Lauren Opal Boebert (/\u02c8bo\u028ab\u0259rt/ BOH-b\u0259rt; n\u00e9e Roberts; born December 19, 1986) is an American politician, businesswoman, and gun rights activist^[1] serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 4th congressional district beginning in 2025, having so served the Colorado's 3rd congressional district from 2021 to 2025. From 2013 to 2022, she owned Shooters Grill, a restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, where staff members were encouraged to carry firearms openly.\n

A member of the Republican Party, Boebert is known for her gun rights advocacy. In 2020, she unexpectedly defeated incumbent Scott Tipton in the primaries and won the general election over Democratic nominee Diane Mitsch Bush. In Congress, Boebert has associated herself with the conservative Republican Study Committee, the right-wing Freedom Caucus, of which she became the communications chair in January 2022, and the pro-gun Second Amendment Caucus. She won reelection in 2022 by a narrow margin of 546 votes against former Aspen City Council member Adam Frisch. In December 2023, Boebert announced that she would switch districts to run in the 4th congressional district, which is on the eastern side of the state and is more favorable for Republicans.^[2] Boebert was reelected to a third term in 2024.^[3]\n

Boebert's views are broadly considered far-right, a label she rejects.^[4]^[5] She is an ally and supporter of president Donald Trump and supports Trump's claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him and voted to overturn its results during the Electoral College vote count. She has also promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory. Boebert opposes transitioning to green energy, COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates, abortion, sex education, gender-affirming surgery for minors, and same-sex marriage. She advocates an isolationist foreign policy but supports closer ties with Israel for religious reasons. A self-described born-again Christian, Boebert has said that she is \"tired of this separation of church and state junk\" and argued for greater church power and influence in government decision-making.^[6]\n
