Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[40] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[41] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Campaign website
Boebert's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
America First. I work for you. Not special interests. Not Washington, DC. Just you! Constitution and Bill of Rights. My job is to secure your rights and defend the Constitution as it is written. Limited Government. An entrenched federal bureaucracy with over 2 million federal employees who earn more and receive better benefits than Main Street is far from what our founders envisioned. Free Markets. Free and fair markets work when we let them. Life. I believe life begins at conception. Liberty. Attacks on our personal freedom must stop. Strong Borders. A country without borders is not a country at all. Energy. Energy independence is critical to our national defense and economic security. Fiscal Responsibility. The federal government doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. School Choice. Charter schools work. School choice works. Local decision making is better. Leadership. I am a strong conservative with principles that I will always stand up for. |
