The campaign of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) mistakenly identified her as a representative of Utah in a report submitted to the Federal Election Commission on Thursday.
“Thanks for reaching out,” a spokesperson for Boebert, Jake Settle, said in response to an inquiry about the Forbes article that first reported on the filing. “I flagged this for our team!”
An earlier version of the report for the campaign’s third quarter of 2021, filed Oct. 15, listed Boebert’s state as Colorado. A revised version was filed Thursday and changed the state and congressional district from Colorado 03 to Utah 03, among other amendments. Following Forbes’ report, the filing was edited again on Friday to say Colorado.
She was named in a Rolling Stone report last week as one of multiple Republican members of Congress who communicated with organizers of the Jan. 6 attack in the weeks before the U.S. Capitol was stormed by a pro-Trump mob seeking to overturn the 2020 election. Boebert has denied any involvement.
Twitter critics did not let the error slide.

Lauren Boebert’s latest FEC filing says she represents Utah.
She represents Colorado — or at least she’s supposed to.
Maybe Colorado can find someone who actually wants to represent them. — Tristan Snell (@TristanSnell) October 30, 2021

Yes, it’s pretty hilarious that QAnon terrorist Lauren Boebert as well as her campaign moronically listed in FEC filings that she represents the state of Utah instead of Colorado, but I’m more focused on her needing to be in prison for her role in deadly insurrection. — Ricky Davila (@TheRickyDavila) October 31, 2021

That happens when your organization is a fake grass roots campaign thrown together by out of state billionaires.

This reflects the level of intelligence that the good member of congress has demonstrated.
