<h2>About the PACT Act</h2>The PACT Act is a law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. It also extends eligibility for VA health care for Veterans with toxic exposures and Veterans of the Vietnam, Gulf War, and post-9/11 eras. Before the law, the Department of Veterans Affairs denied 70% of disability claims from Veterans impacted by burn pit exposure.Lauren Boebert Voted against the PACT Act, which has since granted benefits to nearly a million Veterans impacted by toxins While serving our county.

<h2>Democrat Trisha Calvarese Confronts Rep. Boebert on Radio</h2>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEHighlands Ranch, CO (Feb. 4 2026) – During a radio appearance this morning, Rep. Lauren Boebert told listeners she “doesn’t pretend to vote one way and do another.” Her record tells a very different story.Democratic candidate Trisha Calvarese called into the show and asked “Representative Boebert, you haven't shown up in-district to do a town hall of any kind face to face… You said you don't give a rip about Epstein, and I completely believe you. If you don't actually care when powerful people abuse children, what do you actually care about?”Boebert responded with a monologue of claims that are flatly contradicted by her own actions in Congress.Here are the facts:<ul><li>Boebert claimed her tele-town halls are transparent and recorded. Boebert specifically cited tele-town halls as evidence of accountability. However, her October 15 tele-town hall was never released to the public, despite being advertised and despite her claim that such events are recorded and accessible.</li><li>Boebert claims credit for water infrastructure she failed to deliver. Boebert touts her work on the Arkansas Valley Conduit, but she could not secure the votes needed to override a Trump veto that killed the project. Political theater is the only place she’s not hands-on.</li><li>Boebert voted against every project she now claims to support. On the air, Boebert portrayed herself as a champion of water storage and local infrastructure. In reality, she voted against funding for every single project she now cites, including projects benefiting rural hospitals, water districts, and local communities in her own district.</li><li>Boebert added earmarks, then voted against the bill. Boebert inserted $3 million in project earmarks into the FY2026 minibus appropriations bill, then voted against the very bill containing her own requests.</li><li>Boebert’s rhetoric doesn’t match her record. On the radio, Boebert accused others of campaigning one way and governing another. Yet her own voting history shows a consistent pattern: oppose the funding, then campaign as if she delivered it.</li></ul>After the exchange, Calvarese noted on air that “Lauren Boebert is actually telling on herself, because she's pretending to be an effective lawmaker. She's pretending to be good at her job. And frankly, she's not.&nbsp; “When I asked her that question about what she cares about, I didn't hear her for one second talk about the hardworking people in our district. “She’s asking for money for projects that are already underway, already planned, in Douglas, Morgan, and Weld Counties at an order of magnitude lower than what’s needed to complete them. She voted to kill funding for upgrades to our rural hospitals in Cheyenne Wells, Fort Morgan, and Hugo. She requests small earmarks and then she votes against the bills to fund them. How dumb does she think we are?” Trisha Calvarese is running to replace Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 4th District.&nbsp; Phone: (720) 239-2744‬Email: <a href="mailto:press@trisha4co.com" style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">press@trisha4co.com</a> ###

But the USDA has blocked it.Lauren Boebert is a Member of Congress today because her family once relied on food stamps. Now she’s standing by while kids in her neighborhood go hungry.

These are some of the top priorities our campaign is focused on.

Fighting for Our Community

Costs are high because markets are rigged.Trust Bust&nbsp;Monopoly isn’t a game. It’s the economy we live in. A handful of giants set prices in groceries, meatpacking, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, insurance, and energy. They squeeze producers, crush small businesses, and pass the bill to families.This didn’t happen by accident. The rules were written to protect corporate power instead of competition.I’ll take on price-fixing, break up monopoly power, rein in middlemen, and restore real competition so markets work again. Reinvest $1 TrillionBig Tech and Big Pharma exploit an unenforced tax rule to shift intellectual property “on paper” while the work stays here, hiding over $1 trillion in assets. That money belongs in American communities, not tax havens.Cost of HealthcareHealthcare costs are high because too many corporations make money denying care and inflating prices. I’ll fight to:Cap prescription costs by making sure Americans never pay more than people in other countriesTake on PBMs and require transparency in drug pricingExpand Medicare’s power to negotiateCrack down on algorithmic denials and medical middlemenProtect families from medical debt wrecking their financial livesIt shouldn’t cost a fortune to become a doctor. Childcare and eldercare shouldn’t be luxuries. They should be accessible and affordable. Care should not bankrupt families. Energy CostsColoradans are sick of surprise rate spikes from utility monopolies with no accountability. Time to modernize the grid, build the transmission we need, and deliver stable, predictable energy and lower costs for families and businesses. Families deserve a return when their communities produce the power that fuels our economy. Housing CostsWe’re missing the middle because Wall Street moved in. Teachers, nurses, first responders, and the people who keep our towns running should be able to live in them. Housing should be a place to live, not a financial instrument.I’ll work to:Stop private equity from cornering the housing marketExpand missing-middle housingRein in insurers driving up home and rental premiums

People for Trisha

<h2>AD: Widow of Burn Pit Veteran Blasts Lauren Boebert for Disrespecting Her Family &amp; Veterans Exposed to Cancer Causing Toxins</h2>Trisha Calvarese, the Democratic nominee running against Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District, released this TV ad.&nbsp; The ad features Danielle Robinson, the widow of U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson. SFC Robinson was exposed to burn pits and cancer causing toxins during&nbsp; deployments to Iraq and Kosovo. When he came home, he was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer. SFC Robinson passed away in 2020. Thanks to the advocacy of Danielle, her mom Susan Zeier, a UAW retiree, and thousands of others, Congress passed the historic Honor Our PACT Act in 2022, delivering resources and health care access to the thousands of veterans exposed to toxic burn pits as a result of their service. The bill was named in honor of SFC Robinson.&nbsp;
