Friend,
The Washington Times just broke a story that should alarm every voter in Colorado:
Lauren Boebert used campaign funds to go to a Kid Rock concert.
And while the behavior is disappointing, it is sadly not surprising.
Because this is exactly the kind of choice she makes when she thinks no one is paying attention.
And let me be clear about something:
Using campaign funds for personal entertainment is illegal.
Not questionable.
Not unethical.
Illegal.
When a leader shows you their priorities, believe them.
The heckling during the State of the Union.
The theatrics and shouting matches.
The public meltdowns and family scandals.
The mean-spirited division that helps no one.
We all remember the theater........
Every time she steps into the spotlight, she proves the same truth:
She is not here to serve - she is here to perform.
And while she performs, real life gets harder for the people she ignores.
Parents are choosing between groceries and childcare.
Farmers are fighting consolidation, drought, and rising costs.
Working families are stretched to the breaking point.
Yet instead of doing the job she was elected to do, instead of honoring the trust people placed in her, she uses donor money on a concert.
Not outreach.
Not advocacy.
Not constituent support.
A concert.
Another headline.
Another distraction.
Another embarrassment for Colorado's 4th District.
But here is the deeper truth.
This scandal is not just about one night at a concert.
It exposes a complete lack of integrity, accountability, and respect for the people she represents.
Colorado deserves better than this spectacle.
Colorado deserves a representative who understands responsibility.
And that is why I am running.
Not because I ever wanted to be a politician.
But because I come from a world where legal and ethical boundaries matter, where hard work matters, and where trust is something you do not ever get to throw away.
I did not come from political circles.
I came from shops, farms, machine rooms, night shifts, and long weeks spent grinding to give my kids a fair shot.
Working-class values are not my slogan - they built me.
They shaped my character.
They shaped my discipline.
They shaped my respect for the people who put their trust in me.
And that is the difference.
A working-class, grassroots movement can defeat her - because we are everything she is not.
If we want to replace spectacle with service,
If we want to end this embarrassing circus,
If we want leadership grounded in honesty, not attention-seeking,
Then we must build a campaign powered by people, not politics.
I am asking you directly
DONATE NOW! HELP US SEND HER HOME!
Every contribution is a choice:
A choice for integrity over illegality.
A choice for service over spectacle.
A choice for a Colorado that can finally hold its head high again.
And before I close, I want to leave you with the truth behind this entire campaign:
I'm John Padora - a working dad.
I come from the world she has forgotten.
I'm built different - and that is exactly why we can win this together.
Chip in now so we can seize this moment, hold her accountable, and finally give Colorado the honest leadership it deserves.
