Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Bobert announcing she will not be running
in the special election for Colorado's 4th congressional seat.
The Republican currently representing Colorado's Western Slope is still,
though running for Ken Buck's seat.
In a statement on X,
formerly known as Twitter, the congresswoman says,
quote, the establishment concocted a swampy backroom deal to try
to rig an election.
I'm winning by 25 points,
Representative Bobert adding, quote forcing an unnecessary special election on
the same day as the primary election will confuse voters
result in a lame duck congressman on day one.
The 4th District with no representation for more than three
months.
And of course, this all comes after Congressman Ken Buck
announced it he would move up his retirement and plan
to leave Congress at the end of next week.
