Bernett was first elected in 2020, listing an address in unincorporated Boulder County, Colorado, as her primary residence. During the 2021 redistricting, her district was redrawn into one that leaned Republican, and during the 2022 midterms, in her first reelection bid, she listed her primary address as being in Louisville, in a district with a noted Democratic advantage, the outlet reported.
Bernett overwhelmingly won reelection in November; however, investigators with the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office later determined that she did not actually live at the address in question but rented an apartment there to run for office.
Bernett is scheduled for an arraignment hearing on Feb. 10.
She did not admit guilt after resigning, saying in a statement that she is giving up her seat “while addressing these charges rather than compromising the policy initiatives she deems important to those living in House District 12 and the citizens of Colorado.”
