U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) switched districts (from the 3rd to the 4th congressional district) and is running for retiring Representative Ken Buck‘s seat.
Campaigning in the “reddest district in the state” and receiving negative feedback from her fellow Republican candidates (accusations of being a “carpetbagger” and mentions of her vaping/groping incident in a theater) didn’t stop Boebert from winning the endorsement of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
I’m so honored to be endorsed by President Trump.
He knows that I’ll be fighting with him every step up of the way through his second term to Make America Great Again.

Today, Boebert is promoting a “MAGA Monday Money Bomb!” (The exclamation is hers.) The Congresswoman reports being “in the fight of my political career” and blames “the establishment” of doing “all they can to take me out.”
Boebert presents the notion that “without the funds to fight back, they just might win!” and provides a link to donate to her campaign.
It’s Monday and we’re going to do a MAGA Monday Money Bomb!

In January, Boebert finished in fifth place among nine Republican candidates in a straw poll, placing her behind Logan County commissioner and former state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, state Rep.

Note: Colorado’s congressional primaries (and the special election to temporarily fill Buck’s seat) are on June 25.
