Colorado officials are investigating whether the conservative Western Slope U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert broke any laws by cashing in on large amounts of mileage reimbursements from her own campaign.
from her campaign account in 2020, raising red flags for ethics experts, The Denver Post previously reported. While candidates can legally reimburse themselves for the miles they drive, those payments would have meant she drove nearly 39,000 miles while campaigning.A political organization, American Muckrakers, filed a complaint earlier this month with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser in June, citing Boebert’s reimbursements and asking for an investigation.
Pacheco did not respond when asked to specify which agency would investigate the complaint, but David B. Wheeler, president of American Muckrakers PAC said in a statement that the matter would go to the state departments of Revenue and Labor and Employment. Wheeler alleged that Boebert used false mileage records to pay off a tax lien placed on her restaurant in Rifle, Shooters Bar and Grill.“This is another swing and miss from a partisan political group,” Boebert said Wednesday in a statement. “I represent over 50,000 square miles of Colorado; I connect with the people I serve rather than sitting at home in a basement like most Leftists.”
American Muckrakers also took aim at another controversial Republican figure this year, U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn, of North Carolina. The organization gathered and released incendiary and sexual videos of the representative leading up to the state’s primary election,Boebert is similarly facing a primary challenger from State Sen. Don Coram, of Montrose, and multiple attempts to undermine her reelection efforts.
