Ken Buck and Lauren Boebert had previously announced their retirements and Boebert's intention to run for Buck's seat, respectively.

"Rep. Doug Lamborn to Retire, Leaving Colorado's GOP Seats Open"

U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) has announced he will not seek reelection in 2024, opening up all three Republican-held congressional seats in Colorado. Lamborn, who has served since 2006 and is known for his focus on military issues and anti-abortion stance, cited a desire to start a new chapter with his family. His departure, along with Rep. Ken Buck's retirement and Rep. Lauren Boebert's decision to run for Buck's seat, sets the stage for a competitive race in the GOP-dominated 5th Congressional District. Lamborn's tenure has not been without controversy, including a lawsuit from a former staffer and an ethics investigation. Several Republicans are already expressing interest in Lamborn's seat, while five Democrats have filed to run.
