Boebert Bulletin: January 25, 2025

January 25, 2025

Good morning and welcome to the latest edition of the Boebert Bulletin, where you'll learn more about the work Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has done for the 4th District in Colorado and in Congress!

LEGISLATIVE WORK

To start the 119th Congress, Congresswoman Boebert has introduced six different pieces of legislation, including:

H.R. 128 - Classifying fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

“Back home in Colorado, almost everyone I talk to knows someone who has died from fentanyl. Fentanyl is America’s silent killer and is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45. The saddest thing about the fentanyl crisis is that it is preventable. National security experts know that the vast majority of deadly fentanyl plaguing our communities comes across the southern border. 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. It is time to call fentanyl what it is: a weapon of mass destruction that is destroying our nation.”

H.R. 131 - To make certain modifications to the repayment for the Arkansas Valley Conduit in the State of Colorado.

"Southeast Coloradans have been waiting for decades for the completion of the Arkansas Valley Conduit and the Finish the AVC Act will help local governments finally finish this major project. Rural families and businesses need access to clean, sustainable water they can depend on every day. 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.”
