    Doesn’t she also claim to be a millionaire? Education isn’t the only barrier to entry. Financials and family connections likely play a bigger role. If I’m living paycheck to paycheck I can’t stop working to go campaign. I also just can’t walk into my local political party office and demand to be put on a ballot for something out of the blue.

      Boebert is not a millionaire.

      Her most recent disclosure, filed on Aug. 13, 2022, lists seven assets worth $1,001 to $15,000 and five worth $1,000 or less. Even if each asset was at the high end of that range, that totals just over $100,000.

      Her previous work experience was as an Assistant Manager at a McDonald’s.

      Or possibly an assistant to the manager.
