The current CD3 representative, who's already running to be the Republican candidate for CD4 in November, does not plan to run in the special election.Congresswoman Lauren Boebert spoke for over thirty minutes today about Ken Buck's resignation and the current political state of the country.Speaking in a live"special announcement" today, March 13, U.S.
Buck's announcement that he would be resigning came on Tuesday, March 12, and tossed a huge wrench into the Colorado Republican Party's plans. Initially, GOP voters had been tasked with choosing the Republican candidate to replace Buck in CD4 in the June 25 primary. Now, they will be voting in a special election to immediately fill Buck's vacant seat on June 25, as well as voting in the primary for the Republican who will be on the November ballot.
A poll from Kaplan Strategies last month showed that 46 percent of GOP voters in CD4 would not vote for someone who switched districts. However, Boebert — who came in fifth in a January straw poll following the— led all GOP candidates when it came to whom voters would ultimately choose to represent them, chosen by 32 percent of those surveyed.
"This new vacancy doesn't change my race, nor my commitment to proving to Republican voters why I am the strongest conservative voice to serve them in Washington," Sonnenberg said in a statement March 12."I look forward to earning this nomination and getting to D.C. as soon as possible so that we can secure our border, defend our constitutional rights, and hold Joe Biden and this administration accountable for their repeated failures.
Buck had announced in November that he wouldn't be seeking reelection in CD4, citing similar issues and his concern regarding the Republican Party's continued attacks on the U.S. election process and repeated claims that the 2020 election was"rigged." Another frustration for Buck has been the allegation that January 6 demonstrators are political scapegoats being punished for something that was staged by Democrats.
