The Republican firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert faces a tough reelection bid
Retreating from the turmoil in Washington, D.C., Rep. Lauren Boebert arrived in bucolic southwest Colorado to turmoil of a different sort — the lingering impact of an embarrassing moment when she was caught on tape vaping and groping with a date during a musical production of “Beetlejuice.” The scandal threw a wrench into an already tough reelection bid. After Beobert won her last race by just 546 votes, she began revamping her campaign strategy.
“Our voices get drowned out by bigger cities,” said Cody Perkins, 31, who arrived at the Lincoln Day Dinner bedecked in an American flag suit. “I just like that she’s not afraid to speak up. ... We need a voice.” Those values are the same reason Perkins cringed when the videotape surfaced of Boebert at the theater in Denver. Boebert's apology, Perkins said, was “definitely needed.' “I hope we can all move past this,” he said.
