Ken Buck resigning
He had already announced he wouldn’t run for re-election. Now he’s leaving mid-term.

quote:
In a CNN interview shortly after his announcement, Buck said the current session of Congress “is the worst year of the nine years and three months that I’ve been in Congress.” He also said he wouldn’t meddle in picking his successor. But he indicated, without offering specifics, that he hopes to play a role more broadly in improving electoral politics in the U.S.

“Instead of having decorum, instead of operating in a professional manner, this place has just devolved into bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people,” Buck said.

He represented a very red district. I expect his successor to be more Boebert like.
Boebert is running another district.

No, Boebert is running in Buck's district (4th). She abandoned the 3rd district because Adam Frisch looked set to smack her down. Others in the 4th consider her a carpetbagger. We'll see. She has name recognition, which matters a lot, seemingly, for the unthinking troglodytes of the MAGA GOP.

Boebert is not happy.
