Rep. Lauren Boebert won't run in Colorado special election to finish Rep. Ken Buck's term
CBSN
Colorado will have a special election in June to fill the seat currently occupied by Republican Rep. Ken Buck, and Rep. Lauren Boebert says she won't be one of the candidates. Buck announced this week that he will resign next week as Colorado's 4th Congressional District representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Boebert announced on Wednesday that she will not be a candidate in the special election because she plans to serve out the end of her current term in Congress. Boebert is a Republican congresswoman who represents Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, but she is running to replace Buck in CD4 in November's general election.
From March 22 when Buck leaves Congress until late June, Buck's seat in Congress will be empty. The special election that Gov. Jared Polis ordered will be held on June 25, coinciding with Colorado's primary elections for House races. It will result in a representative to serve in Congress and represent CD3 through the remainder of what would have been his term.
