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 called for reforms to make homeownership more reachable for hardworking Americans, warned about government drone surveillance and Chinese-made technology to protect Fourth Amendment rights, honored WWII veteran Norman Russell and his family, and voted to pass legislation to shield Colorado ratepayers from large data-center costs. Finally, I flew at the invitation of Colorado’s 120th Fighter Squadron in an F-16 and saw our Airmen in action. I’m always proud to support our armed services.
Thank you for standing with me. Together we will keep draining the swamp and putting Colorado first.
For freedom,
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert
