https://boebert.house.gov/PJASigned Pueblo Jobs Act Signed Into Law! 2023-12-23 2023 2023-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Congresswoman Boebert’s Pueblo Jobs Act was signed into law as part of the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The passage of this bill will provide a much-needed economic boost in the region and create at least 1,000 jobs. This historic piece of legislation is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s first bill signed into law. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “The Pueblo Jobs Act will create at least a 1,000 new jobs in Pueblo and repurpose billions of dollars of infrastructure from the Pueblo Chemical Depot, providing southern Colorado with a much-needed economic boost. This bipartisan and bicameral effort was locally-driven and crafted from the bottom-up. Special thanks to the local officials, the House Armed Services Committee, and the outstanding individuals at PuebloPlex who worked with me to get this important legislation done.” Background: On Friday, the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was officially signed into law by the President. Congresswoman Boebert’s bipartisan Pueblo Jobs Act was a key element of this bill and will create at least 1,000 jobs following the closure of the Pueblo Chemical Depot. This legislation ensures that the federal government adheres to the rigorous Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process under the supervision of the Secretary of the Army. This strategic move provides certainty for Pueblo's economic landscape and fosters the creation of future employment opportunities. Back in 1988, the Base Closure Commission recommended the realignment of the Pueblo Chemical Depot, exempting 7,000 acres, including the Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) and additional facilities, from standard BRAC requirements. Congresswoman Boebert's Pueblo Jobs Act closes this loophole, safeguarding the multi-billion-dollar infrastructure investment represented by PCAPP and the additional facilities on the protected 7,000 acres. The bill ensures that this valuable infrastructure will actively contribute to Pueblo's prosperity, ra… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z
https://boebert.house.gov/Glenwoodfunding Boebert-Backed Glenwood Springs Project Receives $50 Million Grant 2023-12-19 2023 2023-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper The city of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, has received a $49.68 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for construction of the South Bridge project. The new bridge will be built across the Roaring Fork River, connecting Highway 82 and neighborhoods west of the river near the airport. The project aims to create a second evacuation route for the city's southern corridor residents, ensuring better safety during emergencies, bolstering connectivity, stimulating economic growth, and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents in the Lower Colorado River Valley and the Roaring Fork Valley. Congresswoman Boebert has strongly supported the South Bridge project and worked closely with the City to secure funding. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “Our bipartisan advocacy was successful and secured $49.68 million for the South Bridge project in Glenwood Springs. I have worked closely with local elected officials on both sides of the aisle since my first year in Congress and securing funding for the South Bridge project has been one of my top local priorities. Thanks to this locally driven effort, the South Bridge project will be built. This critical infrastructure development not only improves emergency response capabilities but also ensures the safety and well-being of our community. The transformative impact of this investment reaches far beyond improved connectivity; it will also boost regional economic growth and improve the quality of life for Glenwood Springs residents.” Glenwood Springs Mayor Ingrid Wussow said, "The City of Glenwood is thrilled and relieved to have received the almost $50mil Rural Surface Transportation Grant. For over 20 years our community has been working on procuring the funds for this much needed conduit for fire egress in our wildfire prone community. We are thankful to our congressional delegates, Governor Polis and CDOT Director Lew for their unwavering support in helping us solve this rural transportation challenge. We are so appreciative of Congress… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z

The bill will create more than 1,000 jobs in Pueblo and foster economic prosperity for southern Colorado. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, "I’m thrilled that my first bill that will be signed into law is the Pueblo Jobs Act. This legislation will create more than 1,000 jobs in Pueblo and Colorado's Third District. My bill ensures that multi-billion-dollar infrastructure at the Pueblo Chemical Depot can be utilized by the community instead of just being torn down and bulldozed. This bipartisan and bicameral effort was developed from the ground up, and I’d like to thank all the stakeholders who helped make this happen, especially Russell DeSalvo of PuebloPlex." Background: This week, the House and Senate debated and passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024. Included in the final passage of this bill is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s Pueblo Jobs Act as well as the largest military pay raise in 20 years. This version of the NDAA has strong bipartisan support and is expected to be signed into law soon.

https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-boebert-introduces-bill-block-bidens-16-million-acre-colorado Congresswoman Boebert Introduces Bill to Block Biden's 1.6 Million Acre Colorado Land Grab 2023-12-08 2023 2023-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced H.R. 6547, legislation that prohibits the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from locking up 1.6 million acres of land in Colorado from responsible oil and gas production. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “Joe Biden and his agency minions are making a concerted effort to undermine our energy production, particularly in Colorado. As gas prices soar to unprecedented levels nationwide, inflation crushes working families, and our national debt skyrockets at an alarming pace, the time for effective solutions is now. Instead of championing an all-of-the-above energy production to stimulate the economy and lower energy prices, Joe Biden is hellbent on trying to eliminate the oil and gas industry, as evidenced by his tyrannical actions like this concerning land grab." Chelsie Miera, Executive Director of the West Slope Colorado Oil & Gas Association, said, “The hardworking women and men in Western Colorado's oil and natural gas industry take pride in producing reliable, affordable, and safe natural gas and oil for our neighbors, Americans, and allies. It is crucial to consider the taxes and revenues paid by our industry, which fund important rural fire protection districts, library districts, rural schools, tourism projects, and much more. As a primary employer, creating 2 or 3 jobs in the economy for every job in our industry, we are thankful to contribute to a diversified economy for Western Colorado. Despite BLM's alternatives presenting a false choice, suggesting that either recreation or oil and gas are mutually exclusive on public lands, the Western Slope has shown that we can utilize our public lands with all multiple uses thriving together for the betterment of our communities.” Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-5) said, “As Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, I am pleased to join my Colorado colleague Congresswoman Boebert in pushing back against the Biden administration’s overreach.

https://boebert.house.gov/RAEDAPassesHNRC Boebert Bill Protecting American Energy Production Passes Resources Committee 2023-12-06 2023 2023-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Today, the House Committee on Natural Resources passed H.R. 6009, the Restoring American Energy Dominance Act, introduced by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert in October. The bill blocks the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) proposed Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “Joe Biden and his rogue, unelected bureaucrats have made it crystal clear that they're willing to go to any lengths to dismantle our oil and gas industry, all in favor of pushing Green New Deal initiatives that cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. The proposed Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule is a slap in the face to hard-working Americans already dealing with record-high gas prices. With the wars happening in the Middle East and Europe, and OPEC significantly lowering oil production, we can’t rely on foreign nations for America’s energy needs. The United States makes the cleanest energy in the world, and we should be producing it right here in America.” Chairmen of the House Natural Resources Committee, Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-4) said, “Since day one, the Biden administration has waged war on American energy. President Biden repeatedly uses federal agencies, like the Bureau of Land Management, to kneecap American producers to keep them from tapping into our nation’s vast resources. H.R. 6009 is an essential tool bill that will prevent unelected bureaucrats from leaving America dependent on foreign adversaries to meet our energy needs. Representative Boebert has been a leader on the committee fighting for conservation of our resources, and I look forward to continuing to work with her to get this bill through the legislative process.” Mallori Miller, Vice President of Government Relations for the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) said, “IPAA is pleased to see Rep. Boebert's bill pass out of Committee. The BLM rule that this legislation aims to prevent would have devastating impacts to independent producers who operate on federal lands. The BLM a… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z

In addition, 14 of Congresswoman Boebert’s appropriations requests were included in the base bill. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03)said, “Redirecting wasteful spending in the bill to important Third Congressional District priorities is just common sense. I’m thrilled my bipartisan colleagues in the House supported my efforts to prioritize more resources for rural hospitals, increase access to telehealth services for 2.8 million rural veterans, combat wasteful and fraudulent healthcare spending, strengthen charter schools, support physician workforce expansion in rural areas, and address the unique challenges of rural and Indian education.” Background: This week, the House debated H.R. 5894, the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2024. Included in the base bill were 14 of Congresswoman Boebert’s bipartisan legislative initiatives. The House also passed 11 of Congresswoman Boebert’s amendments to the bill.

Specifically, five of the Congresswoman’s bills and 65 of her amendments have passed the House. She has also passed seven bills through the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Administration. Congresswoman Boebert has secured $19.7 million for 10 important water and infrastructure projects in the Third District through Community Project Funding requests that are included in House Appropriations bills as well as 42 other of the Congresswoman’s Appropriations requests are included in the base text of House Appropriations bills. Here are the 11 amendments of Congresswoman Boebert’s that passed the House: Boebert Amendment No. 8 – Transfers $2 millio… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “Honest, hardworking Americans, who dutifully pay their taxes, should never bear the financial burden of Joe Biden's border crisis, or fund bonuses for an IRS that has been weaponized against them. Some big wins for the Third District are in the House Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill. I will continue to work hard on behalf of the American people I represent.” Background: This week, the House debated H.R. 4664, the Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2024. Included in this bill are 9 of Congresswoman Boebert’s legislative priorities and two of her amendments. In the 118th Congress, Congresswoman Boebert has been an extremely effective legislator, focusing on the needs of Colorado’s Third Congressional District and delivering numerous legislative victories. Specifically, five of the Congresswoman’s bills, 55 of her amendments, and 45 of her appropriations requests have passed the House. She has also passed seven bills through the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Administration. In addition, the Congresswoman has secured $19.7 million for 10 important water and infrastructure projects in the Third District through Community Project Funding requests that are included in House Appropriations bills. Here are the two amendments of Congresswoman Boebert that passed the House: Boebert Amendment 40 - Prohibits the use of funds made available by this Act to be used to provide financial assistance to Sanctuary Cities. Sanctuary city policies directly violate the Rule of Law outlined in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress jurisdiction over immigration matters. A nation of laws must prioritize the enforcement of established laws rather than … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z
https://boebert.house.gov/boebert-wolf-bill-passes-house Boebert Wolf Bill Passes the House 2023-11-07 2023 2023-11 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s and Congressman Tom Tiffany’s bill to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species List, the Trust the Science Act, passed the House as part of the Interior Appropriations Bill. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “The science is crystal clear on this issue: gray wolves should no longer be on the endangered species list. The constant back-and-forth on this matter goes against the best available science. We can no longer put farmers and ranchers in harm’s way by using taxpayer dollars to protect a species that has been fully recovered and that is destroying their livestock. It is time for the federal government to get out of the way and allow state and tribal wildlife agencies to manage this species.” Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) said, “Farmers, sportsmen, and pet owners have had to deal with the consequences of an unmanaged gray wolf population for far too long. The gray wolf has clearly recovered, and the House-passed Interior Appropriations bill is a step in the right direction to delist and manage the gray wolf.” Background: The Trust the Science Act successfully passed the House as part of the Fiscal Year 2024 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill. In 2020, the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service delisted the gray wolf in the lower 48 United States through a process that included the best science and data available. At over 6,000 wolves at the time of delisting, the gray wolf has been the latest Endangered Species Act success story with significant population recoveries in the Rocky Mountains and western Great Lakes regions. The Trust the Science Act requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue the 2020 Department of the Interior final rule that delisted gray wolves in the lower 48 United States. Additional Background: In February, Congresswoman Boebert and Congressman Tiffany led 22 Members of Congress in introducing the Trust the Science Act to remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Li… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z
https://boebert.house.gov/restoring-american-energy-dominance-act-passes-house Congresswoman Boebert's Restoring American Energy Dominance Act Passes House 2023-11-06 2023 2023-11 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper The Restoring American Energy Dominance Act, legislation introduced by Congresswoman Boebert in October to block the Biden Administration's proposed Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule, has passed the House as part of the Interior Appropriations bill. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “The American people have had enough of Joe Biden's relentless attack on American energy production. Gas prices continue to soar, and inflation is undermining our way of life. We should never consider reducing our own energy production and relying on other nations for our oil and gas needs. The United States is a leader in producing high-quality oil and gas globally, and it's time we utilize our natural resources to lower gas prices. Achieving this goal begins with passing my Restoring American Energy Dominance Act in the Senate and signing it into law.” Background: The Restoring American Energy Dominance Act successfully passed the House as a provision in the Fiscal Year 2024 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill. Congresswoman Boebert’s bill blocks the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM'S) proposed Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule. This rule effectively cements portions of the Inflation Reduction Act into law by imposing extra costs and regulations on domestic energy producers. On July 24, 2023, the BLM issued a proposed rule entitled Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process. The proposed mandate would formally implement provisions from the partisan Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which increased the royalty rate for production on federal lands while also increasing and creating new fees for producers. While the proposed rule codifies pieces of the IRA, it also makes major, non-statutory changes to the BLM’s onshore leasing program. The proposed mandate greatly increases bonding levels for production on federal lands (even though there are only 37 orphaned wells on federal lands). Increased bonding fee requirements disproportionately impacts smaller producers who can’t af… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “This week I secured 26 legislative victories for the Third Congressional District through passage of the House Interior Appropriations bill. Since taking office, Joe Biden has waged an all-out war on American energy, public lands, and water rights. The passage of my critical amendments allows us to roll back Biden’s burdensome regulations, reduce federal spending, and reallocate funds from federal bureaucrats to important causes such as improving school bus routes for the Southern Utes and Ute Mountain Utes. My amendments will also help combat wildfires by transferring $10 million to fund active forest management and hazardous fuels reduction activities, prohibit radical rule changes to the Endangered Species Act, prohibit a new Biden regulation attacking oil and gas producers, and block a 1.6-million-acre land grab in Colorado that prevents oil and gas production. The bill also funds my requests for the Gunnison and Silt Water Treatment Plants. Special thanks to everyone in the Third Congressional District who brought these priorities to my attention and worked with me to get them passed through the House.” Background: Today, the House passed H.R. 4821, the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2024. Included in this bill were 26 of Congresswoman Boebert’s bipartisan legislative initiatives including eight of her bipartisan amendments, two of her bipartisan bills, two of her bipartisan community project requests, and 14 other bipartisan appropriations requests submitted by the Congresswoman.

https://boebert.house.gov/house-passes-boebert--water-shortage-amendments House Passes Boebert Western Water Shortage Amendments 2023-10-26 2023 2023-10 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Today, two of Congresswoman Boebert's Western water shortage amendments passed the House as part of the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. These amendments redirect $5 million in funding to the Colorado River Storage Project to help address the severe water shortage in the West and also to increase water storage through improvements through the Colorado River Dam Fund. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “The West is in the midst of a serious water crisis that can no longer be overlooked. Lower Basin States, including California and Nevada, have consistently breached the century-old Colorado River Compact, which established water allotments for each basin. As a consequence of their excessive use, Colorado and other basin states are in need of expanded water storage. My amendments reallocate funds to increase water storage through the Colorado River Dam Fund and also direct funding to the Colorado River Storage Project to address severe water shortages in the West.” Background: Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4394, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. Congresswoman Boebert played a key role in implementing measures to curtail government overreach and safeguard state water rights. This significant bill ends the Biden Administration's Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, restoring control of historically non-federal waterways to the states and protecting ranchers, farmers, and municipal water supplies from federal seizure in the process. In the 118th Congress, Congresswoman Boebert has been an extremely effective legislator, focusing on the needs of Colorado’s Third Congressional District and delivering numerous legislative victories. Specifically, three of the Congresswoman’s bills and 44 of her amendments have passed the House.

Her bill is the House companion to Senator Mike Lee’s bill that was introduced in the Senate. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, "Using taxpayer dollars to fund research that harms children is gross and wrong. NIH is using children as pawns to advance radical gender ideology, and this must be stopped. Extreme leftists believe that confused children should be able to irreversibly maim and disable their own bodies before they are even able to vote, and they want taxpayer dollars to fund these atrocities. I will never stop fighting to protect innocent children and ensure that taxpayer funds are not used to promote radical gender ideology." Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) said, “The Federal Government should never fund research that harms kids. This bill will protect taxpayers from funding spurious research, but more importantly, it will protect kids from the permanent damage this irresponsible research can produce.” Congressman Bob Good (VA-05) said, "No taxpayer dollars should ever fund research or promotion of these life altering surgeries for children. We must do everything we can to stop the left from encouraging gender confusion of minors. I am proud to co-sponsor this legislation that would stop the assault of young children by the radical Biden Administration." Congressman Josh Brecheen (OK-02) said, “None of our taxpayer dollars should be going towards funding radical transgender studies and experiments that target children. It is unfortunate that this legislation is needed, but that is where we are today because of liberals’ dangerous and predatory transgender ideology,” Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) said, “This is common sense legislation. Taxpayer dollars should not be funding reckless experiments that cause irreversible harm to children.” Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said, “Children are no… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “The American people continue to struggle with record-high gas prices resulting from the Biden Administration's relentless assault on American energy. The proposed BLM Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule would negatively impact energy producers nationwide, further increase gas prices, and take us further from American energy independence. My Restoring American Energy Dominance Act represents a promising first step in repairing the damage done to American energy and blocks this overreach by a rogue Administration operating in impunity.” Tom Kropsatch, State Oil and Gas Supervisor for the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC) said this in his written testimony, “To be straightforward, this proposed rule actively discourages development and by BLM’s own admission, will force oil and gas production off federal lands… Avoiding federal lands when drilling these horizontal wells is very difficult to impossible. Therefore, the impacts from any federal action are felt by the state and private mineral owners… What BLM fails to recognize is most small operators cannot obtain a surety bond without significant collateral, typically 100% cash collateral.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “The Biden administration has waged an all-out war on American energy production, issuing reckless executive orders and ill-conceived mandates that have handicapped domestic energy production and created record-high gas prices. The proposed rule by the BLM would only worsen the economic situation for millions of Americans, burdening small producers, making the price at the pump more expensive, and further destroying America’s energy independence. The Restoring American Energy Dominance Act will keep Biden administration radicals from further driving up energy costs for millions of American families and take a stand against Biden’s war on American energy.” Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08), Chairman of the Energy & Mineral Resources Subcommittee said, “Americans are hurting everyday under the Biden Administration’s inflation, along with its failed economic and energy policies. Under the direction of President Biden and Interior Secretary Haaland, the Bureau of Land Management’s proposed rule will raise domestic energy prices, further crushing hardworking Americans. Rather than working to increase and incentivize domestic oil and gas production during a time of economic and security uncertainty around the world, the Biden Administration outsources its energy policy to adversarial nations like China, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. I want to thank Rep. Boebert for her leadership on this issue and look forward to working with her and my colleagues on the Natural Resources Committee to advance this legislation in the weeks to come.” Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05) said, “America produces cleaner energy more affordably than any other nation,” said Congressman Lamborn. “With war raging in the Middle East,… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “The bipartisan Colorado delegation and I once again called on the IRS not to tax TABOR refunds. TABOR has been a fundamental part of Colorado's Constitution since 1992. Seeking to impose new taxes on refunds after more than three decades is reckless and greedy. TABOR refunds should never be treated as part of an individual's federal gross income and, as a result, should not be subject to taxation.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert and the Colorado Congressional delegation have been very vocal about excluding Coloradans' Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) refundsfrom taxation. This is the third letter signed by Congresswoman Boebert to prevent TABOR refunds from being taxed. Coloradans should not be burdened with new taxes after enjoying 30 years of non-taxation for these refunds. With over half of Americans already living paycheck-to-paycheck, it is not the time to impose further financial strain on those already grappling with financial difficulties.

This proposal, which would remove more than 1.6 million acres of public lands in Colorado from future oil and gas leasing, would be detrimental to the nation’s energy independence. Additionally, this proposal includes the establishment of nine different “Areas of Critical Environmental Concern” (ACECs) on over 100,000 acres of BLM land. If this proposal were to be finalized, the United States would lose access to vital energy resources, many more than the 600 fewer wells projected to be lost by 2043. The consequences will be felt far beyond the state of Colorado, where residents will lose their livelihoods and see increased energy prices. This is an issue of national security because a decrease in domestic energy production will lead to an increased reliance on foreign nations, often those who are unstable and are adversarial to our domestic interests. The supplemental EIS is necessary to comply with judicial rulings on air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis. BLM is correct to update its GHG analysis, but has gone far beyond the rulings by proposing to close 73% of high potential oil and natural gas areas to leasing. Further, BLM is proposing to close all areas with “no-known, low, and moderate oil and gas development potential.” BLM is basing its analysis of the oil and gas potential on out-of-date information that does not take into consideration modem technology or a full assessment of the Mancos shale. Shales once considered low potential are now quite productive in other areas such as the Bakken in North Dakota and the Permian Basin of New Mexico and Texas.

My legislative successes redirect wasteful spending in the bill to support rural water and waste systems that provide clean drinking water, fund school equipment and breakfast programs, fund cooperative forestry research that will help actively manage our forests and reduce wildfires, fund the National School Lunch Program, fight against specialty crop pests, and support the interests of rural America. Together, we're working to fund important agriculture programs and provide a better future for all Americans. We're also eliminating divisive, 'woke' policies from the USDA, ensuring that our government serves all Americans fairly and without bias.” Background: The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies bill provides a non-defense discretionary total of $25.313 billion for programs under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee, $532 million (2.1%) below the FY23 enacted level and $3.622 billion (12.5%) below the FY24 President’s Budget Request. The Subcommittee’s allocation is $17.838 billion, and the House bill includes another $7.475 billion that is offset by clawing back the Democrats’ wasteful spending over the last two years and ending pandemic-era programs. The bill prioritizes agencies and programs that protect our nation’s food supply and supports America’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

In February, the Colorado Congressional Delegation also wrote a letter to then-Acting Commissioner Douglas O’Donnell on this issue. The letter stated, “Expecting Coloradans to now pay part of these revenue payments back would impose a significant burden on Colorado taxpayers, introduce considerable compliance costs for taxpayers who did not anticipate having to add their TABOR revenue payments to their joint or single filings, and cost Coloradans hundreds of additional dollars in tax liability.” The people of Colorado should not be burdened with additional federal taxation.

In 1992, Colorado enacted the TABOR amendment, which imposes constraints on the amount of tax revenue retained by the state, mandating the return of any surplus revenue to our taxpayers.

Locking up another 1.6 million acres at a time when gas prices are skyrocketing just shows how out of touch this administration is with rural America. Families in the Third District depend on these jobs to put food on the table and a roof over their heads. I stand with Colorado’s roughnecks against this misguided overreach by federal bureaucrats that seeks to lockup our land and that will further increase pain at the pump.” Background: Today, Biden’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Grand Junction and Colorado River Valley Field Office Resource Management Plans. The proposed plans would destroy Colorado energy jobs on the Western Slope and prevent responsible oil and gas production on 1.6 million acres. After this plan is implemented, 80% of the land managed by the Colorado River Valley Field Office will be closed to new oil and gas leasing. Likewise, this plan will close 81% of the land managed by the Grand Junction Field Office to new oil and gas leasing. Currently 87% of the decision area managed by the Colorado River Valley Field Office is open for oil and gas leasing and most of the area in the Grand Junction Field Office decision area is also open for oil and gas leasing. These proposals will cause significant job losses, limit multiple-use of our public lands, and worsen sky-high gas prices. BLM released a draft rule last month to hinder responsible energy development on federal lands by raising royalty rates. Shutting down energy production is an irresponsible way to manage our natural resources. Colorado’s Third District is home to the 2nd largest shale basin in North America. Colorado’s Third District accounts for nearly 44% of Colorado’s natural gas production, and Colorado is the 7th largest natural gas-producing state. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:30:18Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Space Command will stay in Colorado, its rightful home. I worked in a bipartisan and bicameral fashion with Congressman Lamborn and all Members of the Colorado delegation to set politics aside and put Colorado first. When Russia and China are developing lasers to destroy U.S. satellites, we should not be wasting time considering moving Space Command’s headquarters for political reasons. Our successful effort will keep thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars here in Colorado, including good-paying jobs for people that live in Pueblo.” Background: One of Congresswoman Boebert’s first acts in office was to join a bipartisan and bicameral letter to Joe Biden requesting that he leave Space Command in Colorado. During a committee hearing, Congresswoman Boebert questioned Vice Admiral Ronald Boxall and advocated for keeping Space Command in Colorado.

Her appropriations requests signed into law delivered $1.34 billion for NASA’s Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, $799.15 million for space exploration ground systems, and $2.6 billion for the Space Launch System. 1,600 jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars were at risk of leaving Colorado if Space Command moved. Colorado’s aerospace economy is second only to California and accounts for nearly 232,000 jobs. U.S. Space Command was created in 1985 and was located at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs from 1985-2002 until it was deactivated. Space Command was reestablished in 2019 and has been located in Colora… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “The Disinformation Governance Board was a terrible idea to begin with, and my Protecting Free Speech Act ensures that it stays where it belongs: the ash heap of history.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “My commonsense amendment provides transparency for the American people and exposes the costs and arbitrary processes used by Biden’s minions to ram through his socialist housing policy that penalizes responsible homeowners to subsidize high-risk individuals. Unelected bureaucrats in Washington should not have the ability to impose these un-American regulations on hardworking middle-class families. This is a gross overreach and will ultimately exacerbate the growing inflation problem we have in this country. “Joe Biden’s decision to subsidize failure makes more sense when you realize he’s hired Mayor Pete, Karine Jean-Pierre, and Kamala Harris. Raising housing fees at a time when mortgage rates are at the highest level in years thanks to the Biden-Pelosi spending spree will make housing less affordable and result in higher mortgage costs and reduced access to credit for most borrowers who are working hard and doing their best to just get by.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert has been an extremely effective legislator in the 118th Congress and has now passed two bills through the House of Representatives with bipartisan support and passed fifteen of fifteen amendments through the House, fourteen of which had strong bipartisan support.

I am grateful for Mesa County and the Bureau of Land Management’s work on this issue, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to finally get this done.” Mesa County Commissioner Cody Davis said, “Mesa County has been working diligently for many years to get this piece of property. The federal bureaucracy is laden with hoops to jump through, and we’ve been unable to acquire the acreage from the BLM. Clifton is an area of immeasurable value to us, and we want to see it grow and shine. With this property, we can promote economic development by incentivizing industry and business in the area. A huge shout out to Representative Boebert for helping us cut through the red tape.” Colorado House Republican Assistant Minority Leader and Former Mesa County Commissioner Rose Pugliese stated, “I would like to express my deep gratitude to Congresswoman Boebert for her tireless efforts to cut through the bureaucratic red tape that has hindered Mesa County, Colorado’s progress…For over five years, Mesa County has been diligently pursuing the acquisition of a parcel of land that the Bureau of Land Management has designated for disposal and no longer serves a purpose for the federal government. This land holds immense value for Mesa County as it presents a critical opportunity for economic development in Clifton,… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z

Boebert’s bill to proceed through the traditional, institutional process. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “Joe Biden’s unconstitutional dereliction of his Article II duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed warrants impeachment. He has willfully created a border crisis that has enabled the horrific trafficking of children. As a mother, it breaks my heart to watch Joe Biden turn a blind eye to victims of child sex trafficking. Biden’s Border Crisis has allowed millions of illegal aliens to pour into our country, threatened our national security, and killed more than 100,000 Americans from fentanyl—including more than 1,800 Coloradans. I am pleased that House leadership worked with me on my impeachment bill to protect our constitutional republic. As demonstrated in this victory, I will continue to use every available procedural tool to hold Joe Biden accountable and advance impeachment proceedings.” Procedural Background: On June 13, Congresswoman Boebert introduced articles of impeachment against Joe Biden for his unconstitutional dereliction of duty at the southern border. On June 20, Congresswoman Boebert called up her articles of impeachment on the House Floor under Rule 9 raising a question of privilege to force a vote on the matter within two legislative days. On June 21, the House Rules Committee took action on Congresswoman Boebert’s articles of impeachment and drafted a rule for the House to vote to begin impeachment proceedings against President Biden for his dereliction of duty at the southern border. Today, Congresswoman Boebert’s successful effort resulted in the House passing a resolution to begin impeachment proceedings against President Biden.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Biden’s bureaucrats at the Bureau of Land Management are proposing a rule that would lock up our public lands from multiple uses like grazing, mining, recreation, and energy production. This rule will harm western communities by halting fire risk-reduction activities, stripping grazing rights away from farmers and ranchers, and further waging war on American energy. I cosponsored H.R. 3397 to protect multiple use on public lands, and I held Biden’s Bureau of Land Management bureaucrat accountable for this attempted government takeover of our public lands during today’s hearing.” “In the West, we know locking up lands with preservationist designations does not automatically guarantee healthy landscapes. In fact, the opposite is often the case,” said Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse. “Farmers and ranchers are the best stewards of the land, not bureaucrats in Washington who seek to hamper our land managers’ ability to conserve the land they rely on for their livelihoods. The BLM has time and again shown their aim is to drastically reduce, or even eliminate, grazing on public lands, and this proposed rule is the latest iteration of this effort. I am proud to introduce legislation to rescind it.” “The BLM’s proposed rule would undermine the livelihoods of Utah’s farmers, ranchers, recreation businesses, and more,” said Congressman John Curtis. “In a state that has so much natural beauty to share, this rule attempts to lock up those precious lands that should be open and accessible to the public.” “The Bureau of Land Management’s proposed rule ignores Congressional input as well as those of sportsmen and Tribes, whose access to certain federal lands could be restricted if the rule goes into effect,” sai… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:15:57Z

Congresswomen Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “ATF wants to make the owners of nearly 40 million firearms with stabilizing braces felons overnight. It defies commonsense that the same unelected bureaucrats who gave away thousands of firearms to members of the Mexican cartels are trying to tell lawful American firearm owners that they can’t carry a pistol with a stabilizing brace without it being classified as a short-barrel rifle and receiving absurd penalties. Veterans that rely on pistol braces to responsibly shoot at the range shouldn’t receive jail time, be fined $250,000, and be issued a felony charge for simply having a stabilizing brace on their lawfully purchased firearm. The U.S. Senate needs to immediately follow the House’s lead and block this unconstitutional gun grab that Congress never authorized.” Background: The House of Representatives passed H.J.Res.44, legislation cosponsored by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, to protect millions of gun owners by nullifying the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF’s) unconstitutional pistol brace ban rule with a recorded vote of 219-210. On January 31, 2023, the ATF published their final rule 2021R-08F, “Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached Stabilizing Braces." This unconstitutional rule is a blatant attack on the Second Amendment. If this ATF rule is left in place, within 120 days, an estimated 40 million firearms will need to be registered, destroyed, turned in, or rebuilt or their lawful owner will face up to 10 years in federal prison, become a felon, and receive a fine of $250,000 fine for having a stabilizing brace on their lawfully-purchased firearm.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “My Western Water Accelerated Revenue Repayment Act had an important legislative hearing today and received resounding praise from the witnesses. This common-sense bill follows bipartisan precedent by allowing agriculture and municipal water users to prepay what they owe to the federal government for water delivery and water storage costs. This bill is good for taxpayers and generates early revenue for the Treasury while still ensuring obligations are repaid in full. H.R. 3675 also reduces extensive paperwork requirements and removes overly restrictive acreage limits for water users that have repaid their obligations. I look forward to this important bill continuing to move forward in the legislative process.” Chairman Cannon Michael of the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority testified, “From the Federal perspective, authorizing early repayment will accelerate Treasury receipts and raise revenue for the federal government. H.R. 3675 would ensure that all contractual repayment obligations are repaid in full at present value, including some that currently do not carry interest, ensuring that no additional costs are shouldered by U.S. taxpayers…The Water Authority and the Alliance fully support enactment of this bill, which will extend important, win-win authorities that allow water users to accelerate repayment of capital construction costs for Reclamation facilities. We appreciate Congresswoman Boebert for introducing this bill and want to thank all of the cosponsors…We urge the Committee to pass H.R. 3675 which will extend the benefits of early repayment for additional Reclamation contractors and the federal government.” Deputy Commissioner for the Bureau of ReclamationMichael Brain testified, “H.R. 3675 would allow for contracts repayment to be expedited, allowing for funding to more quickly be returned to the Treasury and provide additional f… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:15:57Z

The four bipartisan amendments passed by Congresswoman Boebert include: Amendment to Protect Gas Stoves Congresswoman Boebert introduced an amendment to the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act to prohibit the Biden administration from implementing regulations that result in a product being made unavailable solely because of the type of fuel the product consumes. This amendment will protect Americans from further attempts by the Biden administration to ban stoves via executive fiat.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Joe Biden unconstitutionally violated his duty under Article II of the Constitution to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed’ by intentionally disregarding our immigration laws and enabling an invasion along our southern border. Joe Biden is unable and unwilling to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States. To preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, it is imperative that the House of Representatives impeach Joe Biden and hold him accountable for his egregious violations of his oath of office.” Background: Under Joe Biden, over 5.3 million illegal aliens were encountered by Border Patrol along the southern border. Biden’s administration has released more than 2 million illegal aliens into the interior of the United States without any enforcement mechanism to ensure that they appear in immigration court to face asylum or deportation proceedings. Additionally, the illegal immigration surge Joe Biden has created at the border has allowed 1.5 million illegal aliens to enter our county as “gotaways”—and those are just the ones we know about. The Biden administration has demonstrated a complete and total disregard for our immigration laws, as evidenced by the historic low number of deportation cases pursued. In this midst of the largest influx of illegal immigration in American history, Joe Biden’s dereliction of duty has endangered American national security. In just the first seven months of FY2023, Border Patrol has caught 96 people on the terrorist watch list trying to sneak into our country. Joe Biden has allowed over 39,900 pounds of fentanyl to be encountered at the southern border. That is enough fentanyl to kill every American 27 times. Under Joe Biden’s dereliction of duty, fentanyl has killed more than 100,000 Americans. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:15:57Z

I testified before the House Rules Committee advocating for my seven amendments, but the Swamp refused to even have real debate on the 80 amendments filed, rammed this thing through with a closed rule, and completely bypassed everything we fought for in January as part of the Rules package changes that were implemented to allow Members a voice. “The American people are struggling with high gas prices, groceries, and other monthly expenses that were fueled by Democrats' federal spending spree that caused record inflation. We had a real opportunity to significantly cut federal spending, restore some fiscal sanity to Washington D.C., and get our economy back on track. Unfortunately, this disastrous deal did none of those things. The Swamp did its old song and dance and pretended to listen to the American people, but as soon as the backroom deal was made, it was predetermined that it would pass. I certainly wasn’t afraid to vote against the bill, as I have been advocating against it all week. I voted against the rule to consider the bill, I advocated against it publicly, and I will continue to call out the Swamp for selling out our conservative principles and mortgaging the American dream.” Background: Despite liberal talking points about so-called “clean debt ceilings,” since 1985, the eight largest deficit-reduction laws were all attached to debt ceiling legislation. Congresswoman Boebert voted for the Limit, Save, Grow Act to responsibly raise the debt ceiling while cutting spending. While not perfect, the Limit, Save, Grow Act would have increased the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion in exchange for real spending cuts and saving taxpayers $4.8 trillion. The American people supported this plan. Even CNN’s polling showed that 60% of Americans agreed that Congress should only raise the debt ceiling if it cuts spending at the s… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “My Western Water Accelerated Revenue Repayment Act is a win-win for water users and fiscal responsibility. My bill allows water users to be free of burdensome federal regulations and paperwork requirements if they repay their debt to the government early. It also expedites payments while generating hundreds of millions for the Treasury. Without my bill, nearly 85% of irrigation districts have no way to make an early repayment. Just like homeowners can pay off their mortgage early if they want to, my bill allows agriculture and municipal water users to use a similar authority to prepay construction and other costs they owe to the federal government.” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced H.R. 3675, the Western Water Accelerated Revenue Repayment Act, to permanently authorize Section 4011 of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act (P.L. 114-322), a provision that allows some agriculture and municipal water users to prepay what they owe to the federal government. This prepayment adds early revenue to the U.S. Treasury while also decreasing federal paperwork requirements and operating costs for water users. Under federal law, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) water storage and delivery project costs are allocated to the beneficiaries of such projects. Water users must repay those costs allocated to them under the federal “beneficiaries pay” principal. Those costs are repaid through what are called multi-year “repayment contracts” that are analogous to homeowner mortgage payments. As long as a repayment obligation exists, federal strings are attached (such as onerous paperwork requirements and limitations on how much acreage a farmer can plant). Prior to 2016, if some water users wanted to repay what they owed … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:55:44Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “I’m helping lead the charge to ensure Colorado is not shortchanged in any Colorado River proposals and our communities receive the water to which they are entitled. Lower basin states continue to overuse the Colorado River, exacerbating water challenges for Colorado and the rest of the basin in the process. This week’s Resources hearing was extremely productive as we secured water commitments for important projects in Colorado as well as for important data that will help guide future negotiations.” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert secured important water commitments from Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton during a House Committee on Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries hearing entitled, “Examining the President’s Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Proposals for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Power Marketing Administrations.” Congresswoman Boebert discussed the ongoing Colorado River negotiations with the seven basin states and the Bureau of Reclamation. This week, the Department of the Interior announced that it was temporarily withdrawing the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on the Colorado River Basin operations, which was published last month, so that it can fully analyze the effects of the lower basin states’ new proposal under the National Environmental Policy Act. Congresswoman Boebert pointed out that the three lower basin states’ commitment this week to conserve 3 million acre-feet of water by 2026 is encouraging, but that we need more analysis to ensure this plan adequately protects Colorado and that the focus must remain on addressing the lower basins’ continued overuse of Colorado River water.

This is unacceptable, and I have continually advocated to fix rural Colorado’s mail delivery issues on their behalf. While things have improved in recent months, the Biden administration’s decision to eliminate 15,000 rural pharmacies from the Department of Defense Health Agencies Cigna/Express Scripts reimbursement plan has created a new prescription mail crisis. No veteran or senior should ever have to go weeks without important quality of life prescriptions, and I’ll continue to fight to ensure they receive their mail on time.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert is engaged on rural mail delivery issues. Her office has worked with constituents in the Crested Butte area that have complained about an increasing number of missed packages, wait times exceeding an hour at the local post office due to staffing issues, limited hours, no home mail delivery, poor customer service, and increased PO box fees. Additionally, Congresswoman Boebert’s office has worked with constituents in Colorado City who went without a post office for six weeks due to postal contract issues. During this period, constituents had to drive 30 minutes to Pueblo to get their mail. Congresswoman Boebert’s office also worked with constituents in La Veta who were frustrated that their post office was intermittently closed for two-and-a-half years due to staffing issues. Congresswoman Boebert is fighting for veterans and seniors dependent on the postal service for prescription delivery. The postal issues impacting rural Colorado could not come at a worse time. Under the Biden administration, an estimated 15,000 rural pharmacies were forced out of the Department of Defense Health Agencies Cigna/Express Scripts reimbursement plan.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “While many hard-working Americans were working through the pandemic, federal bureaucrats were lounging at home and not even logging in to their computers. Shockingly, more than three years past the start of the pandemic, numerous public servants are still teleworking and only going in to the office one day per week, all at the expense of the American taxpayer. I have heard from countless constituents who did not get their tax returns back on time, who did not get their passports in a timely manner, and who did not get benefits from the VA because federal employees were teleworking. The House Oversight and Accountability Committee and I are demanding transparency from federal agencies on their secretive telework policies so that the American people know what exactly their tax dollars are funding and how their public servants are serving them.” Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer said, “Hard-working Americans across this country show up to work every day and the federal government workforce their taxes fund must follow their lead. Even though the pandemic is over, the Biden Administration is allowing telework levels far above those that existed pre-pandemic. This is occurring in an apparently indiscriminate, unaccountable manner, without oversight from the White House or the Office of Personnel Management – whose Director could not tell members what portion of federal employees are teleworking when she appeared before the Committee in March. This is unacceptable and U.S. taxpayers deserve better. Federal workers must show up to work in-person and the Oversight Committee will hold ag… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:55:44Z

Specifically, Congresswoman Boebert’s amendment requires the Department of Homeland Security to annually report to Congress and publish on its website how many illegal aliens are deported for assaulting law enforcement officers. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “It is shocking that illegal aliens assaulting law enforcement isn’t already codified as a deportable offense. Holding criminal aliens accountable for violence against law enforcement officers is just common sense. Rather than wasting time on the Democrats’ agenda to keep our southern border wide open and defunding the police, House Republicans are proud to ‘Back the Blue’ and have proposed policy solutions like the underlying bill to put an end to Biden’s border crisis. “My commonsense amendment requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to create an annual report on the number of illegal aliens deported for assaulting law enforcement officers. This will promote accountability and transparency for the removal of these criminal aliens. The American people have a right to know if illegal aliens are attacking law enforcement officers and to what extent.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert’s transparency and accountability amendment passed the House 303-126 with strong bipartisan support.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said, “I unapologetically support the Second Amendment. No amount of gun control will ever eliminate evil in our society, and unsurprisingly, the data has shown time and again that gun control does not decrease gun violence. Just look at Chicago or New York, where gun control has created criminal safe havens since evildoers know their victims will be unarmed. It is ironic that the same people who are calling to defund the police also want to leave everyday Americans defenseless. I will always stand against this nonsense and stand for law-abiding Americans and the Constitution.” Congressman Byron Donalds said, “Last Congress, Pelosi chose to make restricting our Second Amendment rights a staple of her legislative agenda, but her unconstitutional edicts will not stand. Our Second Amendment rights ‘shall not be infringed.’ I’m proud to stand alongside Rep. Boebert in this legislative fight for American freedom by repealing Pelosi’s tyrannical gun control platform.” Congressman Eric Burlison said, “Congress should preserve our rights, not infringe them. I applaud Congresswoman Boebert for leading on this bill to protect Americans’ God-given, constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights.” Congressman Andy Ogles stated, “Last Congress, Biden and his Democrat cohorts in the House went after Americans’ basic right to bear arms. From significantly increasing the ATF’s budget to going after lawful gun owners to designating over $700 million taxpayer dollars to bribe states to pass red flag laws, Democrats did not hold back from trampling the rights of Americans.

Congresswoman Laruen Boebert (CO-03) stated, “I am thrilled that the House Committee on Natural Resources trusted the nonpartisan science and passed Rep. Tiffany’s and my bill to finally delist the recovered gray wolf and focus scarce taxpayer funding on endangered species that actually need help recovering. I will never stop advocating for rural Colorado, and I will keep working to protect farmers, ranchers, and their livestock from wolf attacks. The science is clear, the gray wolf is fully recovered, and it is time for the federal government to get out of the way and allow state and tribal wildlife agencies to manage this species.” House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman said, “It is far past time to follow science and delist the recovered Gray Wolf from the endangered species list. This action has previously had bipartisan support from multiple administrations, and the science is clear. We should follow the original intent of the ESA, which was designed to recover species on the brink of extinction and delist them when they recover. States and local communities know what’s best for themselves, and today we took an important step forward in letting states manage their own wildlife populations.” Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) stated, “Activists endanger the Endangered Species Act by not removing species, like the gray wolf, when they have recovered. It’s a scientific fact that the gray wolf population has met and exceeded recovery goals, and it’s time to celebrate this success by returning wolf management back to where it belongs, in states’ hands.” Background: Today, the Trust the Science Act passed the House Committee on Natural Resources with a recorded vote of 21-16.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “Mesa County has been waiting more than five years for the Bureau of Land Management to sell it a parcel of land that the federal government no longer needs or wants. I introduced the CONVEY Act to cut through the bureaucracy and expedite the process for Mesa County. This land will be used for critical economic development in Clifton that will bring more job creators into Mesa County. I support Mesa County’s efforts that will facilitate economic growth in an area that needs new opportunities. I am grateful for Mesa County and the Bureau of Land Management’s work on this issue, and I look forward to continuing to work with them both as we find a solution.” Mesa County Commissioner Cody Davis said, “Mesa County has been working diligently for many years to get this piece of property. The federal bureaucracy is laden with hoops to jump through, and we’ve been unable to acquire the acreage from the BLM. Clifton is an area of immeasurable value to us, and we want to see it grow and shine. With this property, we can promote economic development by incentivizing industry and business in the area. A huge shout out to Representative Boebert for helping us cut through the red tape.” Background: The CONVEY Act directs the Secretary of the Interior to convey 31.1 acres, slated for disposal and that the federal government no longer wants, to Mesa County, Colorado for economic development purposes in Clifton. The bill requires the County to pay fair market value for this land. Funds from this sale will be deposited into the Federal Land Disposal Account established by the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act and retained by the Colorado Bureau of Land Management to be used in Colorado.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Ensuring the federal government does all it can to help the community transition during the Pueblo Chemical Depot’s closure is one of my priorities. My Pueblo Jobs Act will prohibit the federal government from cutting corners by requiring the Secretary of the Army to rigorously follow the standard Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process when closing the Pueblo Chemical Depot to provide certainty for the Pueblo economy and foster future job creation.” PuebloPlex President & CEO Russell DeSalvo III said, “I am very encouraged by the support we are seeing for this bill as PuebloPlex assumes its role as the Local Redevelopment Authority responsible for the long-term redevelopment of the Pueblo Chemical Depot. Because Pueblo and the surrounding communities are facing significant adverse economic effects due to the closure, this bill’s passage is a crucial step in transitioning the site into a key job source and community asset.” Background: As part of the 1988 round of base closures and realignments, the Base Closure Commission recommended the Realignment of the Pueblo Chemical Depot, except for that portion of the Pueblo Chemical Depot set aside as the Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant required for the demilitarization and destruction of chemical weapons in accordance with the Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty. The Pueblo Jobs Act closes this loophole by requiring the Secretary of the Army to close all parts of the Pueblo Chemical Depot in accordance with the BRAC process, including the previously excluded Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant.

In fiscal year 2023, Congresswoman Boebert worked to secure $1.85 billion for community health centers in an appropriations request signed into law. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “I am thrilled that the Pueblo Community Health Center received an over $5.1 million grant. These funds will be used to improve public health and serve the Pueblo community. I am working diligently to secure resources that will improve the lives of people across Colorado’s Third District.” Background: In FY 2023, Congresswoman Boebert secured 22 appropriations requests that were signed into law, including $1.85 billion for community health centers that provide medical care to rural communities. While the Congresswoman could not ultimately vote for the appropriations package due to Democrat poison pills included in the legislation, she worked in a bipartisan fashion with members of the House Appropriations Committee to ensure that these provisions were signed into law. Then Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee Kay Granger gave Congresswoman Boebert credit for her “individual requests that were included in H.R. 2617.” Congresswoman Boebert is a consistent advocate for rural healthcare. In FY 2022, she secured $1.74 billion for community health centers. She also worked with state Rep. Matt Soper to successfully secure Sole Community Hospital Provider Status for Delta Health.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “I promised my voters that I would deliver real solutions to the problems they’re facing, and today, the House passed two of my bills and an additional amendment as a part of H.R. 1. My bills will lower energy costs and streamline the process for critical infrastructure projects. Promises made, promises kept. These bills will provide certainty for responsible energy production and transportation while preventing frivolous litigation, all in an effort to make America energy independent once again, reduce gas prices for Coloradans, and allow important infrastructure projects to get done.” Background: Today, Congresswoman Boebert passed two bills and an additional amendment through the House of Representatives, the American Energy Act, the 90-Day Review Act and her Jordan Cove amendment. The Congresswoman has started the 118th Congress being an extremely effective legislator and has now passed two bills through the House of Representatives with bipartisan support, and passed nine of nine amendments offered through the House, eight of which had strong bipartisan support. Background on Congresswoman Boebert’s American Energy Act: Congresswoman Boebert’s American Energy Act passed the House as Secs. 20212 and 20217 of H.R. 1. Congresswoman Boebert’s passed legislation will extend the length of drilling permits, ensuring energy producers will be able to spend more time producing American energy and less time jumping through bureaucratic hoops.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “My two amendments to H.R. 1 represent the interests of rural Colorado by condemning leftists who killed the Jordan Cove Pipeline and by streamlining critical infrastructure permitting. We need an America first energy policy now, and I am proud that my amendments and two of my bills, the 90-Day Review Act and the American Energy Act, will be included in H.R. 1.” Background on Congresswoman Boebert’s 90-Day Review Act Amendment: Congresswoman Boebert’s amendment adds her 90-Day Review Act to H.R. 1 and passed the House by voice vote with unanimous consent. The 90-Day Review Act shortens the length of time from 150 days to 90 days that a party can file a petition for judicial review of a permit, license, or approval of a major infrastructure project. By streamlining the federal litigation timeline, this legislation will help reduce frivolous litigation, cut red tape, and help critical infrastructure projects move forward in more timely manner. This bill will reduce the amount of time it takes to construct real and important infrastructure projects like highways, bridges, railways, dams and other important projects that will improve the lives of people in Colorado's Third District and across America.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Frivolous litigation should not be a hurdle to critical infrastructure projects that will improve the lives of Americans across the country. For far too long, we have put trial lawyers’ interests ahead of the American people. Burdensome litigation causes our hardworking men and women to sit idle on job sites as they wait on court processes. This bill will unleash American workers to reach their full potential as they build roads, bridges, railways, and other critical infrastructure projects right here in America.” Senator Ted Cruz said, “America’s infrastructure should be able to be completed in a timely and predictable manner without excessive government red tape and delays. I’m proud to introduce legislation that would loosen the federal government’s stranglehold on infrastructure projects and get Americans back to work.” Background: The 90-Day Review Act shortens the length of time from 150 days to 90 days that a party can file a petition for judicial review of a permit, license, or approval of a major infrastructure project.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Andy Mueller’s expert testimony showed that the biggest problem water managers are facing on the ground are wildfire prevention, active forest management, and water storage. 80% of Colorado residents rely on our forests, the majority of which are federally owned, for their municipal supplies and as a critical source of water. Andy made clear that actively managing our forests results in improved water quality and helps provide clean drinking water and other significant health benefits for our communities.” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced General Manager of the Colorado River Water Conservation District Andy Mueller for his testimony before the House Committee on Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries hearing titled Why We Need to Store More Water and What’s Stopping Us. His testimony focused on the need for long-term and short-term storage solutions as well as focusing on how managing our forests supports healthy watersheds. General Manager Mueller’s written testimony highlighted the need for active forest management and wildfire mitigation to protect natural watersheds in our forests. Wildfires release ash and sediment into watersheds and create hydrophobic soil, exacerbating western drought. There are nearly 2.5 million acres of forest land in Colorado in urgent need of treatment to reduce wildfire risk and protect watersheds. Congresswoman Boebert has been a leader on active forest management, and in a legislative provision signed into law, she secured $50 million for the U.S. Forest Service to manage our forests and combat the bark beetle infestation increasing the risk of catastrophic wildfires.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “People in the Denver suburbs don’t understand wolf attacks. They see filtered images through the media of cute little wolf pups. But in reality, wolf attacks are gruesome. I have received many letters from families, farmers, and ranchers across Colorado who have reached out to my office since they have nowhere else to turn. I am committed to being rural Colorado’s voice in Congress and finding appropriate management solutions. Gray wolves are fully recovered, should be delisted in the lower 48, and should be managed by states.” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and Congressman Tom Tiffany reintroduced the Trust the Science Act to delist the gray wolf from the federal Endangered Species List and return the issue of wolf management to the states. The Trust the Science Act requires the Secretary of Interior to reissue the 2020 Department of the Interior final rule that delisted gray wolves in the lower 48 United States and ensures that the reissuance of the final rule will not be subject to judicial review by activist judges like the California judge who vacated the rule in 2020 and unilaterally relisted the gray wolf by judicial fiat. This week, the House Committee on Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries held a hearing on Rep. Boebert’s Trust the Science Act.

The first amendment requires schools to notify parents if biological males are permitted to participate in women’s sports. The second amendment requires schools to notify parents if biological males are permitted to use women’s restrooms. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “We have seen public schools promote extremely divisive content like critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and even drag shows to impressionable young children. Speaking as a mother of four boys, enough is enough. I send my boys to school to receive an education, not indoctrination. Parents have a right to know what’s happening at their child’s school, and my amendments will ensure just that.” Background: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s amendments to the Parents Bill of Rights passed the House with unanimous bipartisan consent.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The bipartisan Dolores River National Conservation Area and Special Management Area Act is the gold standard for public lands bills as it protects traditional uses and was written from the ground up by a bipartisan coalition of local stakeholders. So many other public lands bills in Congress trample on the rights and liberties of the American people, but this legislation is good for conservation, good for private property rights, and good for local communities. I thank Senator Bennet, Chairman Heart, the San Miguel County Commissioners, the Montezuma County Commissioners, the Dolores County Commissioners, and all the amazing people in Southwest Colorado who put their heart into this bill and played an important role in building this strong coalition.” San Miguel County Commissioner Hilary Cooper said, “San Miguel County has been actively participating, for over a decade, in regional stakeholder discussions to determine the best locally driven long-term management for the Dolores River. The Dolores County National Conservation Area and Special Management Area is a locally built and broadly supported proposal that protects the valid existing uses which sustain our region as well as the natural resources and surrounding environment that are highly valued by locals and visitors. We are grateful to Representative Boebert for supporting our local collaborative efforts by sponsoring the House version of the Dolores NCA and look forward to working with her office to ensure the protection of this endangered landscape and the local participation in ongoing management.” Outdoor Alliance CEO Adam Cramer stated, “Outdoor Alliance is pleased to see the introduction of the Dolores River National Conservation Area and Special Management Area Act.

Lauren Boebert Votes to Repeal the Unconstitutional WOTUS Rule 2023-03-09 2023 2023-03 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) voted to rescind the unconstitutional WOTUS rule utilizing the Congressional Review Act. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Biden’s WOTUS rule is another land and water grab to expand the federal government’s jurisdiction and regulate every aspect of our lives. This job-killing mandate will devastate small businesses, farmers, ranchers, and everyday Americans. The EPA has no business regulating ditches. Farmers and ranchers also shouldn’t have to hire a team of consultants to determine what actions they can take on their own property. This new rule is not well thought out, and I’m glad the House took definitive action today to fight this overreach.” Background: The Obama administration’s 2015 WOTUS rule was a land and water grab that sought to assert Clean Water Act and federal jurisdiction over areas with even the slightest connection to water resources. The Trump administration passed the Navigable Waters Protection Rule to provide much-needed clarity to the WOTUS rule and protect small business, property owners, farmers, and other stakeholders from federal overreaches. However, the Biden administration’s word games are ushering in another massive federal overreach like we saw with Obama’s 2015 WOTUS rule. Congresswoman Boebert is a strong opponent of Biden’s WOTUS rule. When the Biden administration first proposed its version of the regulation, Congresswoman Boebert joined 126 other Members of Congress in an effort opposing it. The Congressional Review Act allows Congress the opportunity to review and rescind agency regulations by passing a resolution of disapproval. The resolution of disapproval of the Biden administration’s WOTUS rule passed the House 227-198. There is currently a Supreme Court case pending that could upend the entire WOTUS rule. The Biden administration's effort to roll out this rule is premature since the Supreme Court has not yet issued its decision in Sackett v. EPA.

Boebert’s American Energy Act, H.R. 1067. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “America’s energy problems are self-inflicted wounds caused by the Biden administration. We can responsibly develop our natural resources to bring energy prices down immediately, but Biden’s army of bureaucrats would rather stonewall energy permit applications. I am grateful that my American Energy Act was included in the TAPP American Resources Act that passed the House Committee on Natural Resources today. This commonsense legislation will streamline the energy permitting process, encourage responsible energy production, and bring down gas prices by providing certainty for energy producers.” Background: Last week, Congresswoman Boebert’s H.R. 1067, the American Energy Act, was included in House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman’s TAPP American Resources Act and received a hearing in the House Committee on Natural Resources Energy and Minerals Subcommittee.

Background on Congresswoman Boebert’s American Energy Act: Congresswoman Boebert’s American Energy Act will help reduce the backlog at the Bureau of Land Management by extending the length of drilling permits from two years to four years. By extending the length of drilling permits, energy producers will be able to spend more time producing American energy and less time jumping through bureaucratic hoops. Additionally, extending the length of drilling permits will reduce the number of reapplications, reducing the burden on the Bureau of Land Management. Ultimately, this will alleviate the unacceptable backlog and streamline permitting reviews. Congresswoman Boebert’… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:30:02Z

Instead of just reporting inflation information to Congress, my amendment will require the White House to report inflation information to the American people by publishing it on OMB’s public website.

I worked closely with local stakeholders to submit grant support letters for three local priorities, including the Pueblo Medal of Honor Boulevard Extension Project, the Mesa County Orchard Avenue Project, and the I-70 Corridor Resilience and Connectivity Improvements Project. Improving rural transportation in Colorado communities is one of my top priorities in Congress. I’m hopeful the Department of Transportation will give these three projects full and fair consideration.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert submitted letters of support for the following three projects: I-70 Corridor Resilience and Connectivity Improvements Project The Colorado Department of Transportation is requesting a grant to improve the resiliency of the I-70 corridor since it supports a thriving tourist industry and is a critical freight corridor for national trade. When it is closed, travelers are often forced to divert onto Cottonwood Pass, which is not always wide enough to support two vehicles passing safely. This grant will improve Cottonwood Pass by making safety and mobility improvements like curve softening, enhancing sight distance, and increasing road width.

It doesn’t have to be this way, and I thank Congresswoman Boebert for leading legislation to speed up the permitting process from frivolous lawsuits.” Congressman Andy Ogles said, “The Biden Administration’s anti-America agenda is on full display, especially in the energy industry. The rapid and massive decline in the approval of drilling permits by Biden’s Department of the Interior is a clear demonstration of its opposition to American oil and gas production.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “This simple, straightforward amendment will provide transparency surrounding this ludicrous and unscientific vaccine mandate put in place by Joe Biden’s bureaucrats. This unnecessary CDC rule has made everyday life so much harder for many people: from tearing apart family reunifications to discouraging companies from doing business with America. I have heard from so many people who have been hurt by this mandate, including: the mother of a Dutch tourist who died on the Appalachian trail who was unable to come to the United States to collect her son’s body; a Canadian man who has been unable to visit his fiancée on American soil for the past three years; a man working for a company in the United Kingdom who has been unable to travel to the United States for business meetings; and a family in New Hampshire with Canadian in-laws who have been unable to have Canadian family members visit for Christmas in the United States since COVID started.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert’s bipartisan amendment requiring that the CDC produce a report detailing how many international travelers were denied entry into the United States under Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate passed the House 253-168, with 38 Democrats voting in favor of it. Despite Joe Biden stating that “the pandemic is over”, he has refused to lift the vaccine mandate for international travelers arriving legally to the United States. However, he has never required a vaccine mandate for the over four million illegal aliens who have walked across our southern border freely under his watch. This draconian mandate puts America out of step with the rest of the civilized world.

The ELON Act also places a one-year moratorium on any payments going from the FBI to big tech companies. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Big tech is in bed with the FBI and other agencies to the point where Congress can’t tell where one ends and the other begins. The millions of dollars sent to Twitter that we know of during an election cycle, when they were at the same time censoring the Hunter Biden laptop from hell, is incredibly concerning. My bill, the ELON Act, requires a report from all agencies on federal dollars sent to big tech companies. My legislation also places a one-year moratorium on tax dollars going to big tech companies. We must expose the incestuous relationship between big tech and the federal government. My bill does exactly that.” Background: The Twitter files exposed the collusion between Big Tech and the Department of Justice. It confirmed shady content moderation practices including the blacklisting of conservatives, censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story as misinformation to influence the 2020 election, and the revolving door of personnel from the FBI to Twitter HQ before the platform was purchased by Elon Musk last year. Late last year, Michael Shellenberger reported internal emails at Twitter with the subject line “Run the business- we made money!” This email informed then-Twitter Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker that the FBI paid Twitter $3,415,323.00 between October 2019 and February 2021. The FBI confirmed the nearly $3.5 million payment to Twitter was a “reimbursement” for the “reasonable costs and expenses associated with their response to a legal process… For complying with legal requests, and a standard procedure.” FBI officials also stated that Twitter isn't the only social media company that is being paid by the federal agency, stating “We don’t just reimburse Twitter.” After this … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:18:08Z

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “COVID is over—even Joe Biden admitted it. It is far past time to start undoing the harm that COVID hysteria caused our country, and it starts by reinstating our healthcare workers who should never have been fired for refusing to take the vaccine, requiring federal employees to actually show up to work, and cutting wasteful COVID spending.” Background: This week, the House passed H. R. 382, the Pandemic is Over Act, which was cosponsored by Congresswoman Boebert. The Pandemic is Over Act orders the Secretary of Health and Human Services to rescind the public health emergency declaration and relinquish all emergency powers that the executive branch has assumed. With bipartisan support, the House also passed H. R. 497, the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act, which was cosponsored by Congresswoman Boebert. This legislation ends the Biden administration’s COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers and nullifies the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ vaccine rule. Additionally, the House passed H. J. Res. 7, which was cosponsored by Congresswoman Boebert. This legislation declares the COVID national emergency is over. Biden has abused his self-declared emergency powers to justify his student loan scam and other unrelated liberal wish list items. This legislation will rescind the declaration of the COVID national emergency pursuant to the National Emergencies Act of 1974. Finally, the House passed H. R. 139, the SHOW UP Act, which was cosponsored by Congresswoman Boebert. As a member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce, Congresswoman Boebert was supportive of this legislation to ensure that federal employees show up to work to serve the American people.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The gray wolf is fully recovered, should remain delisted in the lower 48 states, and states should determine how to manage their local gray wolf populations. For too long, farmers and ranchers have been powerless to defend their livestock from gray wolf attacks. The Trust the Science Act empowers states and puts people ahead of violent predators. We need to actually analyze the data objectively instead of letting Endangered Species Act listing decisions be made by leftist activists.” Congressman Tom Tiffany said, “It’s a scientific fact that the gray wolf has recovered well past its recovery goal. Saying otherwise undermines the purpose of the Endangered Species Act. This is a true recovery success story, and it's past time to give states the reins to control their wolf populations.” Colorado Livestock Association CEO Zach Riley stated, “Special interest groups have long used the ‘Equal Access to Justice Act,’ lack of oversight in agencies and general lack of understanding of by the public where it concerns biology to wage war on those that live on the land and grow animals. It continues to be an ever-growing war situation between the special interest groups and their attorneys and those few left willing to try to preserve their heritage and way of life. We greatly appreciate Congresswoman Boebert bringing this legislation forward.” Bonnie Brown, Executive Director, Colorado Woolgrowers Association said, “Gray wolves have been biologically recovered for years, and in some areas, for decades.

I will keep working on effective policies to unleash American energy, protect water rights, fight western drought, prevent wildfires, and steward our natural resources in a way that puts rural Colorado first. “Creating an environment for economic growth, supporting American energy production, cutting burdensome regulations, and holding the federal government accountable will be my priorities on these two vital Subcommittees of the Committee on Oversight and Government Accountability. For far too long, rogue, government bureaucrats have ignored and infringed on the freedoms of the people of Colorado’s Third District.” Background: In the 117th Congress, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was a leader on water issues impacting Colorado’s Third District: Supporting 566 water projects that would provide new or improved ditches, pipelines, conveyance, and storage for Conejos, Alamosa, Rio Grande, and Mineral counties.

Congresswoman Boebert stated, “Leftists need to move past political stunts like trying to strip Members of Congress of their Constitutional rights to protect themselves while they sit on the House Committee on Natural Resources and instead address the real issues facing this Committee, like western water, which is so important for rural Colorado." Background: Since 1967, the U.S. Capitol Police Board’s regulations have authorized Members of Congress to transport firearms on the Capitol Campus everywhere, except in three very specific locations: The House Floor, the Speaker’s Lobby, and the Rayburn Room. The Capitol Police Board permits Members to transport firearms for their personal protection everywhere else on the Capitol Campus, including all Committee rooms. Prohibiting Members from exercising their Second Amendment rights while they sit on the House Committee on Natural Resources would be a colossal waste of government resources. If this frivolous rule would have passed, would it have required Capitol Police to guard every entrance to this Committee room and ask them to stop and frisk every Member before entering for every hearing and every markup for the entire Congress? Additionally, prohibiting Members of Congress from exercising their Second Amendment rights while they sit on Committee sets a dangerous precedent with threats against Members of Congress at an all-time-high. In the last Congress, a deranged individual was arrested by the FBI for threats made against Congresswoman Boebert. Sadly, there is a long history of threats made against individual Members of Congress. In March of 1954, four members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party opened fire onto the House floor and wounded five Members.

Congresswoman Boebert’s amendments to H.R. 21, the Strategic Response Production Act, will increase government transparency, help reduce gas prices, increase American energy production, and protect Colorado energy jobs. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “The Strategic Production Response Act works to regain America’s energy independence while also preventing a rogue administration from raiding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in a nonemergency situation as was done by the Biden administration. The Reserve has ‘strategic’ in its name for a reason. With the historic changes to the House rules that we secured, the House is now functioning as it should, with Members on both sides of the aisle debating and voting on policy issues that will help the American people. The American people want solutions, not just rhetoric, and that’s exactly what we accomplished with these three amendments that will help lower gas prices and responsibly increase energy production on federal lands.” Background: As part of the historic changes to the House rules that Congresswoman Boebert spearheaded, Members are now able to make more substantive amendments, engage in more debate, and create policy solutions that benefit the American people. Three of Congresswoman Boebert's amendments passed the House with bipartisan support: Congresswoman Boebert’s Amendment No. 32 passed the House by unanimous consent.

Planned Parenthood claims these funds go to healthcare for women, but last year, Planned Parenthood performed a record number of abortions while also reducing the number of well-woman exams and breast cancer screenings it performed. Instead of funding Planned Parenthood, my bill will redirect this funding to community health centers that actually meet the health needs of women across the country.” Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America said, “There’s no single entity that stands to make a profit off the violence of abortion more than Planned Parenthood. Deceitfully, Planned Parenthood guises their business model as one that helps women while their latest annual report shows they made $633 MILLION from taxpayers while ending 383,460 little lives in that same time frame. Screening services to help women were all down by double digit percentages proving they’re in the business of abortion. Students for Life Action applauds Rep. Boebert and her colleagues for cutting funds from this abortion giant while lifting up the local pregnancy centers that stand to gain nothing from helping women facing crisis pregnancy.” Background: From 2020-2021, the government gave $633 million—or over $1.7 million per day—in taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood’s business model is to prioritize abortions above all else. Since 2010, Planned Parenthood has reduced its cancer screening by 74%, prenatal care by 72%, and contraceptive services by 41%. Instead of funding Planned Parenthood, Congresswoman Boebert’s legislation redirects $235 million to funding community health centers across the country that provide healthcare for women.

I look forward to working with Chairman James Comer and supporting his mission to eliminate mismanagement in the federal government by investigating the border and fentanyl crises, COVID relief fraud, government collusion with big tech to censor Americans, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, the energy crisis, COVID origins, and the Biden family’s shady business schemes.” Background: Under Chairman James Comer’s leadership, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability will get back to its original purpose of advocating for taxpayers by investigating reports of waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government. Chairman Comer and Rep. Boebert will work together to address some of the Oversight Committee’s top priorities for the 118th Congress, including: Investigating the border and fentanyl crises. Since Biden took office, over 4.35 million illegal aliens have crossed our border. This has fueled our nation’s crime crisis, with Border Patrol encountering over 120 murderers, almost 900 sex offenders, almost 5,000 for drug traffickers, and almost 700 weapons traffickers since Biden took office. In the midst of this crime wave at the southern border, enough fentanyl to kill every American 19 times over has crossed the border. The border crisis is devastating rural Colorado. Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for adults ages 18-45 and killed 71,238 Americans in 2021, including more than 900 Coloradans. Additionally, the border crisis costs Colorado an estimated $1.1 billion per year, wit… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:08:17Z

Boebert Votes to Protect the Right to Life 2023-01-12 2023 2023-01 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Yesterday, Congresswoman Boebert voted to defend the right to life by voting for the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, legislation she cosponsored to stop the horrific practice of refusing medical care to babies who survive late term abortions. Additionally, Congresswoman Boebert cosponsored and voted for a resolution to condemn the nearly 80 documented attacks on pro-life facilities and 108 attacks on churches across the country following the Supreme Court decision leak. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Americans overwhelmingly reject the Democrats’ extremist views on abortion. 77% of Americans believe that a baby who survives a failed abortion attempt should receive the same lifesaving medical care as any other premature baby born at the same age. However, only one Democrat House Member agreed and voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Democrats’ radical view on abortion is out of step with the rest of the country. “Additionally, since the infamous Supreme Court leak, there have been almost 80 attacks against pro-life pregnancy resource centers that serve underprivileged mothers, connecting them with the services and resources they need while navigating challenging pregnancies. These violent attackers have firebombed, vandalized, and destroyed, but they cannot overcome the courage of brave pro-life leaders across the country.” Background on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act: Since Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973, over 17,855 babies have survived a failed abortion attempt. Fourteen of these survivors had the courage to share their stories publicly. Many abortion survivors, including Melissa Ohden, have testified before Congress about how lifesaving care ensured that her young life did not end on the operating table of an abortion clinic. Additionally, Gianna Jessen testified before the House Judiciary Committee about how she survived an attempted late-term abortion when her mother was seven-and-a-half months pregnant. In 2002, when the bill was first … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:08:17Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/case-you-missed-it-rep-boeberts-statement-voting-defund-87000-new-irs-agents In Case You Missed it: Rep. Boebert’s Statement on Voting to Defund 87,000 New IRS Agents 2023-01-11 2023 2023-01 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Congresswoman Lauren Boebert cast her first vote in the 118th Congress to defund Democrats’ proposal to hire 87,000 new IRS agents. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “House Republicans are keeping our promises to the American people by defunding the 87,000 IRS agents put in place by House Democrats last year. The bill is two pages not thousands, it has one subject, and zero earmarks. Also, this bill will help stop the harassment of American citizens by preventing those 87,000 IRS agents from ever being hired. That’s conservative governance at its finest: more freedom, less government—and we are just getting started.” Background: Last year, House Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which authorized hiring 87,000 new IRS agents, doubling the size of the IRS. The new IRS agents were needed to audit more middle-class families to make sure they were paying for the expensive provisions in the bill, including the $378 billion in new radical Green New Deal spending; the new EPA-run national climate bank; $1.5 billion for “tree equity”; and $1 billion for electric garbage trucks, postal trucks, and school busses. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed that the 87,000 new IRS agents were not going to be going after tax cheats—rather, they would be targeting middle-class families making less than $400,000 per year. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:08:17Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-boeberts-full-statement-historic-victories-house-conservatives Congresswoman Boebert's Full Statement on the Historic Victories House Conservatives Secured 2023-01-07 2023 2023-01 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper House conservatives delivered a massive victory for the American people by fundamentally changing the way Congress will operate. We changed the way bills will be passed. We changed the way the government will be funded. We changed the way committees will be formed. We secured votes on term limits, the fair tax, the Texas Border Plan, and so much more. Here’s what I hope America saw this week: 1. The first one has nothing to do with politics. It’s this: A few voices can make a big difference. This isn’t just about politics. If you’re a mom or a student, a truck driver or a server, if you believe in something and will stand by that belief, you can make a meaningful change. 2. Congress has been broken. From the way we spend money to the way Pelosi consolidated power to the Speakership, it's broken, and House conservatives are working to fix it. 3. It’s better to get things right than to get them quickly. 4. When Congress actually functions as intended, when were all on the Floor debating a path forward, the result is far better for the American people than when governing is done behind closed doors. This past week we all delivered on the promises we made to our constituents. They told us Congress is broken, and we promised to work on fixing it. We’ve done just that. But we’ve got more to deliver on. We will work to close the southern border, increase domestic energy production, lower government spending, curb inflation, and so much more. From the Speaker’s office to my more moderate colleagues, even those I’ve exchanged some tough words with, we will all work together to deliver conservative solutions on these issues for the American people. I want to close by responding to one criticism that has been cast on what took place this week. Joe Biden said this has been embarrassing for Republicans. How sad is it that us governing as the founders intended looks embarrassing to Democrats? It should look like the norm. I’ll tell you what’s embarrassing. 40-year high inflation is embarrassing. 5 million illegals cro… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T23:08:17Z
