The campaign of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) submitted a report with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night that lists her as a candidate for Congress in Utah.
Thanks for reaching out, said Boeberts spokesperson, Jake Settle, when Forbes inquired about the revision. I flagged this for our team!
Boeberts home state was listed as Colorado in her campaigns original report for the third quarter of 2021, which was filed on Oct. 15. The campaign amended that filing last night and, among other revisions, changed Boeberts state and district on the first page from Colorado 03 to Utah 03. Update: October 29, 3:45 p.m. ET: Early Friday afternoon Boeberts campaign amended its report a second time, and the state is now listed as Colorado.
Ive never seen a candidate misidentify the state they are seeking to represent on an FEC report, said Brett Kappel, an attorney specializing in campaign finance at Harmon, Curran, Spielberg & Eisenberg.
