Lauren Boebert Continues to Vote for the Iran War, Despite Telling Voters Otherwise
Boebert has now voted three times for the Iran War, yet told voters 2.5 months ago that it was time to “get the heck out of dodge”
Highlands Ranch, CO - After publicly warning that Americans did not support a prolonged conflict with Iran and criticizing Washington politicians for being influenced by special interests, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has now voted three times in favor of and to continue the Iran War.
On a March 23 appearance on The Matt Gaetz Show, Boebert said she opposed "two to three months of war with Iran" and argued that Americans wanted to "get the heck out of dodge." She also warned that Washington politicians would be pressured by lobbyists and the military-industrial complex to continue the conflict.
Since then, Boebert has voted to continue the war on March 5, May 14, and now again on June 3.
"Lauren Boebert used to campaign against career politicians who said one thing and did another— now she's become one," said Rear Admiral (Ret.) Eileen Laubacher, Democratic candidate for Colorado's 4th Congressional District. "She warned Coloradans that Washington politicians would cave to pressure from special interests and keep this conflict going, and then voted three times to do exactly that."
"After seven years in Washington, Lauren Boebert has become everything she once claimed to be fighting against," Laubacher continued. "She talks like an outsider when she's on television, but votes like a politician protecting the status quo when she's in Congress."
Laubacher, a retired two-star admiral who spent 34 years serving in the U.S. Navy, contrasted her military experience with Boebert's record.
"When it comes to war, leadership means more than rhetoric," said Laubacher. "The men and women who may ultimately bear the cost of these decisions deserve representatives who are honest about where they stand. Lauren Boebert told voters she opposed a prolonged conflict. Her votes tell a different story."

I’m proud to be endorsed by an organization devoted to electing like-minded leaders to Washington across the county.”

Eileen Laubacher Ends the First Quarter of 2026 with Over $3 Million Cash on Hand, a Strong Signal for the Future
With over $2.1 million raised in the first quarter of 2026, the Laubacher campaign is rapidly gaining momentum and signaling increasing strength in November.
Highlands Ranch, CO – Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher’s campaign for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District ends the first quarter of 2026 with another commanding fundraising performance. Raising over $2.1 million with over $3 million cash on hand, Laubacher is showing ever growing strength. Especially when compared to the around $218,000 cash on hand that Lauren Boebert reported at the end of last year. This comes on the heels of Laubacher becoming the only Democratic candidate on the Primary ballot. A key milestone that allows the Laubacher campaign to focus solely on defeating Lauren Boebert come November.
“Seeing the amount of people coming together to support my candidacy is an honor. I'm proud of the campaign we’ve built and I'm ready to bring the fight to Boebert.” said Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher. “People all across Colorado and the country are tired of Lauren Boebert's antics. They want real leadership and real representation. I will continue to show up for the people of Colorado’s 4th district, and finally deliver the representation this district deserves.”
There are a couple key things to note about Eileen Laubacher's $2.1 million raise:
Over 390,000 donations have come into the campaign from all over the nation
The average donation is just $21.49, signaling strong grassroots support
Eileen’s $2.1 million for just Q1 of 2026 is almost 3 times what Boebert raised in all of 2025
Over the last month a record number of people came out to show their support for Eileen Laubacher and nominate her to be the Democratic party's sole challenger in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. That support is growing rapidly as she travels the district, showing up in places Lauren Boebert has long abandoned. These fundraising numbers are the latest in a long line of strong reports showing that Laubacher has the support and momentum to win in November. With the wind at her back, Laubacher is ready to take on Boebert.
Eileen Laubacher Officially on the Ballot, Marks Turning Point in Fight Against Boebert
Highlands Ranch - Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher officially secured her place on the primary ballot, becoming the only Democratic candidate and marking a decisive turning point in the campaign to defeat Lauren Boebert. With this milestone, the campaign will now focus its full time, resources, and energy on what matters most: winning in November. Over the past eight months, Laubacher’s campaign has built an inclusive, energized coalition - engaging veterans, first-time caucus-goers, unaffiliated voters, frustrated Republicans and lifelong Democrats - proving that more unites Coloradans than divides them.
“The fight for Colorado starts today,” Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher said. “This milestone marks a new phase—one where all our energy, strategy, and focus goes into the work that matters most: defeating Lauren Boebert and delivering real leadership that shows up and gets things done.”
In stark contrast, Boebert has repeatedly failed to show up for the people of this district, leaving critical issues—like skyrocketing gas prices, unaffordable healthcare, and rising grocery costs—unaddressed. She has proven herself incompetent, incapable, ineffective, and unwilling to do the work Coloradans deserve. Eileen Laubacher will be the representative in Congress who shows up, works for the people, and fixes what Boebert has left broken.
“I want to thank the voters, volunteers, and community leaders who have shown their support and confidence throughout this campaign,” Laubacher said. “I also want to acknowledge the other candidates and all of their passionate supporters who stepped up and competed. They strengthened the conversation and energized our base. Now, with the ballot secured, we will come together around a common goal: delivering leadership that works for the people and defeating Lauren Boebert in November.”
This campaign is for everyone in the district. Democrats, progressives, independents, Republicans, and anyone frustrated with the broken system all have a place here. What unites Coloradans are the challenges they share, and by coming together around those shared problems, this campaign is delivering leadership that listens, shows up, and gets results for the people. Coloradans from across the district who feel like things are headed in the wrong direction and want to send a message that we need to change course immediately have their champion in Eileen Laubacher.
Record Turnout: More Voters Backed Eileen Laubacher Than Attended the Last Two Assemblies Combined
Laubacher Wins Over 85% of Delegates Across District
Highlands Ranch - Over the last two weeks, hundreds of voters showed up across congressional district four to show their support for Eileen Laubacher. Eileen received nearly 900 of the 1200 votes cast across the district. In 2024 and 2022, there were less than a total of 800 people who turned out to vote for all the candidates. The record attendance was evident all across the district, and it is clear that voters are ready for Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher to take the fight to Lauren Boebert. Of the 168 delegates elected across the district, 143 delegates — more than 85 percent — were chosen by their peers to support Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher at the upcoming CD-4 assembly.
“The turnout across the district shows voters are energized and ready for change,” said Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher. “They have put their trust in this campaign because we’ve shown up, listened and done the hard work - that is exactly how I’ll serve in Congress and the fight that I will take to Lauren Boebert.”
Support for Laubacher was strong and consistent across the entire district. In Douglas County—the district’s largest—delegates overwhelmingly backed Laubacher, winning all 92 delegates elected there, while rural counties across the district also delivered decisive support. In communities like Cheyenne, Kit Carson, and Logan counties, Laubacher won all of the delegates as turnout surged to historic levels. From small rural communities to the suburbs, voters showed up in record numbers and delivered overwhelming support for Laubacher, underscoring the broad coalition forming across the district to defeat Lauren Boebert in November.
Since launching, the campaign has:
Held 58 meet-and-greets across the district with over 1,600 attendees.
Engaged over 900 first-time caucus-goers
Made 29,000 calls to past and new caucus-goers
Mobilized over 100 veterans who committed to caucus for Eileen
Recruited more than 900 volunteers
Helped over 130 supporters switch their registration from UAF to DEM to caucus for Eileen (a conservative estimate)
Elected 482 brand-new caucus-goers as County Delegates to support Eileen.
The energy behind Laubacher’s campaign reflects a true grassroots movement built through months of organizing across the district. Shortly after launching, Retired Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher and her team began traveling across the district — visiting nearly every county, meeting with communities, and engaging directly with rural hospitals, veterans’ organizations, and local leaders. The campaign consistently urged voters that meeting this moment required more than support — it required showing up and getting involved.
That organizing paid off at caucus and county assemblies, where more than half of the voters supporting Laubacher were first-time caucus participants. More than 100 veterans also turned out in support after meeting Laubacher at community gatherings across the district. The historic turnout was no accident — it was the result of sustained grassroots engagement and a growing coalition of voters ready to defeat Lauren Boebert and elect a representative who will show up and deliver for Colorado.
“As we look ahead to November, this election will be won by the candidate who puts in the work, listens to voters, and shows up consistently,” Laubacher added. “That’s what this campaign has done from day one, and we’re just getting started.”
