Lauren Boebert
I am an American politician, businesswoman, and gun rights activist serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado\'s 3rd congressional district. From 2013 to 2022, she owned Shooters Grill, a restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, where staff members were encouraged to carry firearms openly. A member of the Republican Party, I am known for gun rights. In the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado she unexpectedly defeated incumbent Scott Tipton in the primary election and went on to win the general election over Democratic nominee Diane Mitsch Bush, a former state representative. In Congress, I associated myself with the conservative Republican Study Committee, the right-wing Freedom Caucus, of which she became the communications chair in January 2022, and the pro-gun Second Amendment Caucus. She won reelection in 2022 by a narrow margin of 546 votes against former Aspen City Council member Adam Frisch. My views are broadly considered far-right. I am an ally and supporter of former president Donald Trump. his claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him and voted to overturn its results during the Electoral College vote count. I oppose transitioning to green energy, COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates, abortion, sex education, gender-affirming surgery for minors, and same-sex marriage. I advocate an isolationist foreign policy, but supports closer ties with Israel for religious reasons. A self-described born-again Christian, I said that I am \"tired of this separation of church and state junk\" and argued for greater church power and influence in government decision-making. My family depended on welfare when I was growing up, and that she was raised in a Democratic household in a liberal area. Records at the Colorado secretary of state\'s office show that her mother was registered to vote in Colorado as a Republican from 2001 to 2013 and as a Democrat from 2015 to 2020. At age 19, I registered to vote in 2006 as a Democrat; in 2008, I changed my affiliation to Republican.
