A clean energy group is launching a $1.5 million spend against Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), its latest effort this midterm cycle targeting Republicans who actively work against renewables.<\/p>\n

The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition\u2019s first ad in the spend<\/a>, which was obtained by Blue Light News, focuses on an embarrassing incident for Boebert: when she was ejected from a live musical performance<\/a> of \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d for allegedly vaping, singing and recording the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Lauren Boebert can\u2019t be trusted in a room full of kids, then she can\u2019t be trusted in the halls of Congress,\u201d the ad says.<\/p>\n

The spot makes no mention of clean energy or Boebert\u2019s attacks on the so-called \u201cGreen New Scam.\u201d The strategy mimics the group\u2019s previous playbook that it has deployed to help defeat Reps. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) in their Republican primaries earlier this year, as the latter two sought statewide office. The PAC had tried to paint Ogles as an absentee member of Congress and Roy as insufficiently MAGA.<\/p>\n

The group, which is backed by solar executives, has become an increasingly forceful player this cycle, which has seen a massive influx of outside spending.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis industry has been villainized and used as a punching bag at times by the right, and the industry hasn\u2019t always punched back,\u201d said Chris Coffey, the CEO of Tusk Strategies, which is helping run the group. \u201cMaybe when they\u2019re deciding who to villainize next year, they will at least be like, \u2018You know what? I don\u2019t need problems with those guys.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Boebert\u2019s district is historically deeply red. But Invest in Tomorrow also commissioned a poll, which shows she is underwater: 39% of likely voters view her favorably and 55% view her unfavorably. It also found Boebert leading the district\u2019s Democratic nominee Eileen Laubacher by 5 points.<\/p>\n

The poll, conducted by Impact Research from Sept. 21 to 24, polled 403 likely voters and had a margin of error of \u00b14.8%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
