On Wednesday, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert along with several members of the Congressional Western Caucus sent a letter to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director Tracy Stone-Manning urging her to rescind the proposed withdrawal of 1.6 million acres in Colorado from future oil and gas leasing. On August 4th, 2023, the Bureau of Land Management published a draft resource management plan (RMP) for the Colorado River Valley Field Office (CRVFO) and Grand Junction Field Office (GJFO). This plan could remove over 1.6 million acres of public lands in Colorado from future oil and gas leasing and establish nine different "Areas of Critical Environmental Concern" (ACECs) on over 100,000 acres of BLM land.

Big win today as my fish bill passed the Natural Resources Committee with unanimous, bipartisan support. This crucial step brings us closer to safeguarding four endangered fish species and providing long-term certainty for 2,500 water and power users that benefit from the program and would have to perform extremely burdensome Section 7 consultations for all 2,500 individual projects without it. These projects, serve various needs, utilizing over 3.69 million acre-feet of water each year. With strong bicameral, bipartisan momentum and significant stakeholder support, I'm confident that this bill will become law and this important program will be reauthorized

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel about the agency’s plans to tax Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) refunds for Coloradans. 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.

Congresswoman Boebert’s office has hosted over 216 mobile office hours in every county in the District, helped over 2,384 people, and returned over $5,281,818.37 to constituents.
