| Friend, There’s a lot I wish I could tell my kids about this country. I wish I could tell them that hard work still gets rewarded. That doing the right thing means something. That the people in charge are fighting for them. But I can’t say that. Because it wouldn’t be true. We’re raising kids in a country where wages are stuck, rent is skyrocketing, childcare is out of control, and one accident or illness can wreck a family’s future. And while families like mine are scraping to get by, do you know what our current representative is doing? Posting memes. Picking fights. Embarrassing us on the national stage. Lauren Boebert isn’t fighting for your kids. She’s fighting for attention. She’s a walking culture war distraction while the real issues — housing, wages, healthcare, rural poverty — go completely ignored. Meanwhile, my kids are growing up watching the news, seeing school shootings, seeing wars, seeing people living in tents and wondering: “Why does it feel like nobody cares?” I wish I could tell them their leaders are doing everything they can. But Boebert’s not. She’s not leading. She’s chasing headlines, not solutions. She’s performing, not serving. That’s why I’m running. Will you chip in before our deadline to help us send Boebert packing and build something better?

ANOTHER AMOUNT Boebert’s made this district a punchline. I want to make it a place we’re proud to raise our kids in again. In solidarity,
