On Tuesday, another Republican announced that he plans to retire early from the House, a decision that would further diminish a narrow GOP majority in the lower chamber.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who stated months ago that he would not seek re-election this year, did not provide a reason for moving up his exit date prior to the end of his two-year term in January of 2025 in a statement.
“It has been an honor to serve the people of Colorado’s 4th District in Congress for the past 9 years. I want to thank them for their support and encouragement throughout the years,” he said.
Buck added, “Today, I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week. I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado and with my family.”
