Biography

Overview

Lauren Boebert is a Republican U.S. Representative from Colorado's 4th congressional district, serving since 2025. She previously represented Colorado's 3rd district from 2021-2025. A gun rights activist and businesswoman, Boebert owned Shooters Grill restaurant in Rifle, Colorado from 2013-2022. She is known for her alignment with conservative and far-right Republican movements, including the Freedom Caucus and Republican Study Committee. Boebert was first elected in 2020 after defeating 5-term incumbent Scott Tipton in the Republican primary and winning the general election over Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush. She won reelection in 2022 by a narrow 546-vote margin and switched districts to run in Colorado's 4th in 2024, winning with nearly 53% of the vote.

Career

Boebert has introduced numerous bills focusing on energy development, gun rights, and immigration restrictions, though as of early 2022, none had passed committee. Recent sponsored bills include the Protecting American Energy Production Act, Rural Jobs and Hydropower Expansion Act, and the Abolish the ATF Act. She served as communications chair of the Freedom Caucus starting in January 2022. In January 2023, she was one of 20 far-right Republicans who prevented Kevin McCarthy's election to House speakership on the first 14 ballots. She has twice attempted to impeach President Biden—once in 2021 over Afghanistan troop withdrawal and again in 2023 over immigration policy. She objected to certifying Arizona's and Pennsylvania's Electoral College votes in 2021 and voted against resolutions honoring Capitol police.

Prior political experience

Boebert was first elected to Congress in 2020 after winning the Republican primary with 54.6% of the vote against 5-term incumbent Scott Tipton in an upset victory—the first primary challenge to defeat a sitting U.S. representative in Colorado in 48 years. In the general election, she defeated Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush 51.27% to 45.41%. In 2022, she narrowly won reelection against Democrat Adam Frisch by a margin of 546 votes out of 327,000 cast, which triggered an automatic recount that affirmed her victory. In 2024, after switching from Colorado's 3rd to the 4th congressional district, she won with nearly 53% of the vote in the more Republican-leaning district.
