Lauren Boebert, Republican candidate for U.S. House, is running against Diane Mitsch Bush, a retired sociology professor and a former commissioner for Routt County who served as a member of the Colorado House of Representatives from 2013 until 2017. Boebert has no legislative experience and owns a restaurant, Shooter’s Grill, where she encourages servers to open-carry loaded guns. If Boebert is serious, she should start by running for a local or state office and learning to legislate.
