Lauren Boebert, born on December 19, 1986, in Altamonte Springs, Florida, is an American politician known for her strong advocacy for gun rights. She moved to Colorado with her family at a young age and experienced a challenging upbringing. Boebert dropped out of high school during her senior year but later went on to earn her GED. Despite facing obstacles, she found success in the natural gas industry.
Boebert gained national attention when she ran for Congress and won the seat representing Colorado's 3rd congressional district. Her unwavering support for Second Amendment rights has made her a polarizing figure in American politics. Boebert is known for her outspoken views on gun control and has been a vocal advocate for protecting the rights of gun owners.
In 2013, Boebert and her husband Jayson opened Shooters Grill, a restaurant in Colorado where staff members were encouraged to openly carry weapons. The unique concept gained media attention and became a symbol of Boebert's commitment to gun rights. The restaurant quickly became popular among gun enthusiasts and supporters of the Second Amendment.
Boebert and her husband Jayson have four sons together. Despite their shared commitment to family and business, Boebert announced their separation in 2023. The challenges of balancing a political career with personal life have been a constant theme in Boebert's life.
Throughout her political career, Boebert has been compared to her predecessor, Scott Tipton, who held the same congressional seat. While Tipton focused on traditional conservative values, Boebert's unapologetic advocacy for gun rights has set her apart in the political landscape. Her ability to connect with voters on a personal level has solidified her standing as a prominent figure in Colorado politics.
