As the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports:
Perry Buck, a member of the elected Weld County Council, announced she is a candidate for the Republican nomination to state House District 49.
Buck, who is married to Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, is a life insurance agent and former small-business owner…
House District 49 covers parts of Larimer and Weld counties. The district currently is represented by Rep. B.J. Nikkel, R-Loveland. Nikkel cannot seek re-election from the district because of new boundaries established by the Reapportionment Commission.
The Loveland Reporter-Herald reports on another GOP candidate for HD-49 recently announced, but we’d expect that the well-connected Perry Buck, former vice-chair of the state party, should have no trouble beating bail-bond shop owner Vicki Marble of Fort Collins.
It’s also noteworthy that Mrs. Buck wrote a scathing letter as head of the Colorado Federation of Republican Women regarding the “threatening” of conservative women in leadership roles, citing reapportionment’s redrawing of districts like Rep. B.J. Nikkel’s–part of the backfire-shortened “misogynist map” complaints from last month. Now that Mrs. Buck is in a primary against another Republican woman to fill Rep. Nikkel’s seat, we assume that’s no longer an issue.

“Because she does NOT wear high heels.”
Wait, something’s screwed up.
She’s now entering the arena? Now that’s one brave lady.
Call me when she goes for that – assuming that the war of attrition between the parties is still being waged, which is another condition that has to be met in order for the comparison to be valid.
I guess that depends on what percentage of Republican primary voters frequents the bail-bond business in HD-49 vs. what percentage is active in party politics.
need Ms Marble to stay in business. They can not afford to lose her to DC
… means her small business failed? I don’t know a lot of business owners whose master plan is to stop being a business owner and instead become a life insurance agent.
