A few questions for U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert

Re: “Boebert at meetings on Pence, panel told,” April 27 news story

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, I am one of your constituents in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. Primary elections are scheduled for June 28 and general elections Nov. 8. For people to make an informed choice, please answer a few questions.

How would you characterize the event at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021? Was it a riot, insurrection, coup attempt, or the legitimate political expression of patriotic Americans?

Do you believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump?

If yes, what evidence can you cite that supports that opinion?

On Jan. 6, 2021, you tweeted “Today is 1776.” Please explain.

Do you support the Jan. 6 select committee investigation into the events of that day?

Have you been interviewed by the select committee? If not, will you voluntarily submit to questioning if the committee asks you to do so? If not, would you comply with a subpoena to do so?

According to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ aide Cassidy Hutchinson, you attended “several” meetings with Meadows and others regarding the electoral vote count. What opinions did you express in those meetings?

Do you feel that Vice President

Mike Pence could have done something other than certify the Electoral College votes, and on what grounds?

An internet search advises that your salary is $174,000 per year. Is this correct? How much money does your congressional office receive in Members Representational Allowance (MRA)? How much of the MRA do you take for personal expenses?

Congresswoman Boebert, please consider having a question-and-answer session with Colorado media to answer questions such as those above.

Thank you for your time and attention.

The members of your constituency will be greatly interested in your answers.
