DENVER — Colorado officials are investigating whether conservative U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert broke any laws by cashing in on large amounts of mileage reimbursements from her own campaign.
Boebert, R-Colo., paid herself more than $22,000 from her campaign account in 2020, raising red flags for ethics experts, The Denver Post previously reported. While candidates can legally reimburse themselves for the miles they drive, those payments would have meant she drove nearly 39,000 miles while campaigning.
And in one four-month span of her campaign, Boebert had only one publicly advertised event.
