Lauren Opal Boebert (born December 15, 1986) is an American conservative politician, businesswoman, and gun rights activist. A member of the Republican Party, she serves as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 3rd congressional district. She was born in Altamonte Springs, Florida
Boebert, a mother of four children along with her husband Jayson, as well as the owner of the Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado, won the hard-fought 3rd district congressional race against Democrat and former state lawmaker Diane Mitsch Bush in a Colorado House district that is as large as Pennsylvania in the 2020 election.
"I am proud to announce that I am the first mom to represent Colorado’s Third Congressional District," stated Boebert from her restaurant on election night.[1]
Before getting elected to Congress, Boebert was a gun rights advocate. She challenged Beto O'Rourke at an Aurora town hall meeting during his 2020 presidential campaign, saying, "I was one of the gun-owning Americans who heard you speak regarding your 'Hell yes I'm going to take your AR-15s and AK-47s. Well, I'm here to say hell no you're not.'"[2]
She defied a lockdown in Colorado on Thanksgiving Day by declaring her large family get-together to be a funeral for a turkey, and thus within the exemption for funeral services.[3]
On Christmas Eve 2020 she announced that she would object to the certification of Biden's Electors on Jan. 6th.

Sherronna Bishop[4] was a campaign manager for Lauren Boebert. In November 2021 the FBI broke down her door with a battering ram and terrorized her children. The FBI grabbed her phone from her and refused to allow her to speak to her attorney. She was restrained. The FBI ransacked the home and refused to let her see the alleged warrant they had for hours.[5]
