Lauren Boebert - Proudly Serving the 3rd District Of Colorado
Dear
Friends,
This was a special week, since my entire team, including my
Washington D.C. staff, traveled with me throughout the District to hear
directly from the people that we are all blessed to serve. We are
happy warriors and are honored to be your voice in Congress, advocating
for you before federal agencies and creating solutions for the unique
challenges rural Colorado faces. Every member of my team shares my deep
love for Colorado and a sincere commitment to public service. If we
can ever do anything for you, please don't hesitate to reach
out.
Traveling With the Team
**Draining the Swamp**
My team and I visited the
Colorado Gators Reptile Park in Mosca to get some real-world
experience draining the Swamp! This family-owned small business is a fun and
unique tourist attraction in Southern Colorado.

After learning
about Colorado Gators' work saving alligators and other reptiles, we
went to Alamosa and had a great lunch at Nino's Del Sol Mexican
Restaurant with Alamosa's mayor, police chief, sheriff, county
commissioners, city administrator and county administrator. I am not satisfied with
the status quo, and my team and I will not follow the Washington way
of pandering to lobbyists, special-interest groups, and partisan
politics--rather, we are focused only on one thing: the priorities of the
people of Colorado's Third Congressional District. We are here to fight
for you, and we fight to win.

**Keeping the Bureau of Land
Management Headquarters in Grand Junction**
As vice-chair of the
Western Caucus, I was grateful to host our chairman, Congressman Dan
Newhouse (WA-04), at a roundtable with farmers, ranchers, small business
owners, outdoorsmen, and local leaders about the importance of keeping
the Bureau of Land Management Headquarters in Grand Junction. Their
message was clear--the best decisions are made by people on the ground,
not out-of-touch Washington bureaucrats.
Coloradans are tired of being
left out of important land management decisions that impact our daily
lives, and we want the Bureau to stay here so that our voice is
heard, more responsibility is delegated to the field, and our tax dollars
are stewarded responsibly.

**Honoring the Home of Heroes**
Upon
presenting the Medal of Honor to one of Pueblo's four Medal of Honor
recipients, President Eisenhower , "What is it...something in the
water out there in Pueblo? All you guys turn out to be heroes!" There may
or may not be something in the water, but there certainly is something
in the Pueblo spirit that captures the essence of rural Colorado. I
was deeply touched by returning to Pueblo's Center for American Values
and learning more about the community's honored legacy of service to
our Nation. In Congress, I tell the story of the West and make sure
that our values are represented and respected.
I also had a great
discussion with Pueblo business leaders at a manufacturer's roundtable. I am
working on ways to make sure that decisionmakers know that Denver
policies don't work for Pueblo and other rural Colorado communities.
Misguided government laws and regulations are causing businesses to
struggle with labor shortages, oppressive tax rates, and anti-competitive
energy regulations. Liberal policies may look good on paper, but they
don't work in reality.

**Listening to Small Business
Owners**
I was excited to return to the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge
Railroad Museum and share the history of our region with my whole
team, meet with tradesmen and railroad workers, and learn more about how
our small businesses are the engine that drives our region.

I also visited Chinook Medical Gear and learned about their mission
to save the lives of military personnel, first responders, and
everyday Americans by creating high-quality life-saving
equipment.
Additionally, Chinook and my office support the efforts of San Juan County
Sheriff Deputies to row across the Atlantic to raise awareness about first
responder suicides. I always back the blue by making sure they have
the tools to do their jobs and the support they deserve--including
mental healthcare.

**Advocating for Local Communities**
I met
with Mesa County government officials and commended them for their
bold leadership and their plan to allow small businesses and individuals
to responsibly decide for themselves how they want to respond to the
coronavirus. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that
individuals know better than the government how to run their own lives, and
it is well past time for the government to get out of the way.
Mesa
County was clear: they want the federal government to leave them alone.
In rural Colorado we know that no government agency is as effective as
a small business, no welfare program is better than a job, and no
spending scheme is better than letting taxpayers keep their
money.
Additionally, it was a privilege to speak with business owners, community
leaders and elected officials from across the Western Slope at Club 20.
We talked about water, forest management, upholding the Constitution
and much more. Thank you to Club 20 for having me!

Across
the Third Congressional District this week, I met with fire chiefs,
county clerks, sheriffs, police chiefs, tribal police, county
commissioners, city council members, and other local leaders from Montrose,
Alamosa, Delta, La Plata, Gunnison, Archuleta, Dolores, Montezuma and
Mesa counties. They all shared similar sentiments, and I am grateful for
their input. I look forward to continuing to build thriving
partnerships in every community across the Third Congressional District.

As we prepare for two weeks of session and votes in Congress, my
D.C. team and I leave Colorado inspired. You give us the strength and
courage to stand up for what's right, fight for practical solutions to
difficult problems, and push through the challenging times.
Sincerely,
