Lauren Boebert - Proudly Serving the 3rd District Of Colorado
Dear
Friends,
I hope you have a great weekend! This week concluded a
busy legislative session, and I'm excited to share what I was able to
get done for Colorado's Third District.
**Protecting Energy
Jobs**
President Biden took away the American people's voice when--with the
stroke of a pen--he unilaterally locked-up our federal lands and
targeted our energy jobs. Now, Speaker Pelosi is continuing to silence
Americans by refusing to bring my bill, the Protecting American Energy
Jobs Act [link 1], to the House Floor for a vote.
If passed, my bill
would save 16,000 high-paying energy jobs in Colorado over the next 4
years, restart construction on the Keystone Pipeline, add $640 billion
to our economy over the next two decades, and keep energy prices
stable and affordable. Leftist energy policies don't work for Colorado, but
I promise to keep working for you by fighting against them every step
of the way.
Representative Chip Roy and I joined together and
filed a petition [link 2] to bring my bill to the House Floor for a vote
so we can get Members of Congress on the record to see if they stand
for American energy jobs or if they stand for outsourcing our jobs to
China and other nations that hate America. Watch our statement on our
petition HERE [link 3].

**Supporting Rural Law
Enforcement and Firefighters**
I introduced the MORE PILT Act [link
5] (or the Making Obligations Right by Enlarging Payments in Lieu of
Taxes Act) to help rural counties fund law enforcement, education,
firefighting, search and rescue operations, and real infrastructure. More
than 55% of our District is federal land, and it hurts our rural
counties' economies since federal land is tax-exempt.
The Payment in Lieu
of Taxes program was designed to narrow this gap by disbursing money
to counties affected by the presence of federal land, but last year,
the average PILT payment per acre was only $2.71--far less than the
value of the land if it was eligible to be put on the market for taxable
purposes. This inequity causes rural communities to struggle funding
roads, bridges, firefighting, law enforcement, schools, and other
essential services.
My MORE PILT Act [link 6] directs the Secretary of
the Interior to come up with a new model of distributing PILT payments
in a way that's more in-line with the land's true value. This will
re-energize our rural communities, fund essential services, and put rural
America on equal footing with the rest of the Nation.

**Keeping the Bureau of Land Management in Grand Junction**
Every
time I'm home, people are excited to hear about the work I'm doing for
the District. One of the projects I'm most passionate about is
keeping the Bureau of Land Management in Grand Junction [link 7], because it
gives rural Coloradans a voice, saves taxpayers money, and provides
jobs in the community.
Watch the highlights of my Bureau of Land
Management roundtable with Chairman of the Western Caucus, Congressman
Dan Newhouse, and local leaders HERE [link 8].

**Defending the Right to Life**
I was proud to deliver a video message
[link 10] to Mesa County Right to Life encouraging them for their great
work serving pregnant mothers and fighting against abortion. Two
things have shaped my convictions about the right to life: being a mother
and being a follower of Jesus Christ. I will keep fighting against
abortion in Congress, and more importantly, by supporting women in my
community.
