Lauren's Positions on Key Issues
Economy
HighLauren Boebert advocates for deregulation and a market-based healthcare system, believing increased government control harms small businesses. She co-led the Pueblo Jobs Act and secured tens of millions in community project funding for water and infrastructure in her district. She also introduced the Rural Jobs and Hydropower Expansion Act and passed the "Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit" Act, while voting against the TRANSPLANT Act citing national debt concerns.
“I've grown as an effective legislator and shown I can work across the aisle to get things done, like working with our Democrat Senators to get the Pueblo Jobs Act signed into law. (Lauren Boebert, CPR News)”
Immigration
MediumLauren Boebert supports the SAVE Act, aiming to prevent individuals not legally eligible from voting in federal elections by cleaning voter rolls. As a member of the House Freedom Caucus, she aligns with calls for more aggressive deployment of immigration agents. She also generally supports Trump administration policies, which have included mass deportation efforts.
Healthcare
HighLauren Boebert voted against extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, clarifying that her initial "aye" vote was an error. She has stated her intention to protect existing programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. This stance is based on constituent feedback regarding how these programs help manage bills and provide healthcare without financial hardship.
“They wanted me to protect Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. They wanted me to lower costs and make life much more afford-able. They wanted me to eliminate government corruption. That is what I plan to do. The number one issue by far was pro-tecting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. (Lauren Boebert, Congressional Record, January 21, 2026)”
Climate & Energy
HighRepresentative Lauren Boebert consistently opposes environmental protections, voting against measures like the Reliable Power Act and efforts to limit environmental review. She supported the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act and the Don’t Mess With My Home Appliances Act. Boebert advocates for "unleashing America’s God-given resources" to create jobs and lower energy costs, viewing fossil fuels as crucial for energy security. Her voting record earned her a 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters in 2025 and lifetime.
“Ms. BOEBERT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Westerman) for bringing this important issue up today. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.J. Res. 104, which nullifies the Bureau of Land Management's restrictive Miles City Field Office Resource Management Plan. This resolution is a critical step toward restoring American energy dominance, a cornerstone of President Trump's agenda to secure our Nation's economic and energy future. The BLM's rule stifles resource development in Montana, limiting access to our abundant natural resources and threatening the livelihoods of our ranchers, energy workers, and small businesses. By imposing burdensome land management policies, it undermines the very communities that power our great Nation. H.J. Res. 104 aligns directly with President Trump's vision to unleash American energy by removing regulatory barriers and prioritizing domestic production. This resolution ensures our lands are used to bolster energy security and not obstruct it. By passing H.J. Res. 104, we reject bureaucratic overreach and champion affordable and reliable energy for all Americans. Let's stand with President Trump's mission to make America energy dominant, protect jobs, and empower our communities, and I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this resolution.”
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
HighLauren Boebert voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which she cosponsored to ensure medical care for babies who survive late-term abortions, citing the principle of defending the right to life. She also voted for and cosponsored a resolution condemning attacks on pro-life facilities and churches.
““Americans overwhelmingly reject the Democrats’ extremist views on abortion. 77% of Americans believe that a baby who survives a failed abortion attempt should receive the same lifesaving medical care as any other premature baby born at the same age. However, only one Democrat House Member agreed and voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Democrats’ radical view on abortion is out of step with the rest of the country.” - Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, "Rep. Boebert Votes to Protect the Right to Life" press release”
Foreign Policy
HighLauren Boebert advocates for an 'America First' foreign policy that projects economic, military, and moral strength, supporting free and fair trade policies like the USMCA. She opposes the Iran Nuclear Deal and voted for the "FINANCIAL SERVICES AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT AND NATIONAL SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF STATE, AND RELATED PROGRAMS APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2026" for national security and global edge. Boebert links energy independence to foreign policy, proposing legislation to restart the Keystone XL pipeline and ban Russian oil and gas. She also pledges to pursue information regarding UFOs.
“I SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The American people aren’t children to be spoon-fed half-truths or dismissed with vague excuses. We deserved to know what’s really going on up there." - Lauren Boebert campaign message, via The Guardian, October 9, 2025”

Gun Policy
HighCongresswoman Lauren Boebert has earned an "A" rating from Gun Owners of America and the National Rifle Association, and an A+ rating from NSSF, the Firearm Industry Trade Association, for her work on Second Amendment issues. She opposes policies such as gun grabs, mandatory gun buybacks, and national firearm registries, citing the defense of constitutional rights. She has also introduced legislation to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and urged Governor Jared Polis to veto a bill setting firearm training requirements.
“I will always guard the sacred text of our Constitution, and I oppose gun grabs, mandatory gun buy backs, the creation of a national firearm registry, the criminalization of common transfers of firearms between family members and neighbors, and any other policies the radical left pursues to attack the Second Amendment. - Lauren Boebert, http://boebert.house.gov/issues/second-amendment”
