Who will run in Colorado's 4th congressional district now that Republican Ken Buck is disgusted by the dysfunction of his party

 
A safe Republican seat.  It's located in the wilds of eastern Colorado.

Headline and sub New York Times, 11/26/2023
Representative Ken Buck, Republican of Colorado, announced he would not seek re-election after his dissatisfaction and sense of disconnect with the G.O.P. had grown too great. Mr. Buck, who voted to oust Representative Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, has denounced his party’s election denialism and many members’ refusal to condemn the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. 
“We lost our way,” Mr. Buck told The New York Times this month. “We have an identity crisis in the Republican Party. If we can’t address the election denier issue and we continue down that path, we won’t have credibility with the American people that we are going to solve problems.”


So sez a member of the Freedom Caucus Crazies!


Welcome to West Kansas.  (The map doesn't identify any cities within the district.  And note the 'packing' of the eastern edge of metro Denver.  Just like what was one in metro Milwaukee.)

It appears that Ken Buck's "fellow Republicans" are mostly white men in dark suits and red ties.   (9/16/2023)
