"Former Mayor Greg Lopez Chosen as GOP Nominee to Replace Ken Buck in Colorado's 4th Congressional District"
TL;DR
Greg Lopez, a former Parker Mayor and two-time failed gubernatorial candidate with a history of run-ins with law enforcement, has been selected as the Republican nominee for the June 25 special election in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District to replace Ken Buck. Despite his controversial past, Lopez is expected to win due to the district's strong Republican lean. His selection comes after six rounds of voting by a Republican vacancy committee, and if elected, he would help maintain the GOP's majority in the U.S. House. The special election will be held on the same day as the state's primaries, and Lopez has promised to only serve out the remainder of Buck's term.
