Rep. Lauren Boebert spent thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to visit singer Kid Rock, who is rumored to be her boyfriend.
Federal Election Commission findings show that Ms. Boebert’s reelection committee, Lauren Boebert for Congress, spent $925 on tickets to a show at Texas’s AT&T Stadium in May — the weekend that Kid Rock was hosting a Rock N Rodeo event ahead of the Professional Bull Riding World Finals Championship.
Another $2,455 was spent by the Colorado Republican’s committee at Live! By Loews, a 4-star hotel in Arlington, Texas, near the arena.
The Daily Mail was the first news outlet to report on the FEC filings. American Muckrakers, a non-profit that aims to hold politicians accountable, flagged the FEC filings in August and filed an FEC complaint.
The Federal Election Campaign Act prohibits the use of campaign funds for personal use.
The Washington Times has reached out to Ms. Boebert’s office for comment.
The two had reportedly been seeing each other since President Trump’s inauguration, when they were spotted getting into a cab together after an inauguration party, but neither has confirmed a relationship.
However, Ms. Boebert has reportedly been seeing Kyle Pearcy, a real estate broker from Colorado, since before Halloween.
Kid Rock has been a vocal supporter of Mr. Trump, and has often appeared at his rallies and events, including the Republican National Convention last July.
