Ken Buck (R), the incumbent Congressman in Colorado's 4th Congressional District (roughly speaking, the rural front range), is not running for re-election because he's sick of the lies (see also here) from his own political party about issues like who won the 2020 Presidential election.
This leaves an open seat in 2024, and many people are rushing to join the Republican primary race for the seat.
As much as I'd like to hope for a Democratic pickup of this open seat, it isn't happening. The 4th Congressional District is the safest GOP seat of all eight seats in Colorado.
Instead, the race will be a bellwether for the Colorado Republican party, to see how far right towards MAGA populism it has grown, and how much it remains a party of more traditional conservatives.
