God bless America, and I hope we can all "get behind" Lauren in her run for Congress!

Just over a month after she upset five-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton in the Republican primary, Lauren Boebert landed a spot Wednesday in the top tier of the House GOP's campaign support program for candidates in competitive districts.
Boebert, a restaurant owner and first-time candidate, is facing former state Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush in the Republican-leaning 3rd Congressional District.
Boebert is the second congressional candidate in Colorado this cycle to be tapped for the National Republican Congressional Committee's Young Guns fundraising and training program, though out of the gate she leapfrogged 6th Congressional District nominee Steve House, who has only made it so far to the program's middle level.

Boebert is one of 16 Republican House candidates elevated this week to full Young Gun status, based on meeting NRCC benchmarks for fundraising, organizing and political support.
She ran a shoestring campaign against Tipton, raising just over $150,000 through the June 30 primary and ending the quarter with a smidgeon over $10,000 in the bank, but she told Colorado Politics that her fundraising has taken off since winning the nomination and being congratulated by President Donald Trump.
While she hasn't run for office before, Boebert is no stranger to the spotlight. Shooters Grill, the Rifle restaurant she owns, enjoyed national attention for arming its wait staff, and she drew coverage in the last year for challenging then-Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke's proposal to confiscate firearms. She also generated headlines in May when she defied a public health order by opening her restaurant to in-person dining before pandemic restrictions had been lifted.

Lauren should win but she’ll need financial help to do so. As we all know, Gun Grabbers such as her opponent have big bucks backing them.
She’s gonna do fine.

“She’s gonna do fine”.
Yes, IF we all do our part to help her. We can’t take her “Doing fine” for granted. That’s how she could loose.
We’ll send her a few bucks, you all vote, vote, vote.
I might have to visit Rifle (I’m surprised gun grabbers didn’t force the town to change the name yet) and have dinner at Shooters. Along with giving her a donation, too.
Never been there, but am told that the food is good.
