Overview

Lauren Boebert, born Lauren Opal Roberts on December 19, 1986, is an American politician, businesswoman, and gun rights activist. Representing Colorado's 3rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2021, Boebert has become a prominent figure within the conservative wing of the Republican Party. Her journey from a young mother working in the service industry to a national political figure is marked by entrepreneurial ventures, outspoken advocacy for gun rights, and a consistent commitment to conservative principles, making her a polarizing yet influential figure in contemporary American politics.
Main Milestones
Birth and Early Life
December 19, 1986
Lauren Opal Roberts was born in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Her family experienced financial difficulties, relying on government assistance programs during her childhood. Her upbringing shaped her later views on self-reliance and limited government intervention.
GED and Early Career
Early 2000s
Boebert obtained her GED after dropping out of high school when she became a mother. She then began working in the service industry, gaining experience that she credits with informing her understanding of business and the challenges faced by working-class Americans.
Opening of Shooter's Grill
2013
Boebert and her husband, Jayson Boebert, opened Shooter's Grill in Rifle, Colorado. The restaurant gained national attention for its waitresses openly carrying firearms, becoming a symbol of Boebert's staunch support for gun rights and a key element of her public image.
Activism and Political Engagement
2019
Boebert's activism intensified as she became increasingly involved in local politics and Second Amendment advocacy. She publicly confronted Beto O'Rourke during a presidential campaign event over his gun control proposals, demonstrating her willingness to challenge prominent political figures.
Election to Congress
2020
In a surprising upset, Boebert defeated incumbent Republican Congressman Scott Tipton in the primary election. She then went on to win the general election, securing a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Colorado's 3rd congressional district. Her victory marked a significant step in her political career and solidified her position as a rising star within the conservative movement.
Capitol Riot Controversy
January 6, 2021
Boebert faced criticism and scrutiny for her actions and statements surrounding the January 6th Capitol riot. Her social media activity before and during the event drew allegations of her potentially aiding those who breached the Capitol, though she has denied any involvement in the planning or execution of the attack. This event significantly impacted her public image and led to calls for her resignation.
Congressional Tenure
2021-Present
During her time in Congress, Boebert has been a vocal advocate for conservative policies, often aligning herself with the most right-wing members of the Republican Party. She has focused on issues such as gun rights, energy independence, and border security, consistently challenging the Biden administration and Democratic policies.
Announcement of Divorce
December 2022
Boebert announced she was divorcing her husband, Jayson Boebert, after nearly two decades of marriage. This personal development occurred during her ongoing service in Congress, adding another layer of public interest to her life.
Shooter's Grill Closes
May 2023
Shooter's Grill, the restaurant owned and operated by Boebert known for its gun-toting waitresses, closed its doors after the building was sold and the new owners chose not to renew the lease. The closure marked the end of a controversial but iconic symbol of Boebert's brand and her support for the Second Amendment.
Switching Congressional Districts
December 2023
Boebert announced that she would be switching to run for the U.S. House seat in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. This decision followed a closer-than-expected election in her current district and amid concerns about her electability in the 3rd district in the next election cycle. The 4th district is significantly more Republican-leaning, making it a seemingly safer bet for her political future.
