For the people who think Lauren Boebert is doing her job, here’s a bit of information. She has voted against (just a sampling): the Human Trafficking Act; veteran aid for burn pits; Access to Baby Formula Act that required the government to waive certain requirements for low-income families using the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children; and the national bone marrow registry.
Others include the Violence Against Women Act; Equal Rights Amendment ratification (she actually said this bill was about giving LGBTQ people supremacy over the rest of America); protecting senior workers against discrimination in the workplace; Improving the Health of Children Act; expanding electric vehicle charging networks; protection from wildfires; improvements to public transportation; creating high paying jobs for infrastructure; and access to clean drinking water.
Some of them did pass, no thanks to her. A few months ago, she wrote an editorial in the Grand Junction’s The Daily Sentinel that touted nine wins, but she voted against every one of them. She is under investigation for breaking campaign law as of June 2022 (again).
Don’t you want a representative who actually tries to get things done for all of her constituents? Don’t you want a representative that isn’t in the office to grow her social media status? Don’t you want a representative who doesn’t pretend she’s a Christian? See her comments about Jesus carrying a gun. Jesus was about love, not hate or fear.
