Rep. Ken Buck's replacement for Colorado's 4th a real doozie

 Update: 3 19 2024: Buck's replacement was picked to run in the primary. Greg Lopez is an election denier, against abortions with no exceptions, with a history of domestic violence, DUIs, and other run ins with the law.  Boebert did not vie for the nomination.

Nov, 1, 2023 posting on this blog as background?Ken Buck, R-CO, just announced on Andrea Mitchell's midday news program on MSNBC that he is not standing for re-election. Buck was an outspoken critic of his fellow House members who still supported the Big Lie and excused the Jan.6 riot/insurrection. He also was a strong supporter of aid to Ukraine. His district in Colorado is red, and he has just left the field to further takeover by MAGA. He, however, has made it clear he will still be a strong voice on the issues that put him in direct conflict with the new speaker, Mike Johnson though he rationalised his recent vote on Speaker that Mike Johnson did not participate in the Jan 6 violence and sought remedies within the judicial system.. When asked if Buck would support Trump or Biden in the upcoming presidential election, he answered he did not like either one. He does not plan to leave the Republican party.

He follows the recent announcement of a long time member of Congress from Texas that she could not seek re-election. Longtime Texas Rep. Kay Granger won’t seek reelection | The Hill

GOP Rep. Ken Buck is leaning in to his role as a conservative contrarian. But will voters in Colorado’s reddest district punish him for it? | Colorado Public Radio (cpr.org)
