Boebert Campaign Filings Show Spending Tied to Kid Rock Event

New FEC records list hotel and ticket payments after a May Kid Rock appearance, raising questions under rules barring personal use of campaign funds.

Overview

  • The Daily Beast reported, and Alternet and Raw Story relayed, that filings list $2,455.83 at Live by Loews in Arlington and $925 for event tickets at AT&T Stadium.
  • The payments were recorded three days after the May Rock N Rodeo during the Professional Bull Riding World Finals in Texas.
  • Federal campaign finance rules prohibit personal use of donor money, and experts say such spending could be unlawful depending on purpose and documentation.
  • No FEC investigation or charges were reported in the coverage, and no response from Boebert’s campaign was included.
  • Democratic challengers Trisha Calvarese and Eileen Laubacher criticized the spending, as separate reporting recapped public sightings that fueled unconfirmed dating rumors involving Kid Rock.
