Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has announced that she will not be running in Colorado's June special election to fill the seat of Republican Ken Buck, who is stepping down next week. Boebert has confirmed that her primary bid to replace Buck in November for a full two-year term will continue.
Boebert's decision not to run in the upcoming special election comes as a surprise to many, as there was speculation about her potential candidacy. However, she has chosen to focus on her primary bid for the regular election later this year.
Ken Buck's impending departure from office has sparked interest and activity among potential candidates looking to fill the vacant seat. With Boebert opting out of the special election, the field of contenders may shift, leading to a more competitive race.
Boebert, known for her outspoken conservative views and advocacy for Second Amendment rights, has been a prominent figure in Colorado politics. Her decision to prioritize the November election indicates her commitment to serving her constituents for a full term in Congress.
The special election to fill Ken Buck's seat will now proceed without Boebert's candidacy, opening up opportunities for other Republican hopefuls to step forward. The outcome of the special election will have implications for the political landscape in Colorado and the representation of the state in Congress.
As the election season unfolds, voters in Colorado's congressional district will have the opportunity to evaluate the candidates vying for the vacant seat and make an informed decision about who will best represent their interests in Washington, D.C.
