Ken Buck

Rep. Ken Buck's early departure from the U.S. House prompted a special election to fill the remainder of his term. A Colorado Republican committee on Thursday will select their candidate for the special election, and is expected to pick one of the primary candidates already running to replace Buck in 2024.

Ken Buck announced last week he will be stepping down on March 22 because of the dysfunction in Congress. He also refuted claims by Lauren Boebert that he decided to resign in order to make it harder to take over his 4th Congressional District post. The Colorado Sun editor Larry Ryckman joined KUNC's Michael Lyle, Jr. to provide more details.

Republican Rep. Ken Buck has announced that he'll resign next week, narrowing his party's razor-thin House majority and scrambling the already heated GOP primary to fill his Colorado seat. Buck is a staunch conservative who already declined to run for reelection as he became increasingly critical of his party's handling of former President Donald Trump.

U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, a conservative Republican who represents much of Colorado's rural eastern plains, says he won't seek a sixth term in Congress. The 64-year-old former prosecutor on Wednesday cited many in his party who refuse to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election and to condemn the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. He was one of the eight Republicans who joined with Democrats to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in early October.
