Lauren Boebert affair row: Florida Rep. breaks silence amid $200,000 hush money claim; ‘utterly false’
Lauren Boebert denies a sworn ethics complaint alleging staff relationships and a $200,000 payment to one aide, calling allegations false.
Rep. Lauren Boebert is rejecting a complaint filed with the U.S. House Committee on Ethics that alleges she had sexual relationships with three congressional staffers. The complaint, filed by David Wheeler of American Muckrakers on September 17, names Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, Raven Finegan, and Jeffrey Small. Boebert's representative stated that the allegations are "utterly false" and a politically motivated attempt to generate headlines.
Navarro Ratzlaff, who served as Boebert's district director from 2021 to 2025, has also denied the claims. The ethics complaint alleges that around $200,000 was paid to Navarro Ratzlaff after she planned to file an ethics complaint to prevent her from doing so. The House Ethics Committee has not yet determined the allegations as fact.
