Thank you for being here and for trusting me to represent you.

It is an honor to serve you in Congress representing Colorado’s 4th Congressional District and fight every day for liberty, the Constitution, hard work, and common sense. In Washington the swamp never sleeps — and neither do I.

I am focused on delivering results for 4th District communities, supporting farmers, ranchers, and rural hospitals, fixing roads and bridges, making life more affordable by reducing costs, strengthening local schools, and improving access to quality health care.

This week I introduced the Veterans’ Mental Health Access Act so veterans in crisis can get inpatient mental health care when they need it, not weeks later. I also called on USTR and the FDA to tighten oversight of imported agricultural products and hold foreign producers to U.S. food safety standards. In the district this week, I proudly toured the Colorado State Forest Service Seedling Nursery and saw how its work supports forest health and reforestation across our state, and met with Larimer County Commissioners while touring local facilities and discussing issues important to the county and its communities.

Thank you for standing with me. Together we will keep draining the swamp and putting Colorado first.

For freedom,

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert
