<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.

The Hometown Candidate to Beat Lauren Boebert

I'm a Colorado native who grew up in Sterling and Highlands Ranch. I was working in Washington, D.C. when my parents got sick. Thanks to my union, I was able to return home to provide end-of-life care. Now, I'm running for Congress to restore reproductive rights, defend Social Security and Medicare and to make Colorado a world leader in renewable energy and climate technology.

But then we learned he had been exposed to toxic burn pits during his service and, as a result, was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer. I stood by his side as he fought every day, but we lost Heath in 2020. In his honor, the PACT Act was passed to care for veterans like him—those exposed to toxic chemicals while serving their country."“But Lauren Boebert voted against it. She didn’t just turn her back on veterans and their families—she made it clear where her priorities lie when she heckled the President as he honored Heath’s memory at the State of the Union. In that moment, Boebert disrespected not only my family but every veteran who has served and sacrificed. Lauren Boebert would rather participate in a political stunt than respect military families or get<img src="https://run.imgix.net/d2edc86f-8205-4038-89bd-a2e5507c9ddc/15417250-9cc3-4099-8198-e7d3dde8e9c4/15417250-9cc3-4099-8198-e7d3dde8e9c4.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=219%2C0%2C1935%2C1086&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="50" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">things done that help us."“Veterans and military families deserve better. Our country deserves better. That’s why I’m supporting Trisha Calvarese. Trisha knows the importance of standing up for those who served, and she’s committed to doing what’s right. She cared for her own parents at the end of their lives, just as I cared for Heath. I’ve spent time with Trisha, I know she understands the meaning of service and sacrifice, and I trust her to be a decent, compassionate leader that will stand up for veterans and their families in Congress.”&nbsp;

In the ad, Trisha talks about her family story and providing end-of-life care to her parents. Trisha’s compassion stands in stark contrast to Rep. Boebert, who voted against doing right by our veterans and against providing benefits to those exposed to cancer causing toxins as a result of their service.

<h2>FIRST TV AD: Widow of Burn Pit Veteran Blasts Lauren Boebert for Disrespecting Her Family &amp; Veterans Exposed to Cancer Causing Toxins</h2>Danielle Robinson, the widow of SFC Heath Robinson, Endorses Calvarese&nbsp; Trisha Calvarese, the Democratic nominee running against Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District, released her first TV ad of the general election.&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;

If there are things we need to know about, let us know here.

Lauren Boebert only won reelection in 2022 by 546 votes. New polling shows Trisha can defeat Boebert in 2024, but ONLY IF we raise enough to reach voters. DONATE NOW to GOTV so we can beat Boebert!

My parents lived in Sterling, Colorado, where my dad was the City Attorney, and my mom was a childcare provider. My mom needed emergency surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. It saved her life and made mine possible the next year.&nbsp; We ultimately moved to be closer to care. I grew up in Highlands Ranch, in Douglas County, when there were wild horses. My parents were conservatives and taught me the importance of family, community, and serving others. I attended Douglas County public schools and earned a full academic scholarship to Johns Hopkins. I am a wordsmith by trade. At the AFL-CIO, representing working people in every industry, I worked to help pass historic infrastructure and American energy legislation. Most recently, at the US National Science Foundation, an independent federal agency, I worked for a Trump nominee on key workforce legislation that is re-shoring American manufacturing and expanding the map of American innovation. Then, last fall, my mom called to tell me that she did not have long to live. She’d been caring for my dad, who had been battling cancer. With both parents facing terminal illnesses, I returned home to Highlands Ranch to provide end-of-life care for both my parents.&nbsp; My dad’s union pension covered his treatment. Medicare provided both of my parents the care they needed and gave us precious time together in the comfort of our home. It was thanks to my own union, AFGE 3403, that I was able to drop everything to take care of my parents.&nbsp; I’m running for the care and dignity of families in my hometown.&nbsp; Before he died, my dad told me to run. That meant a lot, especially from a guy who voted Republican his entire life.&nbsp; Lauren Boebert voted against lowering prescription drug costs, including the ones that extended my dad’s life, and I can’t let that stand.&nbsp; Systems of support and care are missing, and economic hardship on middle-class families are mounting. We need new opportunities to meet people where they are. We need paths into the middle class and ladders up everywhere, and not always requiring a four-year degree. With expertise navigating Washington and intimate knowledge of our district's needs, I promise you will be heard in Congress. As we rise to local challenges, from legislation I helped shape, I will work to bring home investments for union jobs, apprenticeships, workforce training, public education, and start-ups. I will fight with my whole heart to protect and expand access to reproductive and maternal care and protect Social Security and Medicaid. Together, we can sustain our democracy and build a community that works for all of us.

Lauren Boebert starts off leading Democrat Trisha Calvarese by a sizable margin, but that lead turns into a nearly equal deficit after voters hear about Boebert's positions on abortion and other issues, according to an internal poll conducted by a Colorado firm for the Calvarese campaign.Boebert is one of six Republicans running in next month's primary for the seat formerly held by Republican Ken Buck, who resigned from Congress in March, while Calvarese, a former speechwriter for the AFL-CIO and staffer at the National Science Foundation, is one of three Democrats seeking her party's nomination in the solid red 4th Congressional District.In a simultaneous special election, voters in the district will also elect someone to fill the remainder of Buck's term through the end of the year, choosing between Calvarese,&nbsp;Republican Greg Lopez, Libertarian Hannah Goodman and Approval Voting Party nominee Frank Attwood.A Keating Research poll of likely voters made available for review to Colorado Politics found the better-known Boebert beating Calvarese 49% to 37%, with 12% undecided, in a hypothetical general election contest. However, Calvarese jumped to a 47% to 38% lead over Boebert, with 13% undecided, after voters were read a handful of statements about the two candidates. Both margins were outside the poll's 4.4% margin of error.The survey of 500 likely voters was conducted April 18-24 by live telephone interviewers. The pollster said the sample represents likely general election voters based on party registration, gender, age, region and ethnicity.Chris Keating, the Democratic firm's founder, told Colorado Politics the points that appeared to move voters most included Boebert's votes on veterans' health care legislation, her support for a national abortion ban and a reminder about the scandal that engulfed Boebert late last summer when she was <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coloradopolitics.com/news/lauren-boebert-ejected-beetlejuice-performance-denver-complaints/article_18254bfe-51c8-11ee-9e6c-8b72a7bc9aae.html">ejected from a Denver performance of the musical "Beetlejuice"</a> for vaping and other disruptive behavior.That massive, unusual shift in voter sentiment suggests the state's most prominent Republican could be unexpectedly vulnerable if she wins the GOP nomination in her adopted district, said Keating, the only pollster to have accurately <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coloradopolitics.com/elections/how-adam-frisch-saw-a-path-to-defeating-lauren-boebert-in-gop-leaning-colorado-district/article_782a9bd8-6120-11ed-9f88-9b358d2d855a.html">shown Boebert had a close race on her hands</a> in the last election.Boebert defeated Democratic challenger Adam Frisch in 2022 by fewer than 600 votes in the GOP-leaning 3rd Congressional District, a seat national election forecasters had called safely Republican up until Election Day. Contrary to that consensus, Keating <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coloradopolitics.com/elections/2022/lauren-boebert-in-statistical-dead-heat-with-challenger-adam-frisch-dems-internal-polling-shows/article_4eeab1ca-4403-11ed-b237-d330d14b390b.html">pegged the race as a dead heat</a> in an internal poll for Frisch released shortly before voters began casting ballots.Facing a rematch against Frisch, who set state fundraising records and out-raised Boebert by wide margins all year, the two-term Republican announced late last year that she was moving from the Western Slope-based 3rd CD into the safer 4th CD, which covers Douglas County, Loveland and Colorado's Eastern Plains. Buck had earlier announced he wouldn't seek reelection to a sixth term.Boebert's current position in the new district reflects her high unfavorable scores, said Keating, noting that his polling found she's deeply underwater, particularly with the district's unaffiliated voters."If you look at the demographics of the district, you've got an 18-point Republican advantage, and Buck won by 23-24 points," Keating said. "It’s a tough place for any Democrat to win, but I think having Boebert on the ticket, this poll shows Trisha has a real opportunity, because all these suburban-exurban voters are not too thrilled about her not standing up for veterans, her national abortion ban and the 'Beetlejuice' incident.""That’s what swings it," Keating added. "You go to basically 2-to-1 for Trisha with unaffiliateds, and up 52% to 34% with women, after hearing these things."Boebert's campaign declined to comment on the Democrat's internal poll.It's the second recent internal poll that shows Boebert facing strong headwinds in a hypothetical general election matchup. A survey conducted by the nonpartisan firm Gravis Marketing for Democrat Ike McCorkle, a Marine veteran making his third run for the seat, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coloradopolitics.com/elections/2024/internal-poll-shows-mccorkle-leads-boebert/article_4fd34bbc-1d03-11ef-aa9d-bb703058a29b.html">showed McCorkle leading Boebert</a> in a hypothetical general election contest 41% to 27%, with 33% undecided, with a 4.7% margin of error.Calvarese and McCorkle share the Democratic primary ballot with John Padora, an engineer and addiction-recovery advocate.Boebert's primary opponents are former state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, and state Reps. Mike Lynch, R-Wellington, Richard Holtorf, R-Akron, former talk radio host and nonprofit founder Deborah Flora and business consultant Peter Yu.Ballots go out to voters during the first full week of June and are due back to county clerks by 7 p.m. on June 25.

From Colorado Politics - Boebert's current position in the new district reflects her high unfavorable scores, said Keating, noting that his polling found she's deeply underwater, particularly with the district's unaffiliated voters.

Trisha Calvarese within striking distance of Lauren Boebert, Colorado Democrat's internal poll shows

From Newsweek, In a statement released after the debate, Calvarese accused her rival of having "disrespected veterans" as well as "working against lowering the cost of critical prescription drugs" and "missing critical votes" concerning the national debt. The debate was held at Ravenna Golf Club in Littleton over lunchtime and was hosted by the Douglas County Economic Development Corporation.

Lauren Boebert 'Melted Down' On Debate Stage, Opponent Says

<a href="https://www.cpr.org/2024/06/03/vg-2024-colorado-primary-elections-congressional-district-4-candidate-trisha-calvarese/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Colorado Public Radio - Michelle P. Fulcher</a>Democrat Trisha Calvarese was raised in Highlands Ranch, then left Colorado to work for the U.S. Civil Service and the AFL-CIO before returning to the state in the fall of 2023 to care for her aging parents.Calvarese, who describes herself as the “hometown” candidate, is in a unique position in this race — her name will appear on both the Democratic primary ballot and the ballot for the special vacancy election to fill out the remainder of former congressman Ken Buck’s term this year.For the primary, she won top-line billing at the district assembly. She was selected for the vacancy election by a committee of local Democrats.In her campaign materials Calvarese touts her work as a speechwriter for the AFL-CIO and the National Space Foundation, saying she was “at the forefront of shaping messaging” in support of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act and the Chips and Science Act. All of those measures, she says, have helped support jobs for 4th District residents.Calvarese has never run for office. She served as campaign manager for a 2018 House race that her candidate lost.Calvarese spoke to CPR News about her positions on some of the issues that are most important to voters in the district.<h3>On democracy and good governance</h3>For starters, Calvarese said, a key congressional responsibility is passing a budget and funding the government. “When people are saying good government, I get it,” she said. “We need to pass crop insurance, we need to get a Farm Bill passed, and when those things are delayed they have real tangible impacts on people’s incomes and livelihoods.”One way to improve the performance and productivity of Congress, she said, would be to reverse the rule that allows a single member of Congress to force a vote on a resolution to remove the House Speaker. That rule led to last year’s ouster of Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a long battle over who would replace him.Hearkening back to her union roots with the AFL-CIO, Calvarese said democracy needs to be bolstered not just in the political sphere but in the workplace. In the age of AI, workers need to be able to speak up about working conditions, their benefits and the results of their work. “In a lot of cases it’s technology — whether that is protection against AI replacing you, or what your output is.”<h3>On the economy and cost of living</h3>Calvarese said she would target “price gougers,” to bring inflation down and improve the economy. “We've seen record profits at a time that people’s pocketbooks have been really, really pinched, where for my generation, it's literally a luxury to buy groceries.”Another priority, she said, would be to bring jobs in innovative fields to rural Colorado. The 4th District, she noted, lacks a traditional four-year university “so we need pathways into excellent jobs that maybe don’t necessarily need a four-year degree.”On housing, Calvarese blames “speculators” for buying up starter homes and driving up prices. And she said the growing pressure on the “sandwich generation” – people caring both for children and elderly parents – speaks to the need to develop multi-generational housing.&nbsp;That problem is especially acute in rural areas, she said, where young people often feel like they have an impossible choice – staying in a small town to care for family members, or moving elsewhere to find economic opportunity. “No one should have to choose between those two. We should be able to have both,” she said.<h3>On immigration</h3>Calvarese says Colorado has the potential to become a world hub for renewable energy. At the same time, she touts her endorsement by the United Mine Workers and vows that the transition from fossil fuels won’t come at the expense of workers.“For folks who work in the fossil fuel industry we need to have bridges that get them either to upskill and reskill into different fields, and we need workplace protections in place, or even bridges to their pensions, whatever it takes, but it's not going to be on their backs.”She said economic incentives and partnerships are already available to spark research and development in renewables. “We need a representative though, who is going to fight tooth and nail to connect the money that's already there to our communities so that we can address some of these challenges that we're all going to face together one way or another.”

From Colorado Public Radio - For the primary, she won top-line billing at the district assembly. She was selected for the vacancy election by a committee of local Democrats.
