Rep. Lauren Boebert stopped by La Plata County Wednesday to meet with county commissioners. The congresswoman also met with The Durango Herald to discuss some of her legislative accomplishments and future priorities.

In a brief 30-minute work session in the county board room, commissioners told Boebert that residents were frustrated by mail delays in rural areas such as Hesperus, and that there was little recourse for those residents.

The commissioners also highlighted the need to slash fees associated with broadband installation and to increase funding for wildfire mitigation.

In a brief moment of tension, Boebert butted heads with Commissioner Marsha Porter-Norton when discussing the newly adopted oil and gas regulations in the county.

Boebert has a reputation for her flashy, and at times controversial, conduct in Washington D.C. and online. But in meetings Wednesday, the representative was calm and attentive.

Boebert touted securing a $1.5 million allocation of federal spending this year for a stoplight in Bayfield as among the accomplishments she delivered residents of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.

The meeting with the county was an opportunity for commissioners to bring forward issues that must be changed at the federal level.
