Overview
- A sworn complaint filed Sept. 17 by David B. Wheeler of American Muckrakers alleges Rep. Lauren Boebert had sexual relationships with three aides and that about $200,000 was paid in March 2025 after one aide threatened to file a complaint.
- The filing names Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, Raven Finegan, and Jeffrey Small and alleges encounters in a district office, a campaign-reimbursed vehicle, and campaign-paid hotel rooms.
- The complaint’s evidentiary material relies heavily on unnamed sources, redacted verification passages, and payroll and campaign-finance analyses that the filer says should be independently verified.
- Boebert and the aide central to the complaint have publicly denied the allegations, with Boebert saying she was never sexually involved with staff and Navarro calling the claims false.
- The House Committee on Ethics has not confirmed any review and customarily does not comment on possible inquiries; if substantiated the allegations could lead to an investigation, possible disciplinary action, and further political fallout given the filer’s history of contested reporting.
