Boebert, 35, was first elected by voters in 2020 and since taking public office, she has denied the 2020 presidential election results and even interrupted President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech. She also criticized a Democratic member of Congress over their religion. According to Boebert's website. "U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is serving her first term as the Representative for Colorado’s Third Congressional District. She is on the Natural Resources and Budget Committees, is co-chair of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus, and after only a few months, was elected to the Executive Board as the Communications Chair of the House Freedom Caucus and was also appointed to serve on the Future of American Freedoms Task Force. Rep. Boebert also serves as the Vice Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus."

In the latest update, journalist Kyle Clark wrote on Twitter, "UPDATE: Democrat Adam Frisch is poised to upset Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert in CO-3, based on a 9NEWS analysis of remaining ballots, which are largely in counties where Frisch holds strong leads."

What is Lauren Boebert's net worth?

The US Sun reported this year that while Boebert's exact net worth is unclear, it is estimated to be around $2 million. The average salary for someone in Boebert's position is around $174k, as per the Congressional Institute.

Boebert is also known to have made money off her restaurant, Shooters Grill, of which she was the founder, owner, and operator. Before closing down, her restaurant faced widespread criticism because their staff was allowed to open carry while they served customers. 

“When my husband, Jayson, and I made the decision to open a restaurant, we knew the financials in the industry were not always favorable. That did not deter us; we were not and are not in this business for the sole purpose to make a profit," Boebert wrote in a 2017 opinion piece for the Post Independent. "We rely on our valued customers to keep our doors open, but that money does not go into our pockets.”

"Our restaurants have never been just about guns, but what an interesting way to connect with people and have the opportunity to reach into their hearts from such a superficial, beginning level. We have seen families reconciled, bodies healed, people brought into the Kingdom of God by making Jesus their Lord and so much more," she added. 

Meanwhile, social media discussed how close the battle is between Boebert and Frisch. "Just a caveat that the vote counted today has been coming in stronger for Boebert than her existing vote share in those same counties. If that pattern holds, she could be slightly ahead in these final Pueblo ballots (possibly dropped off yesterday?)," one user wrote. Another said, "There is a chance she wins. As long as there's a possibility, it's not right to call it. People are celebrating based on "Likely". It's irresponsible." "I live in this district. Boebert has gained 3,000+ votes today. She is only 70 behind. Let’s hold out on announcing this monumental upset h til it happens. I feel that everyone who is annpinted Frisch already is sending a serious jinx," wrote one user.
