"Rep. Lauren Boebert Opts Out of Colorado Special Election, Sparks GOP Panic Over Retiring Members"
Colorado will hold a special election in June to fill the seat of departing Republican Rep. Ken Buck, but Rep. Lauren Boebert has announced that she will not run in the special election to finish Buck's term, opting to serve out her current term in Congress. Boebert criticized Buck's decision to resign, stating that it will result in a "lame duck" representative being elected for less than a year. The special election will coincide with Colorado's primary elections for House races, and this will be the state's second recent special election to fill a congressional seat.
