedented market manipulation this week by financial institutions and Big Tech.

By now we are all familiar with the situation occurring with GameStop Corporation Common Stock (GME). While hedge funds and other privileged investors were afforded the ability to short in excess of 120% of shares outstanding, retail investors responded to this opportunity and subsequently bought the stock to a level that triggered a “short squeeze.” In the midst of this and in the name of reducing “volatility,” certain brokerage platforms restricted the buying but not the selling of GME an… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:19:43Z

COVID lockdowns have created enough unemployment and economic challenges without Joe Biden delivering more pink slips to thousands of Coloradans. People are losing everything they have and the only thing this president cares about is appeasing extremist environmentalists. While the Biden administration pretends big oil is its target, the reality is it’s the folks in small rural communities that will be hit hardest by today’s indefinite moratorium. The U.S. has the highest environmental standards in the world and if we aren’t responsibly developing these resources in America, then other countries will take these jobs and develop dirtier resources.” Background Today, Joe Biden signed an executive order that imposed an indefinite moratorium on new oil and natural gas leasing on public lands and offshore waters. Presidents can't unilaterally ban leasing on federal land and in federal waters. Today's unlawful executive order violates the Mineral Leasing Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Federal Lands Policy and Management Act. Colorado is one of the largest natural gas producing states in the country. Colorado’s Third Congressional District accounts for ~44% of Colorado’s natural gas production. In addition to supporting more than 230,000 Colorado jobs, Colorado’s oil and natural gas industry provided $839 million for K-12 schools in 2015 and 2016.
