Lauren Boebert's "Fish Recovery Bill" Signed Into Law 2024-12-26 2024 2024-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. — A negotiated version of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Endangered Fish Recovery Programs Reauthorization Act was signed into law this week. “Ensuring protection for four threatened and endangered species of fish in Colorado while also allowing thousands of water and power users to continue their operations without interruption is common sense," said Congresswoman Boebert. "I am thrilled that we were able to provide long-term certainty for this important program and finally get this legislation signed into law." Background: A negotiated version of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s bill H.R. 4596, the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Endangered Fish Recovery Programs Reauthorization Act, was signed into law as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. The language provides a seven-year reauthorization of the Upper Colorado and San Juan Recovery Programs that protect four threatened and endangered native fish species in the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins. The House of Representatives previously passed H.R. 4596 with unanimous bipartisan consent on 9/24/24. To read more click HERE.

The Upper Colorado and San Juan Recovery Programs were established in 1988 to achieve full recovery of four federally listed endangered fish species including the humpback chub, bonytail, Colorado pikeminnow, and razorback sucker. Those designations led to the threat of significant water and power-use restrictions. The recovery programs facilitate water delivery from the Navajo, Flaming Gorge, and Aspinall Unit reservoirs which collectively can store more than 6.5 million acre-feet of water as part of the Colorado River Storage Project. For over three decades, states, tribes, local communities, environmental groups, energy users, and water users, have partnered to help rec… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

The legislation directs the Bureau of Land Management to sell a parcel of land to Mesa County for economic development in Clifton, Colorado. Rep. Boebert’s CONVEY Act now heads to the White House to be signed into law. “My CONVEY Act will bring jobs to Mesa County and foster long-term economic growth on the West Slope by removing the bureaucratic red tape that has stalled this conveyance for more than six years. I thank Senator John Hickenlooper for his willingness to fight for this bill and its passage in the United States Senate and all of my colleagues in Congress for recognizing the importance of my legislation and voting in favor of it. I am also thankful for Minority Leader and former Mesa County Commissioner Rose Pugliese’s work on this issue over the years, and without her efforts, this bill likely wouldn’t exist. This was a longtime coming and I’m thrilled that this legislation will finally be signed into law,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “After years of work for Mesa County on this project, it is incredible to see the CONVEY Act now passed through both chambers of Congress. This investment will provide a necessary boost to the economy on the Western Slope and allow this land to be put to good use for rural Coloradans. I am deeply thankful to Congresswoman Boebert for her tireless work on this bill and to Senator Hickenlooper for ensuring the CONVEY Act passed the Senate," said Colorado House Republican Minority Leader and Former Mesa County Commissioner Rose Pugliese. “Passing this latest hurdle is another win for Mesa County and our economy, which will benefit greatly from the CONVEY Act," said Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland. "Our community needs creative opportunities for job growth and the CONVEY Act does just that. Thank you to Congresswoman Lauren Boebert for continuing her work on this bill and standing up for rural Col… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

Ensuring protection for four threatened and endangered species of fish in Colorado while also allowing thousands of power and water users to continue their operations without interruption is common sense. This important legislation, which I was proud to work on with Senator John Hickenlooper, provides stability to these projects for the next seven years as they provide power to Coloradans and residents of states across the West. It is a reasonable solution that balances responsible protection of our rivers and the need to create affordable power for Americans and I am proud to know this legislation will be enacted soon for the betterment of Colorado."

Lauren Boebert Votes To Support The Troops 2024-12-13 2024 2024-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) released the following statement after voting to support funding for our troops and in favor of H.R. 5009, the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25 NDAA): “Ensuring our patriotic men and women in uniform have the resources they need to safely accomplish their missions is one of the foremost duties of Congress. This year’s NDAA that passed the House with my support fully funds our national defense, cuts more than $30 billion from inefficient programs, roots out wokeness, deters Chinese Communist Party aggression, supports Israel, and even cracks down on the Biden border invasion. Our servicemembers, who have been neglected by the Biden Regime for the past four years, are the best among us and inspire the best within us. I am certain under the incoming Trump Administration, we will ensure our military is stronger than ever,” said Congresswoman Boebert. Background: This week the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5009, the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25 NDAA) with a vote of 281-140.

https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-passes-rep-lauren-boeberts-bipartisan-zip-code-bill House Passes Rep. Lauren Boebert's Bipartisan Zip Code Bill 2024-12-11 2024 2024-12 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON D.C.-- U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) successfully passed her bipartisan Zip Code bill, H.R. 8753, unanimously through the U.S. House of Representatives today. This bipartisan bill, which now heads to the U.S. Senate, benefits communities throughout the country by requiring the Postal Service to formally designate unique zip codes within their system for 51 specific cities and towns including the Colorado communities of Silver Cliff, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Centennial, Severance, Greenwood Village, and Superior. “After years of small cities and towns across America being ignored, I am very grateful and proud to have passed the bipartisan H.R. 8753 unanimously through the House to help 51 communities receive a unique zip code,” said Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03). “Residents in these communities will see clear benefits through a unique zip code for their town, from more of their tax revenue staying and benefitting their communities to improving the response times of first responders, which could save lives and reduce crime. We haven’t had an updated zip code bill pass through Congress in almost two decades. When small towns and communities in Colorado come to me, I listen, I take action, and I get things done for Coloradans and Americans. I urge the U.S. Senate to take up H.R. 8753 expeditiously and get this bipartisan bill that unanimously passed the House signed into law.” "As Mayor of Castle Pines, I've seen firsthand how the lack of a unique ZIP code impacts our residents' daily lives - from emergency response delays to sales tax revenue misallocations to basic mail delivery challenges," said Castle Pines Mayor Tracy Engerman. "While Castle Pines supports any legislative effort to address ZIP code reform, we recognize this is a national issue affecting cities across America. We appreciate Congresswoman Boebert's Colorado focus and national attention to this matter and look forward to continuing our work with both her and our broader national coalition partners to ensure all growi… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z

Lauren Boebert Demands Answers from Biden-Harris Administration on Transportation of Illegal Aliens Following Viral Video 2024-10-24 2024 2024-10 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. — This week, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) sent a demand for information to Acting Director Patrick J. Lechleitner of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Administrator David Pekoske of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regarding the careless transportation of illegal aliens throughout the United States of America. A video has recently surfaced at the El Paso Airport in which a TSA agent states that illegal aliens have a “different process on a need-to-know basis”. As a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, Congresswoman Boebert has sent a demand for information to ICE, DHS, and TSA following the unacceptable and inexcusable response from the TSA agent. The full demand for information from Congresswoman Boebert can be found HERE. Additionally, an exclusive article from The Blaze on the congresswoman’s letter can also be found HERE. LETTER TO SECRETARY MAYORKAS, ADMINISTRATOR PEKOSKE, AND DIRECTOR LECHLEITNER: Dear Secretary Mayorkas, Administrator Pekoske, and Director Lechleitner, I write to express my concern for the safety and security of Americans as we enter the busiest travel season of the year. With the upcoming holiday season approaching, many Americans look forward to traveling across the country to see their family and friends. As an influx of illegal aliens continues to infiltrate our border, the safety and security of American citizens is put at an all-time risk. A video has recently surfaced at the El Paso Airport in which a TSA agent states that illegal aliens have a “different process on a need-to-know basis”. The response from this agent is unacceptable and inexcusable. This is especially concerning because the Biden-Harris regime is carelessly permitting migrants to use their Border Patrol arrest paperwork or even the CBP One app as identification. Meanwhile, American citizens in my district have been told they do not have the right … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Lauren Boebert Condemns Western Land Grab from Biden-Harris Administration 2024-10-22 2024 2024-10 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. — U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03), House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (AR-04), and Western Slope Oil & Gas Association Executive Director Chelsie Miera released the following statements opposing the latest Colorado-Utah land grab by the Biden-Harris Administration's Bureau of Land Management (BLM). “Once again, the Biden-Harris Administration and the radical progressives in charge of BLM are attempting to lock up our public lands from critical uses like oil & gas exploration. Instead of putting Coloradans first, they're continuing to bend the knee to Green New Deal worshippers who want to destroy Colorado's oil & gas industry and the tens of thousands of good-paying jobs that support families across the state. Our children will lose out on millions of dollars for education from this tyrannical seizure of our land and there is nothing balanced about it. Obama, Biden and Harris have tried to use the Gunnison Sage-Grouse's ugly, non-endangered cousin, the Greater Sage-Grouse, to lock up more than 183 million acres in the West. This new land grab attempt doubles down to lock up tens of millions of acres more of surface and subsurface mineral rights. There was no consideration by this regime of what is actually best for all Coloradans. I will fight this newest land grab just like I've done for every ridiculous attempt from the Biden-Harris Administration and BLM to damage our economy.” said Congresswoman Boebert. “This is just the latest attempt from BLM to prioritize environmental activists over the economic needs of local communities,” said House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (AR-04). “By limiting the ability of domestic energy producers to use our public lands, the Biden-Harris Administration will continue to drive up energy costs for hard working American families. House Republicans will work to stop this nonsensical war on American energy and will make sure Americans know that we cannot trust this Administration when it comes to sup… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-lauren-boebert-introduces-legislation-promote-private-sector-competition Rep. Lauren Boebert Introduces Legislation to Promote Private Sector Competition in Microtransit Services 2024-09-26 2024 2024-09 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. — U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) released the following statement after introduction of H.R. 9756, legislation that ensures private sector competition in microtransit services: The “Private Sector Competition in Microtransit Act” would require any state or local government that receives federal funds to operate microtransit services enter into a contract with a private entity for the operation of such services. “Microtransit is a critical service, especially for our elderly and disabled citizens who often face barriers to accessing traditional public transportation. These small-scale, on-demand services provide a vital lifeline to individuals who need to get to medical appointments, grocery stores, or simply visit loved ones. Unfortunately, government-run microtransit services are putting private-sector businesses at a disadvantage, often driving them out of the market. This results in higher costs for taxpayers—2 to 3 times more than what the private sector can offer—and less innovation and efficiency. My legislation will level the playing field by encouraging private-sector participation and reducing government interference. This will not only lead to better services for those who depend on microtransit, but it will also ensure that our taxpayers' dollars are used more effectively,” said Congresswoman Boebert. "We are grateful for Rep. Lauren Boebert’s introduction of H.R. 9756, which creates opportunities for private sector small businesses through microtransit initiatives. Promoting microtransit will empower local small businesses to thrive, improve transportation access, and strengthen our economy. This legislation makes sense for local communities in Douglas County and across Colorado, and we look forward to working on its passage with Congresswoman Boebert.” –Joint Statement by Douglas County Commissioners Abe Laydon, George Teal, and Lora Thomas “I have been deeply encouraged by Representative Boebert’s willingness to take meaningful action on issues of importance to Dougla… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

As long as there are radical Leftists who continue to threaten our God-given right to bear arms, I will always stand in the breach ready to defend our Constitutional rights. Thank you to the NSSF for the A+ rating and Dean’s List recognition for being a champion of the Second Amendment, sportsmen, and gun owners across America,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “The 2024 NSSF Congressional Report Card is a comprehensive analysis of our elected representatives’ positions on firearm and ammunition industry priorities in the 118th Congress. The Report Card’s grades are based on key votes, co-sponsorships, committee activity, floor speeches, and other official actions by Senators and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Members of our industry are grateful to have so many strong allies in the Halls of Congress,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President for Government & Public Affairs and General Counsel. “NSSF is proud to especially recognize Representative Boebert as a member of the new NSSF Congressional Dean’s List for her exemplary leadership in supporting the firearm and ammunition industry and the nearly 400,000 hardworking Americans employed in the industry. Making the Dean’s List is special recognition that Rep. Boebert has gone above and beyond to protect and preserve the Second Amendment rights of her constituents and the industry that makes the exercise of those rights possible. We applaud Rep. Boebert for her exemplary level of support.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Federal agencies have to stop spending billions of dollars on the backend putting out fires and shift to a comprehensive, proactive approach. The Fix Our Forests Act and my four amendments do exactly that and are the type of solutions needed in the West and Colorado. I thank House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman for his support on all four of my amendments, and I urge the Senate to take up his critical legislation,” said Congresswoman Boebert. Background, courtesy of the House Natural Resources Committee: The Fix Our Forests Act is a historic and comprehensive package that will encourage active forest management and support community resiliency to wildfires by expediting environmental analyses, reducing frivolous lawsuits and increasing the pace and scale of forest restoration projects. The bill will: Simplify and expedite environmental reviews for forest management projects Promote federal, state, tribal and local collaboration Deter frivolous litigation that delays essential projects Create a framework for prioritizing treatments in the forests at highest risk of wildfire Encourage adoption of state-of-the-art science and data for federal land managers Encourage active management to improve the safety of powerlines and other infrastructure Strengthen tools like Good Neighbor Authority and Stewardship Contracting Information on Rep.

With strong bicameral, bipartisan momentum and significant stakeholder support, I'm confident this bill will become law and this important program will be reauthorized,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “Congresswoman Boebert is true fighter for Colorado’s rich biodiversity, and her bill to reauthorize the endangered fish recovery programs in the San Juan and Upper Colorado River Basins will ensure these species are healthy for future generations to enjoy.

H.R. 9755, the “Human Trafficking Fingerprint Background Check Protection Act of 2024”, would require owners and employees of massage wellness spas to undergo fingerprint-based background checks to mitigate the risk of human trafficking and enhance public safety. “Massage wellness spas have been identified by law enforcement as one of the primary locations for criminals engaged in human trafficking. My legislation will require all owners and employees of these establishments to undergo fingerprint-based background checks. This simple but effective measure will help close off one of the primary avenues used by traffickers to exploit children and other vulnerable individuals. By implementing this safeguard, we can take a stand to protect families and ensure these businesses aren’t operating as shady fronts for criminal enterprises,” said Congresswoman Boebert. "As commissioners of Douglas County, we wholeheartedly support Rep. Lauren Boebert’s introduction of critical legislation that targets human trafficking.

Lauren Boebert Votes to End Bailouts for Sanctuary Cities 2024-09-20 2024 2024-09 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) released the following statement after voting in favor of the “No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act.” The House of Representatives passed this legislation by a vote of 219-186, with 12 Democrats voting to advance the bill. “Kamala Harris's reign as Border Czar has been one of the most detrimental decisions for our national security in American history. Colorado's sanctuary policies for illegals encourage the surge from the Southern Border to our communities, like Aurora. That’s why I’m proud to have voted in favor of Congressman LaLota’s ‘No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act’ today. His legislation will prohibit federal funds from being used to bail out sanctuary cities. We need to disincentivize illegal immigration, and this bill is a great step in the right direction,” said Congresswoman Boebert. Background, courtesy of the House Majority Whip’s office: This legislation holds sanctuary cities accountable for exacerbating the Biden-Harris Border Crisis and flouting federal immigration law by prohibiting the use of taxpayer dollars to fund housing, healthcare, and other benefits for illegal immigrants in such municipalities. Despite the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act explicitly prohibiting any restriction on communication between state or local entities and federal immigration authorities relating to an individual’s immigration status, many Democrat-led jurisdictions like New York and California refuse to cooperate and enforce federal immigration law. Sanctuary policies incentivize illegal immigration, which has already hit historic levels thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s open borders policies, by promising free taxpayer-funded benefits. Woke mayors and governors are prioritizing illegal immigrants at the expense of residents, who are facing overburdened schools, hospitals, and other social services. They are also endangering the safety of both community members and the law enforcement officers who prot… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-boeberts-colorado-energy-prosperity-act-passes-resources-committee Rep. Boebert’s “Colorado Energy Prosperity Act” Passes Resources Committee with Bipartisan Support 2024-09-19 2024 2024-09 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) released the following statement after bipartisan passage of her legislation, H.R. 6547, the Colorado Energy Prosperity Act of 2024, in the House Natural Resources Committee: “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris continue to pander to radical Green New Deal extremists to try and eliminate fossil fuels at the expense of Colorado communities. If implemented, this Biden-Harris land grab will kill thousands of Colorado jobs, significantly reduce revenues for education, could increase gas prices for families and small businesses, and further undermines American energy independence. My legislation that passed the Natural Resources Committee blocks this bureaucratic land grab. Its far past time that we stopped begging foreign dictators to produce oil and gas for America. Instead, let’s responsibly develop American energy and stop pandering to national extremist environmental groups that don’t care about our local communities,” said Congresswoman Boebert. “Congresswoman Boebert is a staunch advocate for America’s energy and mineral production and a champion of Colorado’s energy producers. Her Colorado Energy Prosperity Act plays an essential role in fighting back against the Biden-Harris administration’s egregious bureaucratic overreaches, and I know she will continue working to unleash America’s domestic energy resources,” said House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman.

It’s time we get the AVC done for Colorado, and I look forward to working with Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper to getting this bill through both chambers of Congress.” Once completed, the Arkansas Valley Conduit will provide water to as many as 50,000 Coloradans across 39 communities in Pueblo, Otero, Bent, Kiowa, Prowers and Baca Counties. While the AVC was originally approved for construction in 1962, the project was never completed because local communities were unable to cover 100% of the costs. By eliminating interest payments, The Finish the AVC Act will ease the burden of inflation costs that have caused the original $640 million estimate of construction in 2019 to rise to over $1.3 billion. “This bill will ensure the federal government makes good on its promise to Southeastern Coloradans to deliver a safe and reliable water supply,” said Senator Bennet. “We have invested over $300 million to build the Arkansas Valley Conduit over the past decade and now we must ensure increased costs don’t stop this project in its tracks.” “Water has been the lifeblood of Colorado’s Arkansas River Valley since long before JFK promised to deliver them clean drinking water,” said Senator Hickenlooper. “Sixty years later, our bill will help Southeastern Colorado communities harness their resources to get the job done.” “This bill is needed to help the Arkansas Valley Conduit be economical enough to supply clean drinking water to communities in the lower Arkansas Valley,” said State Senator Rod Pelton, whose district covers Southeast Colorado. “As someone who represents the communities that will directly benefit from the Arkansas Valley Conduit, I am proud to support the efforts of Congresswoman Boebert … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Image September 6, 2024, Listening Session Roundtable on TdA Gang Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, "The purpose of the listening session roundtable was to get the truth and information out to Coloradans because, unfortunately, the fake news and liberal politicians with an agenda continue to downplay the violence and Venezuelan gang activity in Colorado. Shamefully, they claim the criminal activity we are seeing by these illegal Tren de Aragua gang members are figments of our imaginations and call us conspiracy theorists rather than trying to investigate what's really going on in order to help protect Coloradans. Instead of actually going in and doing whatever they can at any means necessary to expose the criminal activity and the violence that is taking place and the harm that is being caused, they want to cover up anything that does not go with their narrative of wide-open borders and sanctuary policies put forward by the Democrats. At our listening session roundtable, we heard firsthand testimony from local residents about how Tren de Aragua gang members have held families at gunpoint, kicked in doors and taken over apartments, shot up cars, stabbed tires and committed other violent crimes. Rather than denying the gang's existence, all elected officials and agencies need to work together to protect our communities from this terror and to ensure these illegal immigrant gang members are deported. Protecting the people of Colorado from the Tren de Aragua gang shouldn't be political or a partisan issue and that is why we invited numerous local elected officials on both sides of the aisle to participate in this listening session roundtable."

Democrats are misconstruing the purpose of facilities like these—which have been in operation for decades—in a ploy to abolish ICE by proxy, but the last thing Colorado needs are more criminals roaming our streets. High quality facilities like Aurora IPC are essential in keeping our communities safe and ensure that these illegal aliens do not stir up even more heartbreaking and avoidable criminal activity across Colorado.” Background: 400 Coloradans are employed at the Aurora IPC, which is owned and operated by GEO Group.

Lauren Boebert released the following statement after Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “Yesterday's humiliating performance during a House Oversight and Accountability Committee Hearing rightfully resulted in this woke and incompetent agency head resigning in shame for her agency's failure that allowed a gunman to almost assassinate President Trump. Cheatle instilled no confidence in the Secret Service, failed to answer basic questions, and continuously blamed the FBI while also trying to give the illusion that she was taking accountability. There have been a lot of bad Biden bureaucrats, but Director Cheatle proved to be one of the worst. While I'm pleased that my colleagues and I were able to deliver some accountability, the Secret Service and the assassination attempt on President Trump's life must still be fully and thoroughly investigated." Background Congresswoman Lauren Boebert helped lead the charge to hold Director Cheatle accountable for the agency’s incompetence that resulted in an assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump. Congresswoman Boebert and several of her colleagues grilled Director Cheatle the day before her resignation in a House Oversight and Accountability Committee Hearing that took place on Monday, July 22. After being adamant that she wouldn't resign, Cheatle finally caved following extreme pressure and opposition at the hearing from Members of Congress of both parties for the shocking Secret Service operation failures that almost lead to President Trump being killed. Congresswoman Boebert also introduced the Secret Service Accountability Act which explicitly prohibits federal funds from being used to pay the salary or expenses of Kimberly Cheatle, the Director of the United States Secret Service.

Congresswoman Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “Saturday’s assassination attempt on President Trump’s life was either intentional or the result of gross incompetence by the United States Secret Service. Under Director Cheatle's failed leadership, the United States Secret Service has prioritized woke DEI policies over the core responsibilities of the Secret Service, including protecting our nation’s leaders. This lack of leadership contributed to the first assassination attempt of a President in 43 years. Director Cheatle has got to go!” Background Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced the Secret Service Accountability Act to hold Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle accountable for the agency’s incompetence that resulted in an assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024. Specifically, the bill explicitly prohibits any federal funds from being used to pay the salary or expenses of Kimberly Cheatle, the Director of the United States Secret Service. During the Butler Rally, an assignation attempt was made on President Donald J. Trump, multiple shots were fired, and President Trump was shot in the upper right ear. One attendee, Corey Comperatore, was fatally shot and another two attendees were critically injured. The gunman was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene. According to the United States Secret Service agency website, Cheatle is responsible for executing the agency’s integrated mission of "protection and investigations by leading a diverse workforce." Cheatle is directly responsible for prioritizing woke DEI practices rather than focusing on hiring the best people to work for the agency.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “More than 30 communities throughout America are being negatively impacted by not having their own unique Zip Code. These municipalities deserve consistent mail service, their fair share of tax revenue, and the other economic benefits associated with having their own Zip Code. My bill will solve a host of 'real world' problems for these cities and towns by finally providing them with a definitive, representative and accurate Zip Code.” Silver Cliff Mayor Buck Wenzel stated, “This bill would restore the Town of Silver Cliff’s rightful identity and will guarantee that sales tax is properly distributed and received by our town and not by others. Silver Cliff’s Zip Code was arbitrarily and capriciously removed from use in 1991 and our town was forced to use another town's Zip Code. As such, the identity of our town was stolen and to date we have suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost sales taxes from online, out of county, and out of state sales. The citizens of Silver Cliff deserve for their taxes to be spent on the roads and other necessities that they use on a daily basis.” “The City of Lone Tree fully supports the proposed ZIP Code bill for Colorado communities,” said City of Lone Tree Mayor Marissa Harmon. “This federal legislation will empower us to better meet local needs for our residents and businesses, enhance efficiencies of service delivery, and strengthen our distinct community identities.” “The creation of a unique Zip Code would ensure sales tax is properly collected and reinvested into our community’s critical infrastructure and services,” said Castle Pines Mayor Tracy Engerman. “It would also help alleviate resident concerns about inconsistent postal deliveries.” City of C… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

Lauren Boebert and Rep. Harriet Hageman introduced a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to terminate the Biden Regime’s final Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “Green New Deal activists killed coal and good-paying jobs in Colorado. Now, the Biden Regime is trying to kill responsible oil and gas production through an overreaching new regulation that targets small businesses, undermines the law, discourages production, and will cause gas prices to increase further. Natural gas provides nearly 35% of Colorado's electricity generation and heats seven out of every 10 homes. The oil and gas industry supports 300,000 jobs in Colorado, comprises 11% of our state’s economy, and generates nearly $600 million annually for education. Biden's agency minions fail to recognize these benefits or that America is the world leader in emissions reductions because of significant advancements in technology for oil and gas production. Our bill will terminate the latest regulatory attack on the fossil fuel industry while providing relief for American families so they have access to reliable and affordable energy." Rep. Harriet Hageman (WY-AL) said, “This rule will devastate Wyoming's oil and gas industry. Over 85% of the oil and gas operators in Wyoming are small, locally owned, and operated companies. These 400+ Wyoming companies directly employ over 1,500 Wyoming residents. Should this rule be implemented, Wyoming companies will be cut out of the surety market, preventing essential revenue streams for the state, and killing meaningful jobs that keep our communities afloat. More fees, stricter regulations, ambiguity in the lease approval process – its all just another day at the office for a Biden administration that is doing everything in its power to eliminate fossil fuels. It is critical that Congress fights back and disapproves the Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process final rule.” Background: Rep. Lauren B… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:01:11Z

Designating Reclamation’s Power Resources Office at its Colorado headquarters as a one-stop shop for hydropower will reduce bureaucracy, lower costs, and help create good-paying jobs in rural America. My bill streamlines the permitting process and authorizes new non-federal hydropower development on Reclamation projects on a much larger scale to include diversion dams and other facilities. Further expanding clean hydro will help lower energy costs for American families and small businesses and create jobs in rural America.” Craig Horrell, General Manager for the Central Oregon Irrigation District, testifying on behalf of the Family Farm Alliance and the Deschutes Basin Board of Control said, “The bill represents another important step towards facilitating the development of clean, renewable energy on Reclamation projects…H.R. 8263 seeks to address many of the challenges faced by Reclamation-facility water managers by authorizing development of hydropower using all Reclamation facilities… H.R. 8263 extends two important protections in the underlying law to the expanded universe of Reclamation facilities authorized by the bill, including re-affirming hydropower development as secondary to water supply and delivery purposes and ensuring that there will be no financial and operational impacts to existing water users...Thank you again for this opportunity to testify in favor of H.R. 8263. This legislation is very important to the many beneficiaries of the federal projects within the Deschutes Basin Board of Control and throughout the arid West.

Farmers and ranchers are powerless to defend their livestock from wolf attacks and there have been 8 confirmed wolf livestock killings in April alone. Rather than celebrating the gray wolf recovery success story, leftists want to cower to radical environmentalists and keep them on the Endangered Species Act list forever. The gray wolf is fully recovered and should be delisted in the lower 48 states. Today’s bipartisan passage of my Trust the Science Act empowers states and puts people ahead of violent predators.” House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) said, “As a member of the ESA working group, Congresswoman Boebert has been a vocal champion for reforms to the bureaucratic red tape surrounding wildlife management. Her Trust the Science Act is a commonsense, pragmatic step forward to giving local communities power to manage the wildlife they know best instead of ceding control to radical environmentalists who think they know best. The bipartisan science is clear: it’s time to delist the gray wolf and celebrate it as an ESA success story.” "The weaponization of the Endangered Species Act by the Biden Administration and extreme environmentalists has been unrelenting and deeply disappointing,” said Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04). “By all metrics, the gray wolf population has recovered. But instead of pursuing common sense, science-backed approaches to delisting, this Administration continues to weaponize the ESA against private landowners. I’m proud to support this legislation that delists the gray wolf and returns management to the states, while eliminating activist judges from the process.” Background: The Trust the Science Act successfully passed the House today with a vote of 209-205 with bipartisan support.

This new regulation is a direct threat to rural America and violates the Federal Land Policy and Management Act's multiple-use mandate. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stated, “Biden’s bureaucrats’ so-called BLM Conservation Rule is just another misguided land grab meant to prevent oil and gas production at a time when sky-high gas prices and inflation are looting the pocketbooks of the American people. This new regulation is also an attack on our ranchers and farmers that will end grazing on federal lands and will also prevent Coloradans from accessing their public lands. I’ll be working closely with my colleagues on the Natural Resources Committee as well as the Western Caucus and Freedom Caucus to overturn this overreaching rule.” "This devastating decision threatens the western way of life and is a slap in the face for local communities who have diligently stewarded America's resources for generations. Access and the multiple uses of BLM land are an integral part of life in western states and is the backbone of rural economies across the country,” saidHouse Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (AR-04). “When this rule was proposed, several western governors, members of Congress, and thousands of Americans used BLM’s comment period to publicly share their opposition, yet their concerns have gone unheard. Today is another example of the Biden administration leaving local communities out of the conversation and blatantly disregarding input from the American families that are impacted the most. This rule fundamentally threatens the land we use to feed and fuel our country and is at best vaguely defined, unnecessary and burdensome.

My Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act will codify President Trump’s proven border policies that reduced illegal immigration to record lows. The Biden Regime’s intentional negligence has handed operational control of our borders to the cartels, resulting in an unprecedented surge in the trafficking of women and children as well as deadly fentanyl. We must close the border and end the invasion. The best way to do that is to build the wall and deport them all.” “With open arms, Joe Biden has welcomed millions of illegal aliens into our country since taking office, including terrorists and violent criminals. Lives are being destroyed, families are devastated and communities across our nation are being crushed. These lawbreakers should be deported, and the border sealed. The Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act does just that,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar (AZ-09). Rep.

Problems necessitate action and it is time for the implementation of an evidence-based solution backed with years of successful data from the Trump administration. I stand with Rep. Boebert to ensure the safety and security of the American people.” “Our border was more secure than ever under President Trump, and it is more vulnerable than ever under President Biden,” stated Congressman Barry Moore (AL-02). “If we do not return to Trump’s successful policies, we may not have a country anymore.

The American people are being subjected to an illegal alien crime wave caused by the left’s open-border and sanctuary city policies that have resulted in the preventable deaths of victims like Laken Riley. Had Biden’s bureaucrats enforced the law, Laken Riley’s alleged killer would have been deported and not released into the country in the first place. Parents and loved ones should not have to suffer because of the reckless open-border policies of the Biden Regime.

Because the Biden administration abused parole authority, Ibarra was released into the United States. Ibarra was subsequently arrested in New York City – a sanctuary city – for driving a scooter with a child without a license. The New York Police Department released Ibarra in August of 2022. In October 2023, Ibarra was arrested in Athens, Georgia, for shoplifting and again in December of 2023 for failure to appear for a fingerprintable offense.

https://boebert.house.gov/LNGExportBan Congresswoman Boebert Votes to Overturn Biden's LNG Export Ban 2024-02-15 2024 2024-02 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Today, the House passed H.R. 7176, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2024, to overturn the Biden Regime's tyrannical freeze on new liquefied natural gas export approvals. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, "Joe Biden's war on American energy is destroying our country. The United States produces the cleanest oil and gas in the world under the highest standards. Rather than trying to kill oil and gas in America, Green New Deal activists should embrace these responsible energy sources if they really care about reducing emissions in the U.S. To put a freeze on liquefied natural gas exports at a time when our economy is still in shambles from Bidenomics is both reckless and shameful. Rather than catering to radical climate change extremists, Joe Biden and his bureaucratic minions should do what's best for the American people, unleash all of our energy sources, and export freedom and LNG around the world." Background: Today, the House passed H.R. 7176, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2024, with a bipartisan vote of 224-200 that included nine Democrats voting in favor of the bill. On January 26th, the Biden Regime announced it was halting the permitting process for new LNG exports following pressure from radical climate change activists seeking to abolish American energy production. According to the American Petroleum Institute, increasing LNG exports could create 453,000 jobs and add $73 billion to the economy by 2040. Halting these LNG projects and restricting the import and export of responsible energy worldwide will have highly adverse consequences, including higher domestic prices and job losses. It's crucial to highlight that approximately 87% of LNG exports are destined for the European Union, the United Kingdom, and allies in Asia. Halting energy exports to these nations can create severe vulnerabilities in their security and force them to rely on adversaries like Russia, Iran and Venezuela for their energy needs. The climate activists pushing this misguided freeze are… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-boebert-votes-impeach-alejandro-mayorkas-1 Congresswoman Boebert Votes to Impeach Alejandro Mayorkas 2024-02-13 2024 2024-02 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Tonight, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert voted to impeach United States Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, for orchestrating the worst border crisis in American history. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “I voted to impeach Mayorkas for facilitating an invasion at our southern border and intentionally neglecting his most basic duties to protect the homeland and the American people. Mayorkas has released more than 6.2 million illegals into our communities, including terrorists and criminals. Mayorkas has lied, he has violated 10 laws passed by Congress, and he has disregarded his oath to the Constitution. Today, the House of Representatives held this liar and rogue bureaucrat accountable to the American people.” Background: This is the first time in American history that the Secretary of Homeland Security has been impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives. Since taking office in 2021, Secretary Mayorkas has orchestrated an outright invasion at our southern border. In 2021 alone, he greenlit an unprecedented 1.6 million illegal entries into the country. By 2022, that number surged to a staggering 2.2 million; in 2023, it skyrocketed to a historic high of 3.2 million. The cumulative toll stands at over 8 million illegal border crossings, with a jaw-dropping 6.2 million individuals unleashed into the U.S. The current crisis at the border has led to a disturbing rise in human trafficking cases. In 2022 alone, the number of arrests related to human trafficking has shot up by 50%, while the number of convictions has soared by 80%. This alarming trend is exacerbated by the fact that a vast majority, or 72%, of the individuals being trafficked in the United States are immigrants, with most of them being undocumented. Even more concerning is the unprecedented surge of lethal fentanyl that is flowing across the borders, causing the daily loss of American lives. In Colorado, there were over 1,800 deaths from fatal fentanyl overdoses in 2023, nearly double the record number set in 2022. The sh… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z

While Congresswoman Boebert has had a ton of legislative success, this is her first standalone bill to pass the House. For a detailed list of some of Congresswoman Boebert’s accomplishments to date, click HERE. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “My CONVEY Act will bring jobs to Mesa County and create long-term economic growth in the region by removing the bureaucratic red tape that has stalled this conveyance for more than five years. I am thankful for Minority Leader and former Mesa County Commissioner Rose Pugliese’s work on this issue over the years, and without her efforts, this bill likely wouldn’t exist. I look forward to getting this bill signed into law and finally getting this land sale done for the people of Mesa County.” Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-4) said, “I commend Representative Boebert for her diligent work bringing together stakeholders in this community to solve an important local problem. Her legislation will provide new economic opportunities in Colorado and help the federal government focus their resources on delivering better customer service. I look forward to working with her to get this legislation signed into law.” Colorado House Republican Minority Leader and Former Mesa County Commissioner Rose Pugliesesaid, “Passing the Convey Act is an important step to enhancing rural economic development. It is frustrating that it took a literal Act of Congress to get this land conveyed to a local government partner. In a county like Mesa County, Colorado where 72 percent of the land is federal land, it is important that the federal government work with local governments to provide economic opportunities in these communities. Thank you to Congresswoman Boebert for her leadership in developing economic development in rural areas o… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z
https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-boebert-defends-farmers-and-ranchers-tyrannical-government Congresswoman Boebert Defends Farmers and Ranchers from Tyrannical Government Overreach 2024-02-05 2024 2024-02 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and several members of the House Committee on Natural Resources took on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Director Martha Williams, calling out her agency's attempts to overpower lower the 48 states management of the gray wolf. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “Gray wolves are thriving and are fully recovered. It's absurd that this species still enjoys taxpayer funded protections under the Endangered Species Act. How many more ranchers and farmers must endure losses because the Biden Regime refuses to comply with the law and delist a species that has unnecessarily lingered on the ESA list for nearly 50 years? It's far past time the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services acknowledges the undeniable local recovery efforts and returns management back to the states. Our hardworking agricultural communities deserve better.” Background: Congresswoman Boebert and several members of the House Committee on Natural Resources slammed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's announcement entitled 'National Dialogue Around Working Landscapes and Gray Wolves' in a letter sent to the agency. This proposal not only undermines states' ability to govern but also threatens to impose tyrannical regulations and land grabs through gray wolves management actions. Congresswoman Boebert is taking a stand against this overreach and defending states' rights. Congresswoman Boebert and the Committee’s letter raises concerns that “under the vague parameters of the Service's proposal, the Service could begin to dictate to states what their management approaches should be. Perhaps more concerning, they could utilize this proposal as a proxy to relist wolves in the Northern Rockies without the support of the impacted States.” The evidence is clear – with more than 6,000 wolves thriving in the Great Lakes region alone, the gray wolf has successfully recovered in the lower 48 states. Yet, the Biden Regime, bowing to radical environmental groups, persists in keeping gray wolves on the Endangered Species List. It's time to prio… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z
https://boebert.house.gov/FentanylWMDAct Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Reintroduces Legislation to Protect our Children by Classifying Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction 2024-02-01 2024 2024-02 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Today, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert reintroduced the Fentanyl is a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) Act to protect our children and communities by classifying the deadly drug fentanyl as a WMD. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “As a mom of four boys, I will not stand by and watch as fentanyl floods across our border and poisons our youth. It's time to use the full force of the federal government to tackle this crisis. The Biden Border Invasion and this deadly drug are killing Americans. It is time to call fentanyl what it is: a weapon of mass destruction that is destroying our nation.” Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne (TX-24) said, “We are in a wartime scenario with more than 100,000 Americans, including more than 1,000 North Texans, dead from fentanyl poisoning. This deadly drug is smuggled into our country by Mexican drug cartels and supplied by the Chinese communists. In addition to working to secure the border and stop the flow of fentanyl into our communities, I’m supporting the Fentanyl is a Weapon of Mass Destruction Act because it will give our law enforcement officers much-needed tools to combat the lethal threat posed by fentanyl.” Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) said, “I am proud to co-sponsor the Fentanyl is a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) Act. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost to fentanyl in this country, and it is high time we take this issue as seriously as it is. This deadly drug is the #1 killer of our young people in America and is readily capable of being weaponized against the American people to inflict mass murder. Classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction would allow our law enforcement agencies, including DHS and Border Patrol, to better coordinate efforts to eliminate fentanyl from our streets and as a threat to national security." Congressman Bill Posey (FL-08) said, “Fentanyl pouring in our country through the southern border has become a massive epidemic and caused countless, pointless deaths. By asserting fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruct… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z

https://boebert.house.gov/nacsruling SEC Withdrawals NAC Rule Proposal Following Pressure from Congresswoman Boebert 2024-01-18 2024 2024-01 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Following pressure from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and the House Committee on Natural Resources, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced this week they are withdrawing their proposed rule which would have allowed foreign owned Natural Asset Companies (NACs) to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “America’s public lands are not for sale. The SEC and New York Stock Exchange have withdrawn their misguided proposal that would have allowed China, Russia, and other foreign adversaries to invest in companies whose sole purpose was to lock up federal lands and prevent energy development, farming, mining, and logging. We should utilize our federal lands for multiple-use including responsibly developing fossil fuels, agriculture, and our other natural resources right here in America.” Background: On October 4, 2023, the SEC published notice of a proposed rule, paving the way for the NYSE to list NACs. This new type of public company would allow foreign adversaries like China and Russia to control our national parks, federal lands, and private property. Unlike conventional companies focused on services or tangible goods, the SEC defined NACs as "a corporation whose primary purpose is to actively manage, maintain, restore, and grow the value of natural assets and their production of ecosystem services." Essentially, NACs would acquire rights to U.S. land, enabling them to hinder its utilization for natural resource production, including fossil fuel development, mining, logging, and large-scale farming—all explicitly prohibited by NACs in the current proposal. Consequently, NACs would empower shareholders, including foreign entities, to invest in companies explicitly dedicated to restricting land use and impeding the development of productive natural resources, especially within America’s national parks and public lands. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T23:46:48Z
https://boebert.house.gov/pelosi-spending-deal Congresswoman Boebert Blasts 'Pelosi-Esque' Spending Deal 2024-01-18 2024 2024-01 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Today, Congresswoman Boebert voted against the short-term Continuing Resolution that continues Nancy Pelosi’s inflationary spending and funds Joe Biden’s failed policies. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “Coloradans are struggling as they deal with the disastrous effects of Joe Biden and the Swamp’s inflationary spending. I didn’t run for Congress to stand by and watch out-of-touch politicians continue to sell out America. Rather than reining in the Swamp and clawing back wasteful federal spending, the CR kicks the can down the road and fails to make the necessary cuts that will prevent future generations from being saddled with mountains of debt. This Continuing Resolution is a slap in the face to every American suffering from Bidenomics, every American suffering from record high inflation, and every American that will suffer because their government decided to run up a $34 trillion dollar debt with no realistic plan to pay it back. “Nancy Pelosi would be proud of this reckless, bloated spending bill that ensures federal spending remains at the levels she set during her reign as Speaker. The American people deserve better than a Democrat wish list that does nothing to help their pocketbooks, does nothing to secure our Southern Border or terminate the Biden Regime’s amnesty policies, and does nothing to address our out-of-control national debt. Background: Today, Congresswoman Boebert and nearly 100 conservatives voted against the Continuing Resolution (CR) that continues Washington’s reckless spending spree through March 1 and March 8 with the passage of the Senate Amendment to H.R. 2871. The Continuing Resolution comes at a time when the national debt exceeds $34 trillion, inflation is at its highest in 40 years, and the country is facing its worst-ever border crisis. On Joe Biden’s watch, inflation and gas prices also reached record highs and the U.S. lost its prized AAA credit rating. Hard-working Americans are living paycheck to paycheck thanks to Bidenomics and struggling to afford basic expe… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T23:46:48Z
https://boebert.house.gov/tabor-will-not-be-taxed Victory for Coloradans! TABOR Refunds Will Not Be Taxed by IRS 2024-01-09 2024 2024-01 Republican House CO Lauren Boebert B000825 boebert.house.gov boebert https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Confirmation was received from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that TABOR refunds will not be taxed this tax season. This announcement follows a year-long campaign led by Congresswoman Boebert and the bipartisan Colorado delegation urging the IRS to adhere to a 30-year precedent of not taxing TABOR refunds. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “For the better part of a year, the bipartisan Colorado delegation and I have been fighting to protect Colorado taxpayer TABOR refunds from being seized by the IRS. Major victory today as TABOR refunds will not be the next victim of a tyrannical IRS that was seeking to ignore a 30-year-old rule that protects Coloradans from unnecessary taxation.” Background: On Tuesday, the IRS announced they will not be taxing TABOR refunds this tax season. This comes after a year long campaign from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and the bipartisan Colorado delegation pressuring the IRS to back off of plans to unnecessarily tax TABOR refunds. 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. The IRS has consistently refrained from categorizing TABOR refunds as taxable income. This historical practice aligns with the IRS's traditional respect for states' autonomy in designing and administering tax refund procedures. Maintaining this course of action makes logical sense and has been a consistent practice. As part of this pressure campaign, Congresswoman Boebert wrote three letters to the IRS in favor of protecting TABOR refunds. Check out the public comment letter from Colorado's bipartisan delegation sent on October 16th about TABOR refunds here. Read Congresswoman Boebert's letter sent on September 5th to Daniel Werfel, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service here. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T23:46:48Z
