Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “I worked hard with the House Appropriations Committee to ensure that twenty-two of my legislative provisions for Colorado were included in the bill and signed into law. My top priority is delivering results for the people of Colorado’s Third District, and that is exactly what I did by securing these twenty-two legislative provisions signed into law.” Legislative Priorities Signed into Law Delivering for Colorado’s Third District: Natural Resources Statutory provision signed into law directing the U.S. Forest Service and the Department of the Interior to establish a pilot program to combat salt cedar and Russian olive infestations in the West. These noxious weeds waste precious water resources. This appropriation victory delivered on Rep. Boebert’s promise to Montezuma County to help them combat drought by removing noxious weeds. Legislative provision signed into law prohibiting listing the greater sage-grouse as an endangered species. This will protect 173 million acres of land from being locked up from energy production, critical mineral production, grazing rights, and other multiple-use activities. $50 million appropriation signed into law for the U.S. Forest Service to address invasive species like the bark beetle infestation devastating Colorado’s forests. Additionally, by fighting the bark beetle infestation, Rep. Boebert’s legislative provision will reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. Water $229.26 million for water conservation and delivery projects and an additional $50 million for rural water projects that will help combat western drought, including the Arkansas Valley Conduit that will provide an abundant supply of clean water for 50,000 people in Southeastern Colorado. $7.66 million for the Bureau of Reclamation’s Upper Colorado and San Juan Rivers Endangered Fi… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Boebert Introduces Bill to Ban Taxpayer-Funded Abortions for Illegal Aliens | 2022-12-15 | 2022 | 2022-12 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced a bill to prohibit U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from using taxpayer dollars to transport illegal aliens across state lines for abortions. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The Biden administration is unlawfully using taxpayer money to transport pregnant, illegal alien children across state lines for late-term abortions. My colleagues and I have introduced bicameral legislation to end these illegal and horrific policies once and for all. Taxpayer money should never fund abortions, whether for citizens or non-citizens. Our priority at the southern border should be security and peace, not death and destruction.” Senator Roger Marshall said, “No American’s tax dollars should pay for any illegal alien’s abortion, just like they should not pay for any American citizen’s abortion. Deportations are the only form of government-funded travel ICE should be providing to illegal immigrants. Additionally, with a major strain on resources and manpower on the southern border, we should be prioritizing activities performed by ICE and HHS that keep Americans safe. We’ve seen President Biden and his cabinet secretaries repeatedly abuse their power to enact a radical agenda that is failing the American people. The deterioration of our country will not stop unless Congress acts to put a check on this far left administration.” Congressman Doug Lamborn said, “American’s hardworking tax dollars should never go toward paying for abortions, let alone paying for the transportation of illegal immigrants across state lines to receive abortions. This is yet another example of Biden’s radical border policies which will only exacerbate the crises at our Southern Border. I thank Congresswoman Boebert for her leadership on this important issue.” Congressman Ken Buck stated, “The chaos at the southern border has threatened our national sovereignty and resulted in record-high crossings. Instead of directing funds to he… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The Bureau of Indian Affairs’ one-sided decision ignored the critical concerns of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Instead of addressing the Tribe’s particular concerns regarding reservation land holdings, they gave the Tribe the bureaucratic run-a-round and relied on other irrelevant factors to make their detrimental decision. I am urging the Bureau of Indian Affairs to reconsider its decision.” Ute Mountain Ute Tribal Council Chairman Manuel Heart said, “We really appreciate Congresswoman Boebert and her letter in supporting the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. We have met with DOI in the past through the Solicitor’s office, and we feel that the Pinecrest Ranch is in Restricted Fee Status. Based on the original purchase of the Ranch and the settlement agreement with the Courts and the DOI. We went through the courts and there was a settlement agreement made on the mistake of ownership of the said Trust lands in New Mexico, between the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and the Navajo Tribe. These lands purchased should have been put into the records of Ute Mountain Ute Tribal ownership from Trust to Trust instead of restricted fee or the current status of Fee Land. Thank you.” Background: Leading an effort to clarify a Bureau of Indian Affairs decision regarding the Ute Mountain Ute Pinecrest Ranch in Gunnison, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert sent a congressional oversight inquiry to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is actively working to advocate for Tribes in Colorado’s Third Congressional District: In a legislative provision signed in law, Congresswoman Boebert secured $10 million for the Indian Irrigation Fund to address the deferred maintenance backlog and increase water storage projects like the Southern Utes’ Pine River Indian Irrigation Project.… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:24:37Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Mesa County has been waiting more than five years for federal agencies to sell them a parcel of land that federal agencies claim they no longer need and want to sell. Mesa County plans to use this land for economic development in Clifton. Unfortunately, federal officials have dragged their heels and failed to get this commonsense land exchange done. I support Mesa County’s efforts that will facilitate economic growth in an area that needs new opportunities. I’m hopeful we will see some movement in the near future.” Mesa County Commissioner Cody Davis said, “The County has been working with the BLM for over five years now to get this property. I really appreciate Congresswoman Boebert's efforts to get this across the finish line. It'll be a great economic benefit to the Clifton area.” Background: For more than five years, Mesa County has been trying to acquire a parcel, at fair market value, that the Bureau of Land Management has designated for disposal and no longer wants. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s office met with Bureau of Land Management State Director Doug Vilsack to discuss land management policies that are impacting Colorado’s Third District. Additionally, the Congresswoman has been active in public lands issues impacting the region and previously went on a Mesa County field site visit with senior Bureau of Land Management officials. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has been a tireless champion defending rural Colorado’s land management interests, and she worked to keep the Bureau of Land Management western headquarters in Grand Junction so that local communities could have a voice in the land management decisions that impact their daily lives.

Lauren Boebert and Doug Lamborn Lead Congressional Oversight Over Biden’s Funding of Palestinian Terrorists | 2022-11-03 | 2022 | 2022-11 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Reps. Lauren Boebert and Doug Lamborn led 38 Members of Congress in congressional oversight over the Biden administration’s illegal funding of Palestinian terrorists in violation of the Taylor Force Act. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The Palestinian Authority is a terrorist organization that pays the families of terrorists lavish monthly pensions as part of a so-called ‘Martyr’s Fund.’ In 2018, President Trump signed the Taylor Force Act, prohibiting U.S. taxpayer dollars from flowing to the Palestinian Authority while they pay for terrorist attacks against Americans and Israelis. In clear violation of the law, Joe Biden has provided more than half a billion dollars to the Palestinian Authority, putting America, Israel, and our western allies at risk. This lawless administration must be held accountable.” “I authored the Taylor Force Act in 2017 to ensure that the humanitarian and economic assistance provided by the United States government was not being used by the Palestinian Authority for its inhumane ‘pay-to-slay’ program,” said Congressman Doug Lamborn. “U.S. tax dollars should never support terrorist regimes that incentivize the murder of innocent people. I am deeply concerned that the Biden Administration has decided to disregard bipartisan consensus condemning this ‘martyr’ payment program and instead continues to knowing provide billions of taxpayer dollars to the Palestinian Authority.” Sarah N. Stern, Founder and President, Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET), said, “EMET thanks, from the bottom of our hearts, Representative Lauren Boebert and Representative Doug Lamborn, as well as the 36 others for ensuring that the Biden administration lives up to both the letter and the spirt of the Taylor Force Act. America should not be turning a blind eye towards the incentivization of the lavish payments towards Palestinian terrorists for the murder of American and Israeli citizens.” Background: Taylor Force was an American hero who graduated from West Point and served tours in Iraq and A… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:24:37Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Law enforcement experts know that the vast majority of fentanyl illegally comes across the southern border. Since Biden took office, enough fentanyl to kill every American 11 times over has been smuggled across our border. The crisis at the border has caused an explosion in deaths from the fentanyl epidemic, and it is ravaging rural Colorado. I am working to clean up this mess by standing with local law enforcement as they deal with the unprecedented jump in crime and drug trafficking. I visited the Montezuma-Cortez Drug Task Force and saw their amazing work firsthand. They are the best of the best, and they are deserving of additional federal resources through the HIDTA program. These additional resources will help the brave men and women of law enforcement in Montezuma County defend their community and save lives.” Montezuma County Sheriff Steven D. Nowlin said, “Securing a HIDTA designation for Montezuma County is something we’ve been trying to do now for eight years. It is definitely needed since the Four Corners region is a drug pipeline for the cartels along the Mexican border. I would certainly appreciate any help from the U.S. Congress to get this done and secure more assistance for our work to combat the flow of deadly drugs into our community.” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is actively working to back the blue and has secured the following support for local law enforcement: In legislation signed into law, Congresswoman Boebert successfully secured $515 million for the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program to provide critical resources for rural law enforcement. Congresswoman Boebert introduced legislation to designate fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. This designation will increase interagency cooperation and a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:24:37Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The new Bruce Canyon Reservoir and other Cucharas Basin Storage Collaborative water projects will be transformational for our communities. These locally-driven solutions will add thousands of acre-feet of water storage.” President of the Huerfano Water Conservancy District Scott D. King said, “Congresswoman Boebert, I would like to thank you for your letter of support for our water project in Huerfano County. On behalf of our Board of Directors, we appreciate your taking time to support rural water. We look forward to reaching out to you in the future.” Background: Over the past seven years, multiple local agencies and organizations have worked together with the Huerfano County Water Conservancy District to help develop the Cucharas Basin Storage Collaborative. This Collaborative is working on building water projects that will help supply water to La Veta and benefit local agriculture. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has been working hard on water issues for the District: Supporting 566 water projects that would provide new or improved ditches, pipelines, conveyance, and storage for Conejos, Alamosa, Rio Grande, and Mineral counties. Advocating to defeat the misguided proposal put forth by the Denver suburbs to steal seven billion gallons of water per year in perpetuity from the San Luis Valley. Introducing the Western Water Security Act to protect private water rights, defend against federal water grabs, and help ensure an abundant supply of clean water for future generations.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Biden has waged an all-out war on American energy, and we are all paying the price for it. Gas is $4 a gallon again, and moms are spending more than $75 dollars to fill up their minivans. The worst part about it is this administration still doesn’t have a plan. I’ve had enough of this nonsense. It’s time to reduce inflation, lower gas prices, stop raiding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and drill, baby, drill.” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert led 11 Members of Congress in a congressional oversight letter to Secretaries Granholm and Haaland encouraging action and seeking accountability for the worsening energy crisis. The Members include Reps. Mary Miller (IL-15), Troy Nehls (TX-22), Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Greg Steube (FL-17), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Tom Tiffany (WI-07), Dan Bishop (NC-09), Glenn Grothman (WI-06), Randy Weber (TX-14), and Doug LaMalfa (CA-01). The full text of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s letter to Secretaries Granholm and Haaland is available here and below: Secretaries Granholm and Haaland, This administration has done everything possible to discourage oil production and raise energy costs on the American people, and the egregious results speak for themselves: the average national price of a gallon of gas peaked at over five dollars in June before decreasing due to a drop off in demand and the onset of recession. While some Americans have come to view a brief decline in gas prices as a welcome respite during record high inflation, increasing interest rates, and a sputtering economy, gas prices are still much too high and they are starting to increase again.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Petty Officer Second Class Zach Loesch is an American hero, and he deserves to be treated as such. Due to the vaccine mandate, his rescue mission responding to Hurricane Ian may be his last, as he is set to be involuntarily discharged in 30 to 60 days. The federal government’s failure to respect religious freedom and allow these exemptions is causing the military to lose talented individuals like Petty Officer Loesch. It’s time to end these mandates and support our troops’ religious freedom!” Petty Officer Second Class Zach Loesch said, “If I had asked any of the people I saved yesterday if they wanted to come with me even though I am unvaccinated, every single one of them would have said ‘yes.’ It just sucks that [Biden] thanked me yet the vaccine mandate is what’s kicking me out. I just love my job, and I’m really good at it. It sucks. I feel like this is the job that I was born to do.” Background: Joe Biden publicized a phone call he had with Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Petty Officer Second Class Zach Loesch thanking him for his heroic actions in saving a wheelchair-bound woman and her husband during a search and rescue mission following Hurricane Ian. Petty Officer Second Class Loesch told Tucker Carlson that although he appreciated the recognition, he is still facing involuntary discharge for refusing to take the COVID vaccine despite filing a religious exemption. In response, Rep.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “It is inexcusable that some of our veterans were unable to get medical treatment for more than a year and a half because Biden’s bureaucrats were sitting at home on the couch while the rest of America was working. It should shock no one that now that these public servants are back in the office, actual work is being done, the backlog is being significantly reduced, and our nation’s heroes are now getting the official records they need for benefits from a government agency in a timelier manner. While this is welcome news, it shouldn’t have taken multiple oversight efforts by Members of Congress to get federal employees back to work and to do their jobs. America’s veterans deserve better!” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert sent two letters (available here and here) to the National Personnel Records Center requesting that it return to in-person work. Additionally, Congresswoman Boebert cosponsored the RECORDS Act to mandate that staff return to appropriate levels of in-person work to reduce unacceptable backlogs. The National Archivist of the United States responded to Congresswoman Boebert’s congressional oversight effort stating, “Since directing all staff to return for on-site work in March of this year, NPRC has reduced its overall backlog from 603,000 to 437,000 requests.” Prior to Congresswoman Boebert’s oversight, some requests at the National Personnel Records Center took up to 18 months to fulfill. This unacceptable wait time was devastating for veterans who needed their personnel files in order to receive medical care, access the benefits they earned, or receive replacement medals they earned.

There is already a $22 billion backlog of conservation and infrastructure projects for protected lands, while costs continue to balloon because of government mismanagement. The bright spot is that GAOA provided secure funding for conservation derived almost exclusively from federal oil and natural gas production. On the other hand, Biden has been intent on eliminating federal oil and natural gas since day one of his presidency. It’s not clear the president is aware that oil and natural gas and conservation are directly linked. An attack on one is an attack on the other. Therefore, the president’s policies have created a double whammy that put the future of Camp Hale and other public lands at risk. “In addition, the White House has initiated a withdrawal for the Thompson Divide while advancing a false narrative that energy development and land protection are mutually exclusive. Oil and natural gas activity has taken place in the Thompson Divide area since the 1940s while conserving the land. We can do both: we can develop energy while protecting the land. The area remains a vital resource and is located within the second largest potential natural gas reserve in the United States. There’s no need to lock away public lands and minerals, especially at a time of high energy prices. “We’re proud that revenues from oil and natural gas production on non-park, non-wilderness public lands provides the vast majority of the $2.8 billion annually for federal conservation. However, if Biden’s attacks on our industry are not reversed, over time the revenue stream for these conservation programs will dry up. Compounding the problem, the cost of protecting iconic places has swelled under the current administration.

Shamefully, Biden ignored the concerns and opposition of impacted communities so he could appease Green New Deal extremists. Equally troubling, they hid their true motivations and failed to be transparent about the harm and restrictions that will result from this massive land grab. With gas prices skyrocketing, OPEC decreasing its oil production, and Americans already struggling to pay their utility bills, this land grab to shut down American energy and natural resources production could not come at a worse time. “I have a few questions the fake news should ask Joe Biden about his land grab: With gas prices approaching $4.00 per gallon, how does preventing oil and gas production on 280,000 acres help and when will you stop your attacks on responsible energy production? Since you are also preventing mining on 280,000 acres, where are you going to get the minerals for all your electric vehicles, children mining with their bare hands in the Congo? Why did you claim you are taking today’s action in part to benefit the tribes, when the nearest tribal reservation is 4 ½ hours away? How many fewer trips overseas would you have to take to beg OPEC and the Saudi Prince to increase oil production if you allowed responsible energy production on the lands you locked up today? Why did you put the priorities of Green New Deal extremists ahead of hard-working Coloradans? How many catastrophic wildfires are going to burn as a result of your land grab that prevents timber harvesting and forest management?” “As if it weren’t enough for Joe Biden to deplete our emergency strategic petroleum reserves for political gamesmanship and then getting brushed off by OPEC after begging them to increase oil su… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Archuleta County Veterans Memorial Park is an important landmark in Pagosa Springs that honors our nation’s heroes. The park has some significant parking and accessibility needs. I am a strong supporter of our veterans and am trying to help the park with their needs so we can properly pay tribute to America’s local heroes.” Richard Walker, Board Member, Archuleta County Veterans Memorial Park, said, “The Archuleta County Veterans Memorial Park (VMP) is a work in progress and a work of love. We often host memorial services, in cooperation with the American Legion Post 108 of Pagosa Springs, for deceased veterans of the four corners area, sometimes as many as 6 a month. Last September, we held a commemorative event for the 20th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. This event was attended by over 180 people and our town's population is only about 1,500. We were joined by Pagosa's Fire Department, Police Department, Archuleta Sheriff's officers, and our Emergency Management Response team. We have a commemorative brick display where people can purchase a brick engraved in remembrance of their loved ones who served and/or perished in service to our country. The park has walking trails which are used daily, year-round. There are benches for visitors to sit and contemplate the sacrifices that our veterans have made to maintain our freedom, or just take in the view of the distant San Juan mountains, as well as picnic tables. Each year we hold a Veteran's Day observance including a flag ceremony, bugler playing ‘Taps’, and a rifle salute by the American Legion Honor Guard. “We recently completed our parking lot expansion but still need to add sidewalks and other improvements. Longer term plans include restroom facilities, a reflection pond, a picnic pavilion, commemorative circles for each branch of our armed forces, and an expanded area for our brick display.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The Cardiff Coke Ovens helped build Colorado and the West and are a unique landmark worthy of preservation. The ovens once burned coal to create coke which was then used to make steel used in railroad tracks throughout the country. I am working in conjunction with local stakeholders to preserve Colorado’s unique history and culture for the next generation.” Garfield County Commissioner John Martin said, “Garfield County is attempting to help save local history and recognize the contribution of the Glenwood Springs area to the Industrial Revolution.” Glenwood Springs City Councilman Tony Hershey said, “Maintaining Colorado’s history is so important. I’m grateful for Congresswoman Boebert’s support of the Cardiff Coke Ovens preservation effort, something that also has the backing of the City.” Background: The Cardiff Coke Ovens are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Congresswoman Boebert supports their preservation as do the Glenwood Springs Historical Society, the Glenwood Springs City Council, and the Garfield County Federal Mineral Lease District. Once Glenwood Springs’ South Bridge project is complete, the Cardiff Coke Ovens could become an easily accessible and popular tourist site. In June, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert sent a letter supporting Glenwood Springs’ grant application for the South Bridge project, stating, “The Glenwood Springs’ South Bridge Project has strong local support…This project is critical to provide a secondary evacuation route in the event of a wildfire, coal seam fire, or other natural disaster threatening Glenwood Springs. This worthwhile project will also help reduce congestion along the I-70 corridor. I am grateful to local officials for working with me on this issue in a bipartisan manner, and I look forward to seeing the South Bridge Project completed.” The… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

Boebert Introduces Legislation to Designate Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan a State Sponsor of Terrorism | 2022-10-04 | 2022 | 2022-10 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced a bill to designate Afghanistan a state sponsor of terrorism. Congresswoman Boebert said, “As a result of Biden’s botched Afghanistan surrender that killed 13 American service members, Afghanistan has once again become a safe haven for terrorists. Equally troubling, these terrorists now have access to more than $7 billion of U.S. supplied weapons, ground vehicles, and aircraft that we left behind. ISIS and al Qaeda are flourishing, have close ties to the Taliban, and now have the capability to attack us on U.S. soil. One of the best ways to protect the American people from these terrorists is to stop the money from flowing by formally designating Afghanistan as a state sponsor of terrorism.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert introduced the Taliban Sponsor Terrorism Act, legislation that would designate Afghanistan as a state sponsor of terrorism. The Taliban have orchestrated and participated in numerous acts of international terrorism over the last several decades. The Taliban has never renounced al Qaeda or broke off its affiliation with them, and they also have close affiliations with ISIS. U.S. officials have warned that al Qaeda and ISIS continue to grow their presence in Afghanistan. In fact, 2000 highly-trained ISIS fighters were let out of prison. Thomas West, the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan, recently stated, “The U.S. is deeply concerned about a number of other terrorist groups active in Afghanistan.” He also pointed out that Ayman al Zawahiri was free to walk the streets of Kabul and was found living in a home owned by people who have senior positions within the new Taliban regime. A 2022 United Nations report found, “There are no recent signs that the Taliban has taken steps to limit the activities of foreign terrorist fighters in the country. On the contrary, terrorist groups enjoy greater freedom there than at any time in recent history.” The report also found Osama Bin Laden’s son, Abdallah, “visited Afghanistan in October for meetings wi… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “COVID is over. Even Joe Biden recently admitted that. Accordingly, it defies common sense that his administration would continue to try and spend like drunken sailors and squander another $22.4 billion of your tax dollars on new ‘COVID relief’. In a rare, bipartisan moment of fiscal restraint, Congressional negotiators agreed with the effort of 25 of my colleagues and I and decided not to fund this wasteful and unnecessary Biden request." Background: During his first sit down interview with a reporter in 223 days, Biden told Scott Pelley of "60 Minutes" that "the pandemic is over." Unfortunately, his actions remain hypocritical, as his regime recently asked for another $22.4 billion in new COVID spending. Rep. Lauren Boebert opposed this new spending and led a successful effort supported by 26 Members of Congress demanding that future government funding bills not fund this request and not contain new COVID spending. Last night, the Senate released a draft continuing resolution that did not contain any new COVID funding and that failed to include Biden's request. Biden's request also didn’t make sense because inflation is historically high, America is already $30+ trillion dollars in debt, and there is still $700 billion in unspent COVID funds. Signers of Rep. Boebert’s letter include: Reps. Brian Babin (TX-36), Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Dan Bishop (NC-09), Ken Buck (CO-04), Buddy Carter (GA-01), Andrew Clyde (GA-09), Pat Fallon (TX-04), Matt Gaetz (FL-01), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Bob Good (VA-05), Lance Gooden (TX-05), Paul Gosar (AZ-04), W.

Rep. Lauren Boebert said, “For more than a decade, the CORE Act landgrab has failed to get the support necessary to be signed into law. These defeats have occurred despite proponents changing the name of the bill and Democrats even controlling the House, Senate, and Presidency. Because they have failed to pass a flawed bill into law, extremist environmentalists and out-of-touch Colorado politicians are now asking Biden to circumvent the will of the American people and Congress to lock up hundreds of thousands of acres in Colorado through the stroke of his pen. Local stakeholders have come out in strong opposition to this landgrab as this unilateral designation will kill jobs, harm private water rights, prevent responsible energy production, stop active forest management that will reduce wildfires, and prohibit critical minerals exploration. While proponents of this landgrab talk a good game and have tried to pull the wool over our eyes, at the end of the day, our communities will suffer if Biden capitulates to extremists and locks up our land.” Rep. Doug Lamborn stated, “The most recent attempt to force a massive land grab on the citizens of Colorado by Presidential fiat is extremely troubling. These restrictive land designations have been consistently rejected year after year by Congress and by the local communities most impacted. Instead of calling on President Biden to use the outdated 1906 Antiquities Act in an attempt to silence the opposition, my Colorado colleagues should work to address the concerns of local stakeholders. Our nation’s public resources are best managed when the people that use those lands are intimately involved in the process, not shutout.” Rep. Ken Buck stated, “This extreme overreach is another example of the Biden administration abusing its power to seize vast land resources for the radical Green New Deal.

Congresswoman Boebert stated, “Biden’s student loan bailout is nothing short of an election year bribe. The economy is crumbling, inflation is skyrocketing, the border is open, fentanyl deaths are going up, the Taliban has taken over Afghanistan, and Russia is invading Ukraine—Biden has nothing to run on, so he has resorted to buying votes. The majority of student loan debt is owed by the 14.3% of Americans who went to graduate school—but no worries—now, every American, whether they went to college or not, owes $2000 in student loans to be paid for in taxes. Even Nancy Pelosi and the Department of Education have admitted that the president does not have the unilateral authority to waive student loan payments, but Biden and his law-breaking regime don’t care.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert is a strong opponent of Biden’s plan to forgive student loan debt. There is no such thing as debt forgiveness—there is only debt transfer. This student loan debt was just transferred from people who took out student loans to people who paid their way through college or chose another responsible career path that did not require college debt. The vast majority of student loans are paid by Americans making well above the national average. Biden’s student loan policy is robbing the poor to pay the rich. Co-signers of Congresswoman Boebert’s letter to Biden include Reps. Mary Miller (IL-15), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Byron Donalds (FL-19), Paul Gosar (AZ-04), Ralph Norman (SC-05), Madison Cawthorn (NC-11), and Troy Nehls (TX-22).

Congresswoman Boebert said, “One year ago today, 13 U.S. Servicemembers died in the terrorist attack on Kabul Airport. After the Biden regime started stonewalling any Congressional oversight into the mismanaged, tragic Afghanistan surrender, I introduced articles of impeachment against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. One year later, the Biden regime is still not being held accountable by the fake news and Nancy Pelosi’s Congress. There have been no resignations, no indictments, no investigations, no congressional oversight, no outcry from the liberal media, and no apologies. We are still left with 13 dead heroes and unanswered questions. On the anniversary of these heroes’ deaths, I demanded answers from the Biden regime so that their families can get the answers they deserve. “Joe Biden has never had time for these 13 heroes. From checking his watch at Dover to passing over their sacrifice at the State of the Union, this so-called ‘Commander in Chief,’ who is in command of nothing, has disrespected those who gave their all in support of our great country. The blame rests squarely with Joe Biden. He is the one who sought his office. The buck stops with him.” Background: For the 18 months before Biden implemented his botched Afghanistan withdrawal, not a single American servicemember had lost their life in Afghanistan. But after blundering Biden took the helm of leadership, 13 American Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors made the ultimate sacrifice. While Biden has pathetically touted the Afghanistan withdrawal as an achievement, he abandoned over 1,000 U.S. citizens and thousands of lawful permanent residents in a backward Islamic theocracy. Instead of leading the country through this crisis, Joe Biden lied to the American people, lied to our Afghan allies, and cared more about optics than saving lives.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Local elected officials and other important stakeholders should have been intimately involved in determining whether Sweetwater Lake became a new state park, and they also should have a strong say in future operations. Unfortunately, many of the people that should have helped craft the plan didn’t find out about this proposal until they showed up at an event where it was announced last October. Due to this neglect, there are several issues that need to be addressed including amending the current Forest Plan, obtaining public input, fulfilling obligations to other federal laws, providing the necessary notice to the local government, and pursuing all necessary permits. Communication is critical, and I’m calling on the Forest Service to closely coordinate with Garfield County on this matter moving forward.” Garfield County Commissioner Tom Jankovsky said, “Garfield County appreciates Rep. Boebert's involvement in the USFS purchase of 488 acres of land at Sweetwater Lake. The Commissioners have long held that process needs to slow down and we need the USFS to follow its federal procedures and obligations so that Garfield County and the citizens of Sweetwater Lake have the opportunity to participate in what should be a transparent and inclusive decision making process on future land uses at Sweetwater.” Background: The Forest Service recently purchased Sweetwater Lake and added almost 500 acres to the White River National Forest. In October, Governor Polis and the Forest Service proposed to make Sweetwater Lake a new state park that will be operated through a state and federal partnership. Unfortunately, the proposal contains several unanswered questions and has lacked local input. Spe… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |

Congresswomen Lauren Boebert said, “This locally-driven, bipartisan bill is a public lands compromise put forth by local stakeholders that threads the needle. H.R. 8601 protects the Dolores River Corridor, conserves wildlife, and ensures scenic public lands for future generations while still protecting private water and private property rights. This well-crafted legislation ensures traditional uses like grazing, uranium mining and other mineral extraction, and motorized-vehicle use will continue. Importantly, this bill prevents a wild and scenic river designation in perpetuity, something that would negatively impact all the aforementioned uses. The hard work of everyone who came to the table to make this happen should be applauded.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert’s bipartisan Dolores River National Conservation Area and Special Management Area Act, H.R. 8601, is the identical House companion to the bill introduced by Colorado U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper. Nearly two decades in the making, the proposed National Conservation Area and Special Management Area would span three counties (Dolores, San Miguel, and Montezuma) covering 68,851 acres in the San Juan National Forest and the Dolores River Corridor. In the 1970s this stretch of the Dolores River was deemed suitable for a Wild and Scenic River (WSR) federal designation by the Bureau of Land Management. A WSR designation would not be in the best interest of rural Colorado since it would include a new federal reserved water right, negatively impacting existing private water rights. Congresswoman Boebert is a strong advocate for private water rights, and she introduced the Western Water Security Act to prevent federal wa… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |

Boebert introduced a House Resolution to honor twenty-two-year-old Elisjsha Dicken, who defended his fellow citizens by stopping an active shooter at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana. “Elisjsha Dicken is an American hero worthy of recognition and honor. Eli’s act of bravery saved countless lives and inspired millions more. While many career politicians are working to disarm law-abiding citizens like Eli, I’m committed to ensuring that we uphold the Constitutional right to defend one’s self. On behalf of a grateful nation, I’m honored to lead this bill recognizing Eli Dicken, a true American hero.” Background: On July 17, an active shooter opened fire in the food court of the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana. Just fifteen seconds after the shooting began, twenty-two-year-old Elisjsha “Eli” Dicken defended his fellow citizens by engaging the shooter with a 9mm Glock that he was carrying legally under Indiana’s constitutional carry statute. When the shooter tried to retreat, Eli pursued him fearlessly. The shooter tragically killed three people and injured multiple others in the fifteen seconds before Eli stopped him. Thankfully, Eli’s actions saved countless lives and prevented this tragedy from becoming a mass shooting. Indiana’s constitutional carry statute repealed the gun control law mandating that citizens obtain a permit to carry a handgun in public. Greenwood Police Chief James Ison described Eli as “very proficient” in using tactics that neutralized the threat and saved lives. Reps. Jim Banks (IN-03), Mike Carey (OH-15), Andrew Clyde (GA-09), Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Jody Hice (GA-10), Mary Miller (IL-15), Markwayne Mullin (OK-02), Ralph Norman (SC-05), Greg Steube (FL-17), Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02), and Dan Bishop (NC-09) cosponsored this resolution. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

Congresswoman Boebert stated, “Last year I had the privilege of nominating 15 of some of the Third District’s best and brightest to the U.S. Service Academies. These patriotic young men and women have committed to serving at least five years in the military following graduation. The next generation of rising military leaders are public servants that care about America. I look forward to the selection process this year and can’t wait to meet our district’s applicants. Good luck!” Background: If you are a high school student interested in serving our country by attending a military academy, or if you know of a high school student who might be interested, the service academy nomination application is now open. The Fall 2023 deadline for applications is October 14, 2022. Members of Congress are able to nominate candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. Service Academies: U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Joe Biden’s America Last regime hit a new low when they unilaterally implemented a bureaucratic notice that will allow terrorist affiliates to enter the United States. Supporters of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Hezbollah are just a few of the individuals who stand to benefit from this determination issued by Secretaries Mayorkas and Blinken. We cannot make it easier for friends of terrorists to enter our country and gain legal status. 11 of my colleagues and I are demanding answers for this dangerous bureaucratic determination.” Background: On June 23, 2022, the Biden regime issued a notice of determination that attempts to utilize 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(3)(B)(i), a narrow exemption in immigration law, to excuse certain foreign nationals from terrorism related grounds of inadmissibility (TRIG). This essentially skirts the Immigration and Nationality Act’s provisions denying admission to any alien who has engaged in terrorist activity or has known terrorist ties. However, the soft-on-terrorism Biden regime has announced that it will start welcoming foreign nationals who have been affiliated with terrorist organizations into our country with open arms. Members of Congress that joined Rep. Boebert in this effort include: Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Paul Gosar (AZ-04), Mary Miller (IL-15), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Troy Nehls (TX-22), Scott Perry (PA-10), Clay Higgins (LA-03), Greg Steube (FL-17), Lance Gooden (TX-05), and Ralph Norman (SC-05).

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, "Biden’s latest Colorado land grab is another example of this radical regime's deliberate assault on American energy and the economy. While Coloradans are facing historically high gas prices, the Biden regime is using every excuse and tactic in the book to block responsible domestic energy production. Instead of creating affordable gas and jobs under the highest standards in the world, Biden would rather fly with his entourage overseas to beg and fist bump the Saudi Prince to try and convince him to produce more foreign oil. Mayor Pete’s solution for high gas prices is to tell Americans to just buy a new electric vehicle. They couldn’t be more out of touch. I encourage everyone that is tired of wildfires and high gas prices to submit a comment in opposition to this Colorado land grab.” Background: This week, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) noticed a reckless land grab that will block oil and gas development amongst other important activities on 8.3 million acres of public land and an additional 27 million acres of subsurface mineral estate. As a result, responsible oil and gas development will be halted, active forest management and important timber projects will be prevented, and Coloradans will have higher gas prices and more wildfires. Americans can submit comments in opposition to this terrible proposal through September 2, 2022, by clicking here or mailing a letter to BLM Colorado State Office, Attn: Big Game Corridor Amendment/EIS, 2850 Youngfield St., Lakewood, CO 80215. Since taking office, Congresswoman Boebert has strived to increase energy production and fought federal land grabs. Responsibly developing the natural resources of the United States is critical to energy independence. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

This week, the House of Representatives passed nine of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s legislative priorities. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “Congress controls the power of the purse. I was able to pass nine important provisions for Colorado’s Third District through the House. These legislative victories will provide important resources for our first responders, education, supporting farmers and ranchers, combatting Western drought and invasive species, keeping our federal highways safe and open for travel, and effectively managing our forests. Importantly, several of these policy provisions came from needs identified at meetings in the district. I’ll continue to push as hard as I can for meaningful solutions that benefit the American people and our local communities.” Background: On July 20, 2022, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 8294, a package of six appropriations bills. Specifically, the package included Transportation and Housing and Urban Development; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration; Energy and Water Development; Financial Services and General Government; Interior and Environment; and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations bills for fiscal year 2023. While Congresswoman Boebert opposed final passage of the bill due to reckless spending levels and a slew of “woke” policy concerns, she worked with the Appropriations Committee to secure nine of her individual requests for Colorado’s Third District in the package.

Boebert Introduces Bill to Repeal Rino Gun Grab | 2022-07-14 | 2022 | 2022-07 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Rep. Lauren Boebert led 28 of her colleagues in introducing the Shall Not Be Infringed Act. This bill seeks to repeal the so-called “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act,” legislation that was signed into law after numerous RINOs broke rank and failed to defend the Second Amendment. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated, “The so-called ‘Bipartisan Safer Communities Act’ tramples on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens and will have no significant impact in stopping mass shootings and deterring gun violence. This poorly written law was negotiated behind closed doors by a small group of Senate RINOs that do not reflect the interests and values of the American people. Shockingly, this bill was rushed to the floor a few days after introduction and didn’t receive a single Congressional hearing or markup despite the legal implications for millions of gun owners in America. Rather than hardening building security and allowing resources to be spent on training and staffing schools with more armed personnel, this bill seeks to bribe states with promises of Washington money for adopting red-flag gun seizure laws. The Shall Not Be Infringed Act fully repeals this unconstitutional bill and defends the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.” Background: In June, President Biden signed into law S. 2938, which passed Congress when 15 Senate and 14 House RINOs teamed up with Democrats to pass the most radical gun grab package in nearly three decades. This terrible public law seeks to implement “backdoor” universal background checks by reclassifying private sellers as gun dealers, and was widely criticized for incentivizing states to adopt unconstitutional red-flag gun seizure laws, extending background checks for adults under 21-years-old, creating criminal prohibitions on straw purchases, disarming teachers, increasing the likelihood that someone selling a gun from their personal collection will catch a federal gun charge, and more.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “The radical left believes in abortion at all costs. AOC, Senator Warren, and the rest of the Genocide Squad will not rest until every baby in America is at risk. Democrats want Americans to visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, see the wonders of God’s creation, and then after a day of hiking stop by an abortion mill and kill their baby. It is beyond disgusting and absurd that these Leftists want to build abortion facilities on America’s public lands in states where abortion is now restricted. America’s unborn sons and daughters, who are our future, should be protected. My bill ensures extremists won’t be able to use federal lands and military bases to circumvent the SCOTUS decision and state laws to perform abortions on federal lands.” Background: Far-left radicals like AOC and Elizabeth Warren have suggested that Biden build abortion death camps on federal lands as a way of circumventing state laws and the recent SCOTUS decision that protect the right to life. Twenty-five far-left Senators even signed a letter calling on Biden to allow abortion facilities to operate on federal land. This far-left legal theory has no place in America, and Congresswoman Boebert’s bill will put a stop to it before it begins. Specifically, Congresswoman Boebert’s legislation prohibits any entity of the federal government from allowing abortion facilities to operate on federal land, including: military bases, national parks, national forests, public lands, or buildings and land occupied by any federal agency.

EPA, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert issued the following statement: “Our government of the people, by the people, for the people is meant to be led by the people’s elected Representatives, not unaccountable bureaucrats. Congress never gave the EPA the power to dictate the minutia of how energy producers should produce energy for every power plant across the country. It was wrong for Obama and his agency minions to attempt to usurp Congress’ power to begin with, and I am grateful that the Supreme Court returned power to the people and restored the separation of powers. “Good riddance to the EPA’s Green New Deal-like executive mandates. We are facing the most pressing energy crisis since Jimmy Carter, yet the Biden regime is more focused on shutting down American energy production than delivering reliable, affordable energy to keep the lights on and gas prices low. Climate ideologues are out-of-touch with the American people, and I am grateful that their war on coal was found unconstitutional. The Supreme Court again made the right decision and courageously defended the Constitution’s separation of powers. Executive agencies have the power to enforce the law, not make it.” Background: In December 2021, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert signed an amicus brief in support of West Virginia arguing that the EPA had gone beyond its statutory authority and infringed on Congress’ exclusive legislative power. An independent economic analysis found that the so-called “Clean Power Plan” would have killed 226,000 jobs annually and cost the U.S. economy $50 billion each year. In February of 2016, the Supreme Court issued an order on a 5-4 vote that blocked Obama’s so-called “Clean Power Plan” from taking effect. The Trump administration agreed that Obama’s job-killing mandates exceeded the EPA’s regulatory authority, so they repealed it and replaced it with the less extreme Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The solution to high gas prices is simple: drill baby drill. We have an abundance of domestic natural resources just waiting to be unleashed. America produces energy cleaner and safer than anyone else in the world. Sadly, the Biden regime decided to unilaterally shut down American energy dominance on day one and we are all paying the price at the pump. The Biden regime has proven time and time again that it would rather pander to extremists and rely on dirty foreign oil than safely produce American energy that creates American jobs. It’s time to restore American energy dominance and reduce gas prices which is exactly what my bill will do. “If the Biden regime fails to act, my bill will hold them accountable by imposing a hiring freeze at the Department of the Interior. If the American people cannot get affordable energy, the Biden regime should not be able to hire more bureaucrats to create more red tape.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert’s Fueling American Prosperity Act will reduce gas prices and restore American energy dominance in the following ways: By resuming canceled oil and gas leases. The Biden regime canceled three massive oil and gas lease sales on May 11th to pander to radical enviros. Congresswoman Boebert’s Fueling American Prosperity Act will undo this terrible decision and execute these leases as originally scheduled. Requiring the Biden regime immediately resume onshore lease sales. Requiring the Biden regime to submit a new 5-year offshore oil and gas leasing program. Expediting the bureaucratic regulatory process. While the national price of gas is greater than $3.99 per gallon, the bill expedites the regulatory process for producing energy without compromising safety.

This case struck down New York’s gun laws in which Americans are only allowed to carry handguns outside of their homes if government bureaucrats are persuaded that they have a proper cause. This is the biggest legal victory for the Second Amendment in over a decade, and I’m proud to have been a part of it. For the first time in my lifetime, millions of Americans trapped in may issue states will finally have access to their Second Amendment right to self-defense.” Background: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Our men and women in uniform deserve to have the equipment, resources, and training they need to effectively accomplish their missions. The legislative wins I was able to get into the defense bill are big wins for Colorado that will help provide for our national defense while also ensuring we are prudently using taxpayer dollars.” Background: Seven of Congresswoman Boebert’s legislative provisions were passed by the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense with bipartisan support, including: The subcommittee allocated $500 million for the Israeli Cooperative Program to support our critical national security alliance. (Section 8073). Congresswoman Boebert submitted an appropriations request asking for “the necessary resources” for U.S.-Israel missile defense programs. The subcommittee allocated $80 million for Israel’s Iron Dome defense system, which has intercepted more than 4,000 rockets fired by terrorists. The subcommittee allocated $127 million for the Short Range Ballistic Missile Defense program. The subcommittee allocated $173 million for the Arrow System Improvement Program to detect incoming missiles. The subcommittee authorized full funding for the development and modernization of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program (Section 8108). Congresswoman Boebert submitted an appropriations request to support the F-35 program and to specifically support the Colorado Air National Guard. The subcommittee increased F-35 aircraft buys from Biden’s budget request of 33 aircraft to 61 aircraft. Congresswoman Boebert’s appropriations request will support Colorado, since the F-35 program supports 1,840 jobs annually in Colorado and injects $226.8 million into the state’s economy. The subcommittee prohibited using Department of Defense travel funds at strip clubs or casinos (Section 8103). Congresswoman … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The Glenwood Springs’ South Bridge Project has strong local support including $24 million in local matching dollars. This project is critical to provide a secondary evacuation route in the event of a wildfire, coal seam fire, or other natural disaster threatening Glenwood Springs. This worthwhile project will also help reduce congestion along the I-70 corridor. I am grateful to local officials for working with me on this issue in a bipartisan manner, and I look forward to seeing the South Bridge Project completed.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert has worked closely with local officials on the South Bridge project. In September 2021, Congresswoman Boebert met with Glenwood Springs Mayor Jonathan Godes to discuss her support of infrastructure projects to improve the I-70 corridor. In May, Congresswoman Boebert hosted Glenwood Springs Mayor Jonathan Godes, City Council Member Ingrid Wussow, City Attorney Karl Hanlon, and City Manager Debra Figueroa for a bipartisan meeting in her D.C. office to discuss the South Bridge Project. Additionally, Congresswoman Boebert discussed her I-70 Detour Act to direct the Department of Transportation to study improvements to alternate routes and mitigate the impacts of extended I-70 closures. Currently, the only paved access route to Glenwood Springs’ South Corridor is via Four Mile Road, Midland Avenue and 27th Street Bridge, which are vulnerable to closure during natural and man-made disasters. A second bridge is necessary to ensure safe travel and access for emergency vehicles. Evacuation modeling for the City of Glenwood Springs indicates that in the event of a catastrophic wildfire, the South Bridge would save countless lives that would otherwise be lost due to a backup of vehicles evacuating over Midland Avenue to the 27th Street Bridge.

Lauren Boebert Champions Rural Water Issues, Fights to Deliver Funding for Improved Water Storage and Delivery Projects | 2022-06-14 | 2022 | 2022-06 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Congresswoman Lauren Boebert issued her strong support for the joint Water Conservancy District’s grant application seeking assistance from the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve 566 water storage and delivery projects throughout the San Luis Valley. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “My top three priorities are water, water, and water. Rural Colorado’s water supply must be expanded, especially during times of drought. I am a champion for water policies that deliver solutions, and these projects will add thousands of acre-feet of water storage.” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert strongly supports the San Luis Valley Water Conservancy District’s, the Conejos Water Conservancy District’s, and the Alamosa-La Jara Water Conservancy District’s grant application for NRCS funding. By streamlining water storage and delivery projects, resources from this grant will help reduce costs and deliver results for the San Luis Valley by improving 566 water storage and delivery projects. If approved, the grant could lead to thousands of acre-feet more water storage, improved ditches, and restored stream banks and channels Locally driven solutions with strong support deserve significant consideration in this time of historic drought. Congresswoman Boebert continues to champion water issues for Colorado’s Third District including: Congresswoman Boebert advocated for the San Luis Valley and successfully helped defeat plans to steal seven billion gallons of water per year and pump it to the Denver suburbs. One of Congresswoman Boebert’s first pieces of legislation was the Western Water Security Act, legislation that protects private water rights, defends against federal water grabs, and upholds state water law. Congresswoman Boebert introduced the 30x30 Termination Act to prevent federal water grabs. At a House Committee on Natural Resources’ forum, Congresswoman Boebert advocated for more water storage projects throughout the West and to protect and preserve existing water storage projects that… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |

Lauren Boebert Introduces Legislation to Classify Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction | 2022-06-13 | 2022 | 2022-06 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | In response to the rising fentanyl deaths caused by the Biden Border Crisis, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced the “Fentanyl is a WMD Act” to classify fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Back home in Colorado, almost everyone I talk to knows someone who has died from fentanyl. Fentanyl is America’s silent killer and is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45. The saddest thing about the fentanyl crisis is that it is preventable. National security experts know that the vast majority of deadly fentanyl plaguing our communities comes across the southern border. Just last year, Border Patrol encountered enough fentanyl at the border to kill every American seven times over. There is no way around it—the Biden Border Crisis is killing Americans. It is time to call fentanyl what it is: a weapon of mass destruction that is destroying our nation.” Background: By listing fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, Congresswoman Boebert’s legislation will direct the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to allocate resources to stopping the scourge that fentanyl has unleashed on our nation. This policy innovation will increase interagency coordination to stop fentanyl and will increase resources for technology development, deployment of sensors to detect fentanyl, and analytical data-based decision-making. This additional support will assist our brave men and women of Border Patrol who are already serving on the front lines to interdict deadly fentanyl flowing into our country across the porous southern border. Fentanyl has already been used as a weapon of mass destruction. In 2002, the Russian military deployed an aerosolized form of fentanyl against terrorists holding hostages in a Moscow theater. Congresswoman Boebert’s legislation only targets the illicit use of fentanyl. It will not interfere with legal, medical use of fentanyl, as is standard with weapons of mass destruction classifications. For inst… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |

Lauren Boebert Takes Action to Prevent GITMO Prisoners from Coming to America | 2022-06-09 | 2022 | 2022-06 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced the No Transferring GITMO Terrorists to America Act to prevent Biden from building a new facility on American soil to replace the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and prevent Biden from transferring or releasing known terrorists at Guantanamo into the United States. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “Terrorists should never be allowed to step foot on American soil. Democrats are calling for terrorists to be released from Guantanamo or to be moved to prisons across the country, including in Colorado. My bill confronts this destructive rhetoric and keeps these terrorists right where they belong: behind bars and out of America. While Biden was Vice President, the Obama regime released 196 terrorists from Guantanamo; unsurprisingly, many of those individuals have returned to terrorism killing American soldiers and civilians. After Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan failure, I think the country has had enough of his soft-on-terrorism strategy.” Background: Four members of the Taliban that were released when Biden was vice president are now leading the Afghanistan terrorist regime as the director of intelligence, the deputy defense minister, the minister of borders and tribal affairs, and the minister of information and culture. Even though the 2022 NDAA prohibits closing Guantanamo, Democrats are trying to circumvent the law and close it anyways. At Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing, Democrats proposed moving the terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo to Florence, Colorado. Rep. Boebert’s No Transferring GITMO Terrorists to America Act will prevent the Biden regime from building a new facility on American soil to replace the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, and stop the Biden regime from transferring or releasing terrorists at Guantanamo into the United States. Reps. Elise Stefanik (NY-21), Ken Buck (CO-04), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Doug Lamborn (CO-05, Mary Miller IL-15), Bill Posey (FL-08), and John Moolenaar (MI-04) joined the Congresswoman in introdu… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “Congratulations to Kylee Smith from Walsenburg, Colorado for winning the 2022 Congressional Art Competition. Her piece, Momma’s Meadow, beautifully captures Fisher’s Peak, one of the grandest landmarks in southern Colorado. I am excited to show off her artwork to constituents and other Members of Congress as they pass by it while entering the Capitol. What makes Kylee’s talent even more impressive is that she is a homeschooled student, and her artistic talent is mostly self-taught. Kylee’s grandmother was a painter, and it is amazing to see Kylee carry that legacy on through her amazing artwork. “I’d also like to congratulate Amber Yoakum and Ulayna Madril from Centennial High School in Pueblo and Claire Elise Rasmussen from Palisade High School for being named honorable mentions in the 2022 Congressional Art Competition. To honor their achievements, each one of them will have their artwork displayed in my District Offices in Grand Junction, Pueblo, and Durango. Finally, I’d like to congratulate and thank all of the contestants for submitting entries for the 2022 Congressional Art Competition. It was such a competitive year, and all the students’ work was truly remarkable. I am always amazed to see Colorado students’ artistic talent.” Background: High school sophomore Kylee Smith from Walsenburg won the 2022 Congressional Art Competition with her piece, Momma’s Meadow. Her artwork will be displayed for one year in the Cannon Tunnel to the U.S. Capitol, where Members of Congress and over 1 million visitors per year will see it as they enter the Capitol. Kylee Smith and one family member will be invited to D.C. for an awards ceremony and reception in the U.S. Capitol unveiling her artwork. The invitation will include free airfare to D.C.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “The Biden regime is going around the law by implementing its 30x30 land grab to lock up 30% of public and private property and water by 2030 without providing for public comment or following other required legal procedures. The National Environmental Protection Act clearly requires the federal government to create an Environmental Impact Statement for major federal actions and open a forum for public comment. If a minor project like building a shed in a national park requires an Environmental Impact Statement, surely a massive endeavor like locking up 30% of the landmass and waters of the entire United States requires one. This is the largest land grab in American history, and the American public deserves far more transparency from the Biden regime. What are they trying to hide?” Background: In one of his first actions since taking office, Joe Biden issued Executive Order 14008 to codify enviros’ pipe dream of locking up 30% of all public and private property and water by 2030. According to the Department of Interior, 12% of land in the United States is “permanently protected” and 23% of water in the United States is “strongly protected.” Therefore, to reach its goal, the 30x30 initiative must lock up an additional 681 million additional acres in the next 8 years. For context, the federal government already has 111 million acres locked up in wilderness status and owns more than 640 million acres. Even if every acre of federal land were designated wilderness (which is not possible given expansive federal facilities like military bases, etc.) the federal government would still need to lock up 40 million acres of private land to reach its goal. For comparison, 40 million acres is almost the size of North Dakota. The 30x30 initiative was cooked up by George Soros’ Center for American Progress.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “Today is a great day for free speech. The Disinformation Governance Board is effectively dead and Scary Poppins is out of work and will no longer be able to censor conservatives as the Biden regime’s Minister of Truth. While we were successful in defending free speech from this attack, the fight is not over. The Biden regime has been unrelenting in its assault on the First Amendment. This is America not China. I will continue to fight to ensure the people are not silenced by Biden bureaucrats and Big Tech.” Background: Today, in response to criticism from Republicans Congress led by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Disinformation Czar Nina Jankowicz resigned and DHS’s new Disinformation Governance Board was placed on “pause”. Last week, Congresswoman Boebert led a press conference with Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus Scott Perry, GOP Conference Vice-Chair Mike Johnson, and Rep. August Pfluger supporting her bill, the Protecting Free Speech Act, which would terminate the DHS's Disinformation Board and prevent any similar boards from being created in the future. To date, 73 Members of Congress have cosponsored Congresswoman Boebert’s Protecting Free Speech Act including: Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, RSC Chairman Jim Banks, Doug Lamborn, Jim Jordan, Rick W.

Lauren Boebert Introduces the Trust the Science Act to Remove the Gray Wolf from the Endangered Species List | 2022-05-16 | 2022 | 2022-05 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Reps. Lauren Boebert and Tom Tiffany led 21 Members of Congress in introducing the Trust the Science Act to permanently delist the gray wolf in the lower 48 and ensure that action is not subject to judicial review. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated, “The science is clear, the gray wolf is fully recovered. It shouldn’t be tougher to delist a recovered species than it is to list a species that warrants protection. For far too long, activist judges and extremist environmentalists have weaponized the Endangered Species Act in order to lock up our lands. The gray wolf listing has also led to countless killings of livestock. The Trust the Science Act empowers states and puts people ahead of violent predators based on actual science. Its far past time that we removed leftist politics from listing decisions.” Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) said, “Despite the fact that the gray wolf has recovered well past its recovery goal post, radical environmentalists, with help from a California judge, have re-listed the gray wolf, posing an immediate threat to livestock, farmers, and pet owners in Wisconsin. The Biden administration must follow the science, as they claim to do, by having Secretary Haaland remove ESA protections from species no longer warranting them.” Ranking Member of the House Committee on Natural Resources Bruce Westerman (AR-04) stated, “The current situation with the gray wolf clearly highlights the shortcomings of the Endangered Species Act. Despite ample scientific and commercial evidence indicating the gray wolf is recovered and no longer needs ESA protections, a federal court intervened and ignored the science. It is time we fix the ESA to accomplish its original intent: recovering species on the brink of extinction and delisting them when they recover. The gray wolf no longer needs the robust protections of the ESA, and those taxpayer dollars should be spent recovering wildlife that actually need help. Congresswoman Boebert and Congressman Tiffany have been leaders on this issue for our committee, and I’m pro… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:29:07Z |

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said at the press conference, “I’m honored to join my colleagues in this important effort to terminate Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board or more accurately known as the Department of Propaganda. I appreciate Leader McCarthy and the House Leadership for standing shoulder to shoulder with us in the effort to preserve free speech… “…Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake, free speech is under attack in America. “The Biden regime continuously uses different methods to try and silence dissenting voices. All in a coordinated effort to keep power, silence the truth, and prevent people who disagree with them from having a voice. “We know that the White House colluded with Big Tech to censor the American people. “We know that the Department of Justice tried to silence moms and dads by calling them domestic terrorists, just for having a say in their children’s education and attending school board meetings. “And we know that conservative journalists have been targeted by federal agencies for simply reporting the truth. This cannot continue. “We’re here today to advocate for my bill, the Protecting Free Speech Act, which will terminate the new DHS Disinformation Governance Board. “Now the DHS is a militant arm of the government. They have enforcement mechanisms for their Disinformation Governance Board. “We want to be sure no tax dollars are used for any similar government overreach. “Misinformation has become a rallying cry for the Left to discredit facts that are inconvenient to their liberal agenda.

This week, the Honor Flight Network, the National Park Service (NPS), and the United States Park Police (USPP) positively responded to that request and announced the resumption of regularly scheduled Honor Flights for veterans visiting memorials in Washington, D.C., and also that the agencies will resume services supporting Honor Flight visits starting June 1. Congresswoman Boebert stated, "Our nation’s veterans are true heroes and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Honor Flights are once-in-a-lifetime experiences and their last trip to our nation’s capital for many. The least we can do is welcome veterans appropriately and thank them for their sacrifices. Restoring these important services for America’s heroes is an important victory.” Background: Since 2005, the Honor Flight Network has brought 250,000 veterans from across our nation to visit war memorials in their honor throughout Washington, D.C. The veterans who travel on these trips need the assistance of the United States Park Police and their police escort services due to limited parking and access issues around the monuments that cause navigation difficulties for veterans, particularly those confined to wheelchairs. Unfortunately, these services stopped in 2020. On April 11, Congresswoman Boebert and 75 other Members in the House of Representatives sent a letter to the Department of the Interior requesting they immediately resume these services for veterans participating in Honor Flights. The Honor Flight Network, NPS, and USPP positively responded to that letter and announced the resumption of regularly scheduled Honor Flights and support services starting June 1.

Congresswoman Boebert stated, “The CORE Act is effectively dead this Congress. Despite roughly 65% of the lands impacted by this bill being in my district, I was never consulted on this bill. Reasonable changes proposed by former Senator Cory Gardner and local stakeholders were also ignored and not incorporated in the latest land grab, despite false claims that this bill is what the people on the ground want. The CORE Act would also accelerate wildfires due to its numerous wilderness designations and other provisions that restrict federal agencies’ ability to actively manage their lands. Proposals to lock up more land may generate campaign checks from the enviros for out-of-touch leftists, but they don’t result in good public policy. I will continue to fight partisan land grabs and to ensure access for the American people to our public lands.” Background: For nearly a decade, leftists and extremists have been trying to pass different versions of the CORE Act to lock up nearly 400,000 acres in Colorado, the majority of which are in the Third Congressional District. At a time of record-high gas prices, shockingly the bill also sought to permanently prevent responsible oil and gas production on nearly 200,000 acres. This permanent withdrawal is a solution in search of a problem since the area of controversy is already administratively withdrawn. Following Biden's failed energy policies, there has never been a time more essential to strive to become more energy independent. Our nation cannot endure more egregious land grabs that aim to prevent responsible energy production and multiple-use of public lands. Last year, when Democrats tried to sneak the CORE Act and Rep.

Lauren Boebert led 61 of her colleagues in introducing the Protecting Free Speech Act to terminate the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board, also known as the “Ministry of Truth”, and prohibit any federal funds from being used to establish or carry out the activities of any other entity that is substantially similar. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “The Department of Homeland Security should not be in the business of censoring free speech on Twitter and Facebook. Following in the steps of Mao and Stalin, Biden’s unconstitutional, dystopian “Department of Propaganda” is trampling on the First Amendment and trying to control what people can and can’t say. Instead of treating Orwell’s book 1984 as a warning, the Left appears to be using it as an outline for their agenda. These efforts are un-American and a direct attack on our freedoms. We the People will not be silent.” House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (LA-01) said, “The Biden Administration’s Soviet-style ‘Ministry of Truth’ is an Orwellian attempt by Washington Democrats to punish anyone who disagrees with their big government socialist agenda by deeming opposing views as disinformation. This isn’t Democrats’ first attempt to limit free speech. For years, Democrats at the highest levels of power pushed the fake Russia collusion hoax to discredit President Trump and his supporters. It was the Biden Administration who labeled concerned parents at school board meetings as ‘domestic terrorists,’ and it was President Biden who caved to teachers union bosses, and kept kids out of the classroom, instead of following the science. I applaud Congresswoman Boebert for leading the charge to prevent taxpayer money from funding President Biden’s radical misinformation board, which would stifle the First Amendment and free speech.” House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21) stated, “I will always stand up for Americans’ First Amendment right to free speech.

Lauren Boebert and Dan Bishop led several of their colleagues in introducing the Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act to prohibit the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from jeopardizing national security in the name of woke, transgender policy. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated, “If you doubt the Biden regime is on a woke crusade to remake America in its own image, then look no further than the TSA’s new trans screening policies. Decreasing pat-downs and identity validation measures for people identifying as transgender might validate delusional leftists, but it does nothing for passenger safety. In fact, they are practically inviting terrorists to take advantage of our weak and woke security systems. The TSA literally has one job—and this isn’t it.” Rep. Ralph Norman said, “Security is not a gender issue, it’s a safety issue. Allowing woke transgender policy to dictate TSA processes sets a dangerous precedent.” Rep. Byron Donalds stated, “Democrats are engaging in a relentless crusade against our nation's fabric and the values that make us exceptional. Look no further than promoting biological males competing in female sports, teaching gender fluidity and identity in elementary school, and now removing gender identification from security screening procedures by the TSA. I am proud to stand up against this lunacy and support the Securing Americans from Transportation Insanity Act to prohibit this extreme ideology that threatens our national security and rejects science.” Rep. Bob Good said, “The leftist woke agenda is a threat to our national security! First, it was throwing open our Southern Border – now it’s the security of our airports. Making travel ‘gender-neutral’ is not only ridiculous and unscientific, it makes it harder to keep us safe. The government’s job is to protect Americans – not liberal’s feelings.” Rep. Matt Gaetz stated, “The TSA’s newly announced ‘gender-neutral screening process’ doesn’t enhance the state of our national security, it diminishes it.

Rep. Boebert stated, “Living in Silt, I experience the frustration first-hand when I-70 closes. Left with no viable alternatives, travelers, truckers, and workers are forced to either change their plans, take a five-plus hour detour, or travel treacherous dirt roads to get where they are going. The I-70 Detour Act is a locally-driven solution to ensure commerce, tourism and the West Slope don’t come to a screeching halt the next time a natural disaster or major traffic accident closes down I-70 for an extended period of time. The time is now and we can’t squander another 20 years talking about how we need to fix I-70.” Colorado State Rep. Matt Soper said, “For years I’ve called for a viable alternative route to I-70’s Glenwood Canyon, I enthusiastically support Congresswoman Boebert’s bill to study alternative routes for I-70. Closures of I-70 in Glenwood Canyon have not only persisted this past year, but also in prior years. The interstate highway is the only major East-West transportation corridor in Colorado and is critical for public safety, commerce, industry, and farmers. As the son of a truck driver, I can tell you, Congresswoman Boebert’s bill is essential for finally being able to create a viable alternative transportation route for West Slope residents affected by the closure of Glenwood Canyon.” Colorado State Rep. Perry Will stated, “I support such a study for alternative routes, from a commerce perspective to safety issues of rerouting traffic up Hwy 13 and over to Steamboat Springs. This cannot wait, the economic devastation to our local communities due to Glenwood Canyon closures must be addressed.” Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Diane Schwenke said, “We simply cannot afford to wait for the … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:19:30Z |

Lauren Boebert (CO-03) and Tom Tiffany (WI-07) led 22 additional Members of Congress in a letter to Department of the Interior Secretary Haaland encouraging her to appeal a recent decision by an activist California judge that failed to follow the best available science and instead, through his decision, restored Endangered Species Act protections for the gray wolf in most states, despite the wolf being fully recovered. Rep. Lauren Boebert said, “The gray wolf is fully recovered, should remain delisted in the lower 48 United States, and should be managed by the States. It’s really that simple. Some activist judge from California shouldn’t be able to overturn the best available science and contradict the law based on his own leftist political beliefs. The same career bureaucrats that worked at the Department of the Interior under the Trump administration that found the gray wolf is fully recovered are still working at the Department. The science hasn’t changed, and Secretary Haaland should appeal the unlawful decision by the California judge. I will continue to fight for our ranchers and to protect their livestock from these dangerous predators.” Rep. Tom Tiffany stated, “Unelected bureaucrats and California judges do not know what is best for Wisconsin’s wolf management – state officials do. Farmers, sportsmen, and families are tired of being seesawed from listings to de-listings. If the Biden administration truly wants to follow the science, then they need to start by looking at the recovery facts and return gray wolf management back to where it belongs, in states’ hands.” House Committee on Natural Resources Ranking Member Bruce Westerman said, “It’s high time we trust the science with regard to ESA delisting. The gray wolf is recovered. Despite ample scientific and commercial evidence indicating the gray wolf is truly recovered, a federal court intervened and ignored the evidence. DOI must appeal this decision so that the science can prevail with the gray wolf and into the future.” Chairman of the Wes… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:19:30Z |

Boebert Takes Action to Remove Invasive Salt Cedar and Russian Olives | 2022-04-04 | 2022 | 2022-04 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is taking action to combat invasive salt cedar and Russian olive trees plaguing the Third District. Congresswoman Boebert said, “Russian olive and salt cedars are invasive species, and they hurt our environment, waste precious water resources, and cause big game to leave their habitats. In addition to my letter of support of Montezuma County’s grant application, I am also submitting an appropriations request to secure federal support for noxious weed reduction efforts designed to combat drought in Colorado. The federal government brought the Russian olive and salt cedars to Western states, and now it is needed to help save our ecosystems.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert is aggressively working to remove invasive salt cedar and Russian olive trees that are guzzling water in Colorado and the West. Rep. Boebert recently hosted a meeting with approximately 30 environmental, hydrology, and noxious weeds experts from southwest Colorado. They discussed effective strategies to manage water resources, restore native habitats, and preserve Colorado’s unique ecology. Rep. Boebert sent a letter of support for the Montezuma County Noxious Weed Department’s grant application to remove non-native Russian olive and salt cedars from 600 acres of land in the San Juan Watershed while replanting native species in their rightful habitat. Both the Russian olive and salt cedar were introduced in the 1900s by the federal government to act as windbreaks and to prevent erosion on streambanks. However, now these plants are known to be invasive and harmful to their ecosystems. These phreatophytes waste water. The roots of the Russian olive tunnel as deep as 40 feet into the ground, enabling it to steal water from all surrounding vegetation. Furthermore, phreatophytes consume vast amounts of water, with the salt cedar consuming about 200 gallons of water per day per plant. With the massive amounts of water they consume, salt cedars increase the risk and severity of wildfires in the riparian ecosystems th… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:19:30Z |

Working together in a bipartisan manner, we were able to deliver a significant victory for rural healthcare in Colorado. I would also like to give a special thank you to Rep. Soper who brought this issue to my attention and for leading the charge after the initial application was rejected. This important new status will increase care and access to important services in rural America and Delta County.” Jean Ceriani, Delta Health Board of Directors Chair, said, “We just want to thank Governor Jared Polis’ office, Senators Michael Bennet, John Hickenlooper, and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, and our state representative and fellow board member, Matt Soper for their support. Without their help, insight and advocacy for rural health, we could not have done this.” Member of the Delta Health Board of Directors and Colorado State Rep.

Lauren Boebert stated, “Emma Weyant was the fastest woman competing in the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s 500-Yard Freestyle, but her first-place win was stolen by a mediocre male athlete who couldn’t cut it in men’s swimming. Emma is a world-class student-athlete whose strong performances in the Summer Olympics and 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship speak for themselves. These victories, coupled with her leadership of other women on her team and her dedication to excellence are worthy of Congressional recognition. I will keep working to save women’s sports from woke ideology threatening to strip women of a level playing field.” Rep. Vicky Hartzler said, “Emma Weyant worked her whole life to compete in the NCAA women's swimming championships — only to be beaten by a biological male. This is a travesty for women’s sports and sets a horrific precedent for our future generations of female athletes. As a high school athlete and former track coach, I am proud to be a champion for women’s sports and stand up against men stealing their medals and erasing their years of hard work. Emma beat every woman in her race and deserves to be recognized as the rightful winner of the NCAA Division I Women’s 500-Yard Freestyle.” Rep. Mary Miller said, “No girl should be robbed of athletic opportunities by being forced to compete with biological males in school sports. These overreaching policies don’t empower women, they threaten our daughters’ safety, education, and opportunities.” Rep. Diana Harshbarger stated, “I am deeply disappointed that far-left ideology has gone so far as to help a man steal a deserved victory from a woman.

The winning artist's artwork will be on display for one year in the U.S. Capitol. “I’m always amazed at how incredibly gifted Colorado’s Third Congressional District’s students are,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “Colorado has some of the most talented artists in the nation, and I encourage them to take advantage of this remarkable opportunity to showcase their work in a national exhibit.” Background: The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, over 650,000 high school students have been involved with the nationwide competition. Last year, Arianna from Centennial High School in Pueblo won Colorado’s Third Congressional District’s 2021 Congressional Art Competition. Interested students should review 2022 Rules for Students and Teachers and complete the 2022 Student Release Form. Qualifying Students: Any High School Student in Colorado’s Third Congressional District. How to Submit Artwork: Students must have mailed or delivered their artwork to their respective Third Congressional District Regional Office by April 27, 2022.

Lauren Boebert’s legislative priorities for Colorado were signed into law. Congresswoman Boebert said, “I promised to provide a voice for the people and to fight tirelessly for our communities. Many of these important victories signed into law for Colorado and the Third District were ideas put forth by local stakeholders. These legislative victories will improve the lives of rural Americans and put America first.” Background: Nine of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s legislative priorities for Colorado were signed into law, including: $1.74 billion for Community Health Centers to serve rural communities; $515 million for the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program so counties can fund education, law enforcement, and infrastructure; $48 million for the U.S. Forest Service to address the bark beetle infestations ravaging Colorado and to actively manage our forests; $10 million for the Indian Irrigation Fund for the benefit of the Southern Ute Tribe; $1 million to compensate farmers for livestock lost to wolves; important pro-life protections like the Hyde and Weldon amendments; preventing the greater sage-grouse from being listed as an endangered species; important federal resources for NASA and Colorado’s space program; and exempting livestock haulers from burdensome Department of Transportation electronic logging device mandates. Specifically, Congresswoman Boebert’s legislative victories signed into law include: Securing $1.74 billion 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 Rep.

Congresswoman Boebert said, “Everyday Americans are faced with tough decisions on how to balance their checkbooks. Unfortunately, the government shows no such restraint, pummeling all of us with record-setting spending and runaway inflation. Nancy Pelosi and the Biden regime continue to spend like drunken sailors, and their spending addiction has fueled the highest inflation increase in more than 40 years. They have already passed bills into law to spend more than $4.5 trillion and are trying to spend at least another $5 trillion this year alone. Every few months, it seems like Congress comes up with another manufactured spending crisis so they can spend more of your hard-earned money. With annual deficits exceeding a trillion dollars and total debt surpassing $30 trillion, now is the time to take action to rein in wasteful government spending. We need a Balanced Budget Amendment to get our fiscal house in order and help tame inflation, not $1.5 trillion bills that are more than 2,700 pages that Members have less than 22 hours to read.” Rep. Norman stated, “Runaway spending will be the demise of this country if we don't deal with it now. We've eclipsed $30 trillion of debt this year and will double that before we know it at the rate we are used to spending. There is no excuse not to pass a balanced budget amendment.” Background: The national debt exceeds $30 trillion. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), that national debt held by the public ($23 trillion) has already exceeded the size of the entire economy. Our debt is fueled by endless deficit spending. In the first five months of this fiscal year, we borrowed an average of $3 billion a day. Congress has waived existing budget rules time after time and has proved unwilling to do alter its course. We need a Constitutional Amendment to force a Balanced Budget.

Gas is sitting at historically high prices. Nancy Pelosi's House just passed a $1.5 trillion bill that no one read. Using aid for Ukraine as the latest 'crisis' in order to pass $4 billion worth of earmarks and other misguided Biden priorities is corrupt. Congress and the American people shouldn't be presented with the false choice that the only way to support aid for Ukraine is to also pass a 2,741-page, drunken-sailor, monstrosity of a spending bill in less than 22 hours. "Many Americans struggle with excessive levels of foreign assistance given the federal government's failure to secure the border and address issues here at home. That's why my Ukraine Assistance and American Energy Acceleration Act reins in Pelosi's bloated foreign aid package and provides a targeted amount of military and humanitarian resources for Ukraine without using it as a political pawn. This bill also includes a real ban on oil and gas from Russia, Iran and Venezuela, and allows for responsible American energy production that will reduce gas prices." Background: Late last night, the House passed H.R. 2471, a 2,741-page omnibus spending bill consisting of all 12 fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills and supplemental funding that would provide $13.6 billion to Ukraine. Also, last night the House passed a watered-down bill that had non-binding and weak sanctions and bans on Russia and their oil and gas imports. There were a lot of terrible policy provisions and increased spending in H.R. 2471 that will only cause inflation to further increase. These include but aren't limited to: Includes $1.5 trillion of inflationary spending, including $730 billion for Democrat's domestic pet programs (a 6.7% increase) Includes funding for the Title X program, which provides funding to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood Fails to defund vaccine mandates Includes 2,727 earmarks totaling $4.2 billion, including Nancy Pelosi's heinous Presidio Trust earmark for luxury hotels and gol… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:06:17Z |

Lauren Boebert stated, “As co-chair of the Second Amendment Caucus, I am honored to join my friend, Congressman Michael Cloud in introducing the No REGISTRY Rights Act. Even though a federal firearms registry is prohibited by law, today, the ATF has records of nearly 1 billion firearm transactions. Like many law-abiding gun owners, I don’t trust the Biden regime or the federal government with this information. This bill ensures these records are deleted, restores privacy, and defends the Second Amendment.” Congressman Michael Cloud said, “The Second Amendment is clear, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. There is no reason for law-abiding American gun owners to be subjected to excessive scrutiny on the firearms they own by the federal government. My bill would dismantle ATF’s record keeping, restore privacy for American gun owners, and reverse the groundwork laid in the creation of a federal firearms registry.” Rep. Thomas Massie stated, “Governments should not have a list, in any country, of the people who possess the firearms meant to keep those very governments in check. Gun registries are precursors to gun confiscation and should not exist. As Co-Chair of the Second Amendment caucus, I applaud Rep. Cloud for introducing legislation directing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to delete existing transaction records that the Biden Administration is using to create a federal firearms registry.” Rep. Dan Bishop stated, “There is no excuse for the Biden Administration to violate the law by compiling massive amounts of data on America’s law-abiding gun owners. The casualness with which this Administration abuses constitutional rights is appalling. Every Republican, and every member of Congress for that matter, should be fighting this by cosponsoring Rep. Cloud’s No REGISTRY Rights Act.” Rep. Andrew Clyde said, “As a steadfast supporter of the Second Amendment and a Federal Firearms Licensee by trade, I find the ATF’s egregious abuse of power deep… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:06:17Z |

Lauren Boebert Supports San Luis Central Railroad’s Infrastructure Grant Application | 2022-02-24 | 2022 | 2022-02 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Congresswoman Lauren Boebert wrote a letter in strong support of the San Luis Central Railroad Company’s Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) competitive grant application. Rep. Boebert said, “A CRISI grant will help the San Luis Central Railroad Company fund important infrastructure improvements necessary to reduce the risk of derailment, decrease maintenance costs, and increase overall efficiency. The railroad provides critical services for the San Luis Valley’s agriculture-based economy and agriculture is the lifeblood of the San Luis Valley. I am proud to stand with the San Luis Valley Central Railroad, the farmers and ranchers who depend on it, and with southern Colorado’s agricultural community.” Image Background: On February 23, Rep. Boebert visited the San Luis Central Railroad and met with local stakeholders that will be impacted by the grant. The San Luis Central Railroad applied for a competitive grant from the Department of Transportation’s Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program. The San Luis Central Railroad will use the grant to replace 5.1 miles of cross and switch ties in order to improve safety and reduce the risk of derailment. Image CRISI grants are public-private partnerships that require a 25% private matching investment. The San Luis Central Railroad has substantial local support and will provide a $375,000 private sector match if awarded this grant. The San Luis Central Railroad has been serving the San Luis Valley for 109 years of continuous service. The San Luis Central Railroad is integral to the San Luis Valley’s nearly $1 billion agricultural economy that supports 28.3% of local jobs. In 2017, the railroad transported upwards of 75 million pounds of potatoes and 82 million pounds of grain. Image The full text of Rep.

Lauren Boebert announced the names of the 15 highly-motivated, patriotic, and intelligent students she nominated to attend the U.S. service academies. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated, “The 15 students I nominated to the U.S. service academies are some of the Third District’s best and brightest. I am inspired by their commitment to using their academic strengths, leadership potential, and unique talents in the service of our country. I wish these 15 students the best of success, and I look forward to following their careers as they serve our nation with distinction.” “While this year was extremely competitive, I know that each applicant, whether they received a nomination or not, will still go on to serve Colorado in amazing ways, and I’d like to thank everyone for applying. I’d also like to thank the veterans across Colorado’s Third District who served on my Academy Nomination Boards for their time and for traveling to Grand Junction and Pueblo to interview students applying for a highly competitive nomination to the U.S. service academies.” Background: Rep. Lauren Boebert’s competitive process to receive an academy nomination is based on the applicant’s academic strength, leadership potential, extracurricular involvement, and interview before the Academy Nomination Boards comprised of veterans from Colorado’s Third Congressional District—some of whom graduated from the U.S. service academies. Rep. Lauren Boebert nominated the following students to the respective U.S. service academies: The U.S. Coast Guard Academy does not require congressional nominations for an appointment, and no students from Colorado’s Third District applied for a nomination to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

Lauren Boebert Defends County-Level Emergency Services from Encroaching Federal Bureaucracy | 2022-02-11 | 2022 | 2022-02 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Rep. Lauren Boebert led an effort supported by 11 Members of Congress to protect county-level emergency services from encroaching federal bureaucracy by sending a letter to the U.S. Forest Service questioning its proposed regulation to charge users of emergency communication transponders exorbitant fees to continue using preexisting towers they already have access to. Rep. Lauren Boebert said, “The Forest Service’s proposal to significantly increase fees for communications towers utilized by counties appears to be a top-down, one-size-fits-all mandate drafted by some bureaucrat in Washington that doesn’t understand the West or rural communities. County emergency managers depend on affordable access to their emergency communications towers to assist rural communities when disaster strikes, including helping fight forest fires on Forest Service land. I greatly appreciate Montezuma County Emergency Manager Jim Spratlin for bringing this issue to my attention and the attention of other emergency managers throughout the West. The existing proposal is not well thought-out, needs revised, and the current comment period should be extended as a result.” Montezuma County Emergency Manager Jim Spratlen said, “Montezuma County has two emergency communications towers that will be affected by the new administrative fees, but we did not know about the proposed changes until after they were published in the Federal Register. This potentially violates the Federal Lands Management Act, which requires prior notification to local and state governments before federal actions are proposed. Additionally, this proposed change disrespects the work we have done to be good neighbors to federal lands. We allow the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service to use our Southwest Towers for free, but now they are thanklessly imposing new fees on us. This regulation’s comment period should be extended by 30 days to give emergency services departments across Colorado time to voice their concerns and to give the Forest Service time… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

Lauren Boebert Stands up for Property Rights and Calls for Increased Local Input on Sage-Grouse Landgrab Policies | 2022-02-08 | 2022 | 2022-02 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Vice-Chairwoman Lauren Boebert joined Chairman of the Western Caucus Dan Newhouse, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Natural Resources Bruce Westerman, and 20 additional Members of Congress in sending a letter to Interior Secretary Haaland urging an extension of the public comment period to ensure local stakeholders have a voice in any amendments the Biden regime attempts to make to the bipartisan, state-driven land use plans for greater sage-grouse conservation adopted by the Trump administration. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “The Biden regime’s sage-grouse landgrab policies are not about saving a mediocre bird that is legally hunted in 7 states, rather, they are about locking up tens of millions of acres of land in the West, closing off mineral and energy development, expanding the federal government’s power over rural Colorado, and destroying American jobs. By attempting to unilaterally ram through sage grouse land landgrab policies, the Biden regime has picked up where the Obama regime left off and shut out the voices of local communities impacted by its one-size-fits all, draconian overreach. Along with many of my Western Caucus colleagues, I have called on the Biden regime to extend the public comment period to allow rural communities in Colorado more time to voice their concerns about changes to federal land use policies that will negatively impact their livelihoods.” Background: Rep. Lauren Boebert is committed to protecting property rights for farmers, ranchers, families, and businesses across Colorado. During the House appropriations process, Rep. Boebert introduced an amendment and submitted an appropriations request to prohibit funding for any efforts to list the sage-grouse as an endangered species. For nearly a decade, extremist environmentalists have tried to use the non-endangered sage-grouse to lockup land across 173 million acres in 11 states. At their behest, the Obama regime even withdrew 10 million acres from mining and mineral exploration and then amended 98 land use plans to impos… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

Lauren Boebert called on Biden to stop shipping illegal aliens throughout the United States and demanded answers about the Biden regime’s failed Catch and Release program in an effort supported by 81 Members of Congress. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “The Biden regime has been shipping able-bodied adult men, that crossed our border illegally, by air and ground to their preferred destination. This madness has to stop! The harm that is being done to our families and communities from drugs and violence associated with illegal immigration is unquestionable. There is enough fentanyl currently in the U.S. to kill every American at least seven times over. Catch and release, and now ship, is the latest amnesty policy fueling the Biden Border Crisis. The solution to the border crisis is simple: do the opposite of what Biden is doing right now.” Background: The Biden regime is directing ICE to release illegal aliens with unenforceable Notices to Report. Tens of thousands of these illegal aliens have already slipped through the cracks, and they are now in America with no oversight or accountability. Rep. Boebert has a successful record on leading on border security issues and has visited the border three times since being elected to Congress. Additionally, Rep. Boebert introduced the Secure the Southern Border Act to end catch and release, build the wall, defund sanctuary cities, partner with state and local law enforcement to enforce immigration statutes, restore the remain in Mexico policy, and allow the National Guard to defend the homeland by bolstering the Border Patrol’s manpower. Rep. Boebert also introduced a bill and led a pressure campaign that resulted in the Biden administration dropping its plan to give illegal immigrants separated at the border $450,000 checks.

Lauren Boebert Introduces the No Taxpayer Funded Lawyers for Illegal Aliens Act | 2022-02-07 | 2022 | 2022-02 | Republican | House | CO | Lauren Boebert | B000825 | boebert.house.gov | boebert | https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Today, Rep. Lauren Boebert was joined by 18 of her colleagues in introducing the No Taxpayer Funded Lawyers for Illegal Aliens Act, which would prohibit taxpayer dollars from being funneled to illegal aliens for legal services and lawyers to help them stay in the United States and avoid deportation after breaking our immigration laws. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated, “Democrats want to treat border detention facilities like an Oprah Winfrey show. You get free education, a free plane ticket, free medical care, free housing, free food, and a free lawyer to avoid the consequences of breaking the law. The American people are tired of America last policies where they are being put behind illegal immigrants and footing the bill for freebies. The law clearly states that illegal aliens facing deportation do not have the right to a free attorney. Open-border extremists shouldn’t be funneling taxpayer dollars through NGO’s to circumvent the law. It’s called America First.” Rep. Scott Perry said, “Whether its donating to bail out domestic abusers, or using taxpayer funds to help illegal aliens break the law, the Biden Administration made it abundantly clear that law-abiding Americans must be treated as second-class citizens. Unacceptable, and it must end now.” Rep. Mary Miller stated, “Taxpayer dollars should never be given to people intentionally breaking our laws and illegally entering our country. We must put the safety of American citizens first.” Rep. Mo Brooks said, “Non-profit entities and the Biden Administration brazenly use taxpayer dollars for lawyers for illegal aliens to abuse American laws and courts and avoid the deportation they deserve. This heinous misuse of tax dollars to undermine the Rule of Law is emblematic of the Biden Administration’s extremely harmful policy of importing as many illegal aliens as they can as quickly as they can. I support doing whatever is necessary to see that no taxpayer funds go to lawyers for illegal aliens, and I thank Congresswoman Boebert for her leadership on this issue.” R… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

Lauren Boebert voted against the America CONCEDES Act—aka the so-called America “COMPETES” Act. Rep. Lauren Boebert stated: “Nancy Pelosi’s China bill does exactly what she has told American Olympians to do while at the games—it plays nice with the CCP. Instead of competing with China, the COMPETES Act sends $8 billion of taxpayer money to Beijing after being laundered by an unaccountable U.N. climate change slush fund that has already given over a hundred million dollars to China. Republicans tried to fix the problem through commonsense amendments preventing China from accessing that money, but Democrats voted them down. Instead of addressing concerns through bipartisan cooperation, Democrats’ tired solution was the same as it always is: just throw more money at the problem with no accountability. This rushed spending bill is a disaster for America, and will further bankrupt our economy, allow more Chinese spies to infiltrate American universities, and shift our military’s focus from combatting Chinese threats to instead combatting climate change. This wasteful legislation looks more like the Green New Deal than a serious national security bill.” “If Democrats were serious about competing with China, they would reverse Biden’s decision to cancel energy leases and critical mineral mining leases. Instead of importing our natural resources from countries under China’s malign influence, America should take the lead and produce American minerals and American energy in America. My top goal on the House Committee on Natural Resources is to put Colorado and America first—and that starts with using domestic resources.” Background: The $325 billion America CONCEDES Act contains too many awful provisions to list them all fully, but for starters, the bill: Allocates an unlimited number of green cards for foreign professors and researchers—already a well-known source of Chinese espionage. Directs the military to focus on training to go to battle against climate change. Funnels $8 billion of taxpayer money … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:57:46Z |

I am honored to be selected as the Communications Chair for the caucus, and I’ll work diligently to make sure the caucus’s message, and the powerful messages of each member, are delivered to the American people.” Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) stated: “I am honored to serve my House Freedom Caucus colleagues as Policy Chairman. The American people expect us to lead the fight against the woke agenda and tyranny the federal bureaucratic state and corporate cronies are forcing upon them. We must lead an unapologetic rededication to liberty and re-empowerment of the people.

Lauren Boebert joined House Committee on Natural Resources Ranking Member Bruce Westerman and 19 additional Republican Committee members in a letter demanding accountability for the Biden regime’s decision to delay domestic energy leasing and instead rely on foreign oil. Rep. Boebert stated: “I put the American roughneck ahead of OPEC, but Joe Biden can’t say the same. Biden is importing dirtier oil and gas from countries that hate America, emitting tons of CO2 importing energy on ships and tankers, and jacking up prices at the pump for middle-class families. Rather than draining our strategic oil reserve and increasing our dependency on foreign countries, there is a simpler solution: responsibly develop American energy. I support American energy dominance and stand with American energy workers and American families who are tired of paying a higher price at the pump. One of my first acts in Congress was to introduce the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act to nullify and defund Biden’s job-killing energy executive orders, and I will keep defending the people of Colorado from the heavy hand of the Biden regime.” Background: One of Biden’s first mandates was to place a moratorium on energy leasing on federal lands. Rep. Boebert responded with the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act to nullify and defund Biden’s executive orders targeting energy leasing, reinstate the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, and defend energy workers from future attacks. With the stroke of his pen, Biden harmed American energy workers, and Nancy Pelosi has continued to silence Americans by refusing to bring the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act to the House Floor for a vote. In response, Rep. Boebert and Congressman Chip Roy began a discharge petition on the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act to force a vote and put Democrats in Congress on the record to see if they stand with OPEC or the American roughneck. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana blocked Biden’s illegal unilateral action, but the Biden… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:50:39Z |
