"Rep. Doug Lamborn to Retire, Leaving Colorado's GOP Seats Open"
U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) has announced he will not seek reelection in 2024, opening up all three Republican-held congressional seats in Colorado. Lamborn, who has served since 2006 and is known for his focus on military issues and anti-abortion stance, cited a desire to start a new chapter with his family. His departure, along with Rep. Ken Buck's retirement and Rep. Lauren Boebert's decision to run for Buck's seat, sets the stage for a competitive race in the GOP-dominated 5th Congressional District. Lamborn's tenure has not been without controversy, including a lawsuit from a former staffer and an ethics investigation. Several Republicans are already expressing interest in Lamborn's seat, while five Democrats have filed to run.
