BREAKING: Boulder County Democratic state Rep. Tracey Bernett resigned from office on the first day of the legislative session. Bernett is facing felony charges related to her allegedly lying about her primary residence in her 2022 re-election bid.
with attempting to influence a public servant, forgery, providing false information about a residence, perjury and procuring false registration. The charges stem from her allegedly lying about her primary residence in her 2022 re-election bid.
Bernett was first elected in 2020, and listed an address in unincorporated Boulder County, just south of Longmont, as her primary residence. During the 2021 redistricting, that residence was drawn into a district that non-partisan analysts gave a slight Republican tilt. In her 2022 re-election bid, she listed her primary address as being in Louisville, and in a district with a distinct Democratic advantage. She overwhelmingly won re-election this November.
Investigators with the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office determined she did not actually live at that address but rented an apartment there to run for office. She is scheduled for an arraignment hearing Feb. 10.
