DENVER — Multiple sources confirm to FOX31 and Channel 2 that Congressman Ken Buck is considering running to be chairman of the Colorado Republican Party.

Buck, who has served in Congress since 2015, previously served as a district attorney in Weld County. He represents Colorado’s largely rural 4th Congressional District, which covers most of the eastern part of the state.

Breaking: Two sources say Congressman Ken Buck is floating the idea of running for Colorado GOP State Party Chair. It is unclear if he would resign from Congress – but that remains a possibility. #coleg #copolitics — Joe St. George (@JoeStGeorge) January 9, 2019

What remains unclear is whether Congressman Buck would need to resign to hold the position or win the position if “commitment” became a topic among those who cast the deciding votes.

Republican officials tell FOX31 and Channel 2 that Buck would not need to resign in order to hold the post.

The Colorado Republican Party remains in “rebuild mode” after a devastating 2018 election.

Other officials interested in the position include State Rep. Susan Beckman, who said she would resign from her job if elected, as first reported Colorado Politics.
