“To my friends in Colorado, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve our nation, and to serve you,' Buck said in part.
Buck, who has represented the district that covers all of eastern Colorado since 2015, cited the Republican Party's acceptance of election denialism and lies as his reason for leaving Congress. He said he's disappointed to see Congress unable to deal with real issues.
"These insidious narratives breed widespread cynicism and erode Americans' confidence in the rule of law. It's impossible for the Republican Party to confront our problems and offer a course correction for the future while being obsessively fixated on retribution and vengeance for contrived injustices of the past.
Earlier this month, Buck was one of 24 House Republicans who voted for someone other than Jim Jordan as speaker. He said he received death threats and was evicted from one of his congressional offices in his district for opposing the Ohio Republican. Jordan dropped his bid, and Mike Johnson was confirmed as speaker.
