Boebert had switched districts after Buck announced his impending retirement to avoid a stiff challenge from Democrat Adam Frisch in the 3rd district, but Buck’s immediate departure will set up a special election in which the state Republican and Democratic parties will choose a nominee – and there’s no guarantee they’ll pick the controversial Boebert.
Further complicating matters, Boebert would have to resign her seat in the 3rd district to run in that special election because Colorado law prohibits a candidate from running for more than one office at a time, and her resignation would set up yet another U.S. House special election before the end of the year.
The dude has a more conservative voting record than the average house republican according to the heritage foundation. That voting record suggests he’s a believer in conservative governing even if he thinks his party is dysfunctional as shit. I couldn’t see Bernie Sanders voting with Republicans just to try to get democrats to get their shit together.
