Lauren Boebert Accused of Using Illegal Donations to Fund Campaign
- Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert is accused of illegally spending $60,000 on campaign calls and texts in the run-up to November's midterm election.
- End Citizens United has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging inaccurate reporting of communications as independent expenditures or in-kind contributions.
- Boebert and her campaign are accused of failing to accurately report communications as independent expenditures or in-kind contributions on their reports filed with the Commission.
- End Citizens United alleges that Boebert may have made an illegal in-kind contribution to herself that exceeds the $5,000 limit set by federal law, or spent money to influence another campaign without reporting it, as required by federal law.
- Boebert’s narrow reelection was among the most notable examples of Republicans underperforming in the 2022 midterms, when the party failed to regain the Senate and secured a much smaller House majority than anticipated.
