Third Colorado GOP Representative Announces Retirement

Rep. Doug Lamborn's decision leaves all three Republican-held House districts in Colorado without incumbents.

Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) announced his retirement from Congress, marking the third Republican-held seat in Colorado to be vacated.
Lamborn's decision follows similar announcements from Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who is leaving her district to run in Buck's seat.
Lamborn, who has served since 2007, cited age and a desire to spend more time with family as reasons for his retirement.
Despite the shakeup, Lamborn's seat is considered a safe Republican seat, as is Buck's, while Boebert's former seat is rated lean Republican.
The retirement announcements from Lamborn, Buck, and Boebert have left all three GOP-held House districts in Colorado without incumbents.
