Lauren Boebert says she'll seek office in a different congressional district in 2024
Boebert said in a Facebook video that she intends to seek office in Colorado's 4th Congressional District -- which covers the Eastern Plains, Douglas County and Greeley -- currently represented by Ken Buck. Buck said last month that he won't seek reelection in 2024.
Boebert said in a Facebook video that she intends to seek office in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, which covers the Eastern Plains, currently represented by Republican U.S. Rep. Ken Buck. Buck said last month that he won't seek reelection in 2024, due to the Republican Party's support of former President Donald Trump and, what he called an embrace of conspiracy theories. He's represented the district since 2015.
Said it before and I will say it again. Politicians should be required to live in the area of which they are holding office.
Most states already require it from what I know. It’s just not a big deal, buy or rent a home in the district and you’re off to the races. They live in DC, the home in their district is just a permanent address.
States can’t overrule the constitution, which sets the explicit qualifications for the House of Representatives.
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
A state can’t make that more restrictive, by increasing the minimum age, increasing the length of citizenship, or restricting residency within the state.
Nearly all candidates do acquire residency in the district they’re seeking for legitimacy, but it’s not required.
Say it with me, she is a capetbagger. She abandons her district, her home town, and all it's people to jump into a 27 point advantage for Republicans in district 4.
Pathetic carpetbagger.
Lauren Boebert should just seek out OnlyFans at this point.
Why is she always in the news? Because she's pretty? Who TF cares about some lady in Colorado and what her future plans are?
Because she's loud and crazy. It's deliberately her strategy to always be in the news cycle
Because she was previously in a “safe” seat, so she was free to be as loud and crazy as she wanted. The party tacitly supported her (and others like her) because she makes the rest of the party look moderate in comparison. It allows the party to push hard right policies, then go “well at least we aren’t as crazy as Boebert, so this is a moderate bill and the democrats should compromise with us and pass it.”
@LemmyKnowsBest @mawkishdave As the newspapers used to say, "If it bleeds it leads", and she bleeds embarrassment, idiocy and controversy every day. The media loves her because she's a dipshit.
Do people think she's pretty? 🤮🤮
@mawkishdave I hear she'll be canvassing door to door
#BoboShitShow #RepublicansAreTheProblemI wish I lived in that area that would be fun to answer the door for her.
Literally moving the goal posts

It good she is replacing the Republican who stepped down. We need more conservatives in office.
Why? They haven't fucked enough shit up already?
Honestly the political scene in the US has gone from a bit crazy to absolutely insane (on both sides)

That word you use. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Can you give an example, on the democrats side? All the batshit stuff seems to either be from the right, or a reaction to that.
One Democrat Congressman pulled a fire alarm to delay a vote on a 45 day budget extension. Democrat admitted what he did was wrong.
One Republican rallied hundreds of his supporters from across the nation to perform a violent insurrection in the Capitol building on attempting to block the vote to certify his opponent winning the Presidency. The Republican stole dozens of boxes of state secrets as he was forced out and is still blaming everyone else for his actions while claiming innocence.
Both sides the same. /s
Come on, let's hear the litany of absolutely insane behavior of the Democrats that aren't OANN talking points you've swallowed about Hunter Biden's penis amputating cabal based out of a Starbucks basement.
If you'd instead like to be sane about it and criticize the Dem's never ending spineless, ineffectual,, do-nothing doormat sensibilities, then I'm all aboard
Ah yes, the venerated “both sides” argument.
