Lauren Boebert Removes Cameo Account Following Ethics Concerns

The Colorado congresswoman briefly offered $250 personalized videos on Cameo, raising questions about compliance with House rules on outside income and honoraria.

Lauren Boebert became the first sitting member of Congress to join Cameo, offering personalized videos for $250 each before deactivating her account within days.
House rules allow members to earn limited outside income but prohibit payments for speeches or similar activities, sparking questions about whether Boebert’s Cameo venture violated these regulations.
Boebert’s account initially described her as an influencer and political commentator rather than a congresswoman, but it was taken offline after scrutiny over potential ethics violations.
The House Ethics Committee has not yet issued formal guidance on whether Cameo videos fall under the category of prohibited honoraria for sitting members of Congress.
Boebert’s move follows a trend of former Republican lawmakers, including Matt Gaetz and George Santos, joining Cameo after leaving office, though she remains an active member of Congress.
