Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is facing a new ad from her potential Democratic challenger Ike McCorkle, vowing to run him out of Washington.
The ad featured McCorkle saying:
Life has a way of shaping us. My mother joined the Air Force when I was eight years old. I joined the United States Marine Corps at the age of 17. I served in my first recruitment. I returned home to pursue my education. On September 12, 2001, I raised my right hand and bought a front row ticket.
After almost 18 years of service, I decided to return home to my family. I recognized the laxity in Congress. I found that the democracy I had fought so hard to protect had broken down. I have seen politicians claim to support our veterans, but they always come up short when we need them most.
