Lauren Boebert: Delivering Results for Coloradans in the First 100 Days
The 118th Congress started with a bang. I helped lead the negotiations to end business as usual in Washington D.C., and instead of kicking the proverbial can down the road, we made historic one-in-a-generation improvements to the House.
