Colorado's Boebert discloses husband's work for energy firm

[AZProgressive]

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert’s husband made $478,000 last year working as a consultant for an energy firm, information that was not disclosed during Boebert’s congressional campaign and only reported in her financial disclosure forms filed this week.

In paperwork filed with the House of Representatives on Tuesday, the Republican congresswoman reported that her husband, Jayson Boebert, received the money as a consultant to “Terra Energy Productions” in 2020, and earned $460,000 as a consultant for the firm in 2019.

Boebert did not report the income last year, when she stunned the political world by ousting incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton during the GOP primary in Colorado’s sprawling 3rd district, which stretches from ski resorts to energy-rich basins in the state’s west. Boebert went on to win the general election in the Republican-leaning district.

Ethics and campaign finance laws require candidates and members of Congress to disclose sources of their immediate family’s income, along with major investments and assets, to let voters evaluate potential conflicts of interest. Boebert has been a defender of the energy industry, which is very active in her district.

1. It is only a problem if Democrats do it

[hedda_foil]

2. So is Jayson a high school graduate? Inquiring minds want to know.

[niyad]

7. Not sure. But he is a sexual predator.

[NewHendoLib]

3. It's likely not all criminals are republicans, but all republicans are criminals

[calguy]

4. I wonder he made the year BEFORE his high school drop out wife went to Congress.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

5. She has no ethics

so it ok

[SergeStorms]

6. Her wiener wagging hubby.....

was paid almost half a million dollars as a consultant for an energy company.
Almost the same in 2019.

I'd wager I know more about the energy market than that bonehead.

[niyad]

9. "Wiener wagging" scared my poor kitty, I laughed so loud.

[barbtries]

17. it's not what he knows,

i have no doubt. bribery and grift

[SergeStorms]

22. And who pays for that?

Every reich-wing republican goofball who voted for her, in the form of costlier energy prices.

I'm sure none of them mind though, because.....you know......owning the libs and all.

[niyad]

8. Does anybody know what credentials this sexual predator has to "earn" nearly a

MILLION dollars in two years for "work" in the extraction industries?

[sanatanadharma]

11. One million dollars for "work" in the extraction industries, based on what qualifications?

Extractions??
Well! he has pulled it out.

[bullwinkle428]

12. Seriously!!!! WTF are his "engineering skills"?? I've been working in research for

over three decades, and don't make six figures.

Not that I'm complaining about my situation - I know I'm fortunate compared to so many out there, but this deal involving the registered sex offender absolutely stinks to high heaven.

10. Republican Leaning District

Can it be redrawn so it's about 50:50 and we are rid of her from Congress

[ZonkerHarris]

13. so, she is a paid shill for the oil & gas industry. O&G guys are big sad, they bought a bad one

anyone else would have kept their head down and gone on for years doing their dirty work.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Yep, bought and paid for shill.

Not sure they are going to get the return on investment they hoped for.

[Bristlecone]

14. His "consulting" is a cash feed to her. No doubt in my mind.

No way is that guy “consulting” to the tune of 500k a year. He is a beard for her grift and bribery.

I’d be willing to bet he has never sniffed that kind of money prior to her political career launch.

[rickford66]

15. Look over there !!

Hunter Biden is selling oil paintings.

[Haggard Celine]

21. Yes!

I was thinking the same thing. How does she feel about Hunter Biden working for that energy company?

[marble falls]

16. I didn't know she knew the expresson "energy firm". Ask her to define it or use it in a sentence.

[Blue Owl]

18. He's been exposed?

Wouldn’t be the first time….

[George II]

20. Ouch.

[George II]

19. And she STILL was delinquent in her taxes by about $22,000, which she made up for by "driving"....

.....38,000 miles and charged it to her campaign.
