DENVER — Tracey Bernett, the Democratic state representative for House District 12 in Boulder County, was charged Friday with multiple felony and misdemeanor counts after she allegedly misrepresented her primary residence to run in the district she currently represents.
But after redistricting, District 12 no longer includes Longmont, which Bernett listed as her primary residence when she was elected in 2020. Instead, the Longmont home was drawn into District 19 during redistricting. Prosecutors say that since the investigation found she did not live at the Louisville address, she had signed false sworn documents with the Secretary of State’s office. They also say that because she misrepresented her residence, she voted in June’s primary in a district she does not live in.
