Chucklehead @repboebert posted her “by the numbers” self-assessment yesterday. Let’s use this edition of the #boebertreportcard to look at those numbers.

20,168 Calls with your Congresswoman

One wonders if this includes all the voicemails from us unhappy constituents? From a sheer numbers perspective this one doesn’t add up. If she worked 362 days in 2021 (she didn’t) that’d be over 55 calls a day. Maybe she means with her staff.

62 Mobile Office Hours

Now this sounds like she made herself available, but no. These “mobile office hours” involve her taxpayer funded staff going to places in the district, usually for an hour at a time, then packing up and moving on to the next place.

$403,529.12 in Benefits Returned to Constituents

Which is kinda strange, since she already claimed $320,000 in her October newsletter. Only an additional $83,529.12 in two months?

Compare this number for other Representatives. Jason Crowe’s number is over $3.2 million.

7 Resolutions Filed

Don’t make me laugh. 7 resolutions that she couldn’t get more than a few of her fellow GQPers to cosponsor.

153 Legislative Amendments

Like trying to ban multicolored lights at the White House, in case they were used to celebrate Pride. Banning the removal

of Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill. Obviously important stuff.

15 Nominations to the U.S. Service Academies

Each member of Congress is given 5 slots for each of 3 academies (West Point, the Naval Academy, and the Air Force Academy). For each slot that is open, Congresspersons

may nominate up to ten candidates. So she nominated the bare minimum and didn’t give a lot of time for candidates to submit.

655 cases Worked for Constituents

Which is also strange because it was 700 in her October 27 newsletter. Reopened cases? Or just made up numbers?

Jason

Crow closed 1,465 cases.

17 Bills Authored

These bills deserve their own thread. I’ll do that another day, but these have such unserious titles as the “Stop AOC Act” and “Stop the Biden Caravan.” Most of her bills have two pages of text, double-spaced. They are not serious.

466 Meetings with Constituents

But which constituents? She never publicly announces where she’ll be. Believe me, I watch her social media accounts. Is she including campaign events in these numbers? These constituents?

Or these people held at gunpoint in Creede? Or the people buried at this cemetery?

Or maybe she meant the constituents outside the building on Jan 6?

$77.5 Million in Federal Grants Benefiting CO-03

Would love to see a list of these, because I doubt she actually had anything to do with them. If she’s including the money to repair I70 through Glenwood Canyon, she wrote a draft letter that as far as I can tell was never sent.

21,304 Letters to Constituents
Ha! I’m betting she is including the junk mail she sent to voters in the district in this number. I’ve never received a reply to a letter I’ve sent her.

So, yeah, read Chucklehead’s accomplishments “by the numbers” with some skepticism.
