Since she made international headlines for some questionable behavior during a performance of “Beetlejuice” last year, all eyes have been on the congresswoman. But beyond the gun-toting, President Biden-heckling image she presents, who is Lauren Boebert, really? How did she go from running a gun-themed restaurant to running for Congress?

We’ve talked to her former friends, foes, fellow legislators, and reporters who have been covering her career over the last few years. We want to understand what her rapid rise to success says about the future of Colorado — and American — politics. Ultimately, we want to figure out why it feels like Lauren Boebert just can’t lose.

You can find new episodes of “Lauren Boebert Can’t Lose” every Wednesday on the City Cast Denver website, or wherever you get your podcasts.
