  • Representative Lauren Boebert criticized the ongoing war in Iran as detrimental on many levels during a debate with Democratic challenger Eileen Laubacher.
  • Boebert said she wants the conflict to end and that she communicates regularly with the Department of War and President Donald Trump's administration on the issue.
  • Laubacher countered that Boebert's stance was insincere, pointing out that Boebert has voted five times against war powers resolutions aimed at limiting military authority.
  • The seven-month conflict involving the U.S. and Iran has resulted in the deaths of at least 18 U.S. service members and cost taxpayers more than $30 billion.
  • Boebert currently leads Laubacher by 45 percent to 40 percent in Colorado's 4th Congressional District ahead of Election Day.
