Yesterday afternoon, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert successfully got her Pueblo Jobs Act approved through the House as part of the NDAA.
The bill, which will create 1,000 jobs in Southern Colorado for a community badly harmed by Bidenomics, is the first bill sponsored and introduced by Rep. Boebert that will be signed into law.
"This is a huge win for Pueblo and the 3rd District, as our entire region will benefit from 1,000 jobs being created in Southern Colorado. I'm immensely proud to have seen the hard work that went into the Pueblo Jobs Act pay off and very grateful for the bipartisan support we received from local stakeholders and elected officials to make this a reality," said Congresswoman Boebert.
You can read an in-depth interview with Congresswoman Boebert and the Pueblo Chieftain here, which discusses why the Congresswoman voted Yes. The bill also includes the largest pay raise for military service members in over two decades, as well as funding to build new schools for military children.
"I have to look at the service members who are in my district — and I am very proud of the raise that that they’re going to receive and the support that they’re going to get," said Congresswoman Boebert. "This was one of my more difficult votes and there are some things I do not like that were included in this bill. But I’ve learned in this job you do not always get what you want. Rarely ever do you get everything you want, but sometimes you have to make these compromises in order to make some changes as opposed to none."
In the interview with the Chieftain, Congresswoman Boebert also committed to working with Rep. Andy Biggs on a "great bill" of his that reforms FISA and protects the rights of Americans.
