Today, I signed an Executive Order setting a congressional vacancy election for June 25, 2024, to fill Colorado’s 4th Congressional District vacancy following the resignation of Representative Ken Buck. This ensures Coloradans will have full representation in Congress, avoids costly duplication, and facilitates maximum voter participation. In accordance with Colorado law, the Governor must call a congressional vacancy election to occur no less than 85 days and no more than 100 days after the vacancy occurs.

Tonight I’m wondering if you heard this important nugget Ken Buck was quoted as saying? House Republicans’ razor-thin margin is now down to two. When talking to Axios, Buck hinted to what could be even bigger news: more resignations could be coming. “I think it's the next three people that leave that they're going to be worried about.” Does Buck know something that we don’t know or is he speculating? A special election in a very blue district in New York in April could shrink the GOP majority even more. As of today, Speaker Mike Johnson is two bad colds away from having to reach across the aisle to get anything done, such as keep the government open and functioning. A vote on funding 70% of the federal government is just days away. As for Buck, the representative from Colorado’s eastern plains, is a rare Republican indeed. He didn’t bend the knee to Donald Trump. What will the American electorate think about all this chaos? Come November, the current Republican House majority could become the minority real quick. ↓
