Help us finish strong

Friend, We’ve got just over 24 hours to hit our $25,000 mid-month goal — and we’re so close. This isn’t just about hitting a number. It’s about proving that this campaign has the grassroots power to take down Lauren Boebert and the MAGA machine behind her. Boebert has nat…

Boebert’s record is a freaking disaster

Friend, Let’s take a moment to look at Lauren Boebert’s record since she ran away from her constituents in CD-03 and jumped into this district: Voted to slash Medicaid Opposed passenger rail and infrastructure improvements Promoted conspiracy theories and MAGA talking po…

Let’s end Boebert’s political career

Friend, Lauren Boebert doesn’t represent Colorado’s 4th District — and everyone knows it. She jumped districts to save her political career, and now she’s trying to bring MAGA extremism to Eastern Colorado. She’s not here to solve problems. She’s here for the spotlight. I…

Friend, My name is John Padora. I’m a manufacturing engineer, a husband, and a father — and I come from a long line of working-class fighters who believed in this country before it believed in them. I’m not a politician. I’m a working man who’s fed up with the lies, the c…

Boebert supports cutting Medicaid

Friend, Lauren Boebert is backing a House GOP plan that would cut Medicaid — a move that would devastate the very people she’s supposed to represent. In rural Colorado, Medicaid isn’t just a line item. It’s how seniors afford prescriptions, how children see a doctor, and …

Friend, Just when you thought Lauren Boebert couldn’t get more out of touch, she found a new enemy: trains. That’s right — Boebert is now opposing a major plan to bring passenger rail to Colorado’s Front Range. The same kind of infrastructure project that could actually c…

The difference could NOT be clearer

Friend, This race for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District comes down to a simple choice: Do we want more chaos? Or real leadership? Lauren Boebert abandoned her district in CD-3 to chase power here. Now she’s brought the MAGA circus with her — and with it, a record of h…
