LOVELAND — Like the phoenix that rises again, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck resurrected his Republican U.S. Senate campaign from the brink of death in September to win the nomination at the state GOP assembly on May 22 at the Budweiser Event Center in Loveland.

Never heard of him.
Buck is one of the good guys. Trying to take care of the illegal problem in Weld county.
Buck is one of the good guys. I only hope Ms. Norton doesn’t let her insider bitch streak override her desire to do what’s good for the people.
That's the only issue I've had with him, name recognition. He's the DA of Weld County, a medium size county north of the metro area. Otherwise, he's a great candidate. Lately, he been getting more press mentions and even more important, funding. So, he may well get the nomination and if so I think would be formidable against a Democrat coming out of a divisive primary.
Jane Norton would be a good candidate too, IMHO, but what she thought was her greatest asset is now her greatest liability, that she's a former Republican Lt. Governor. This is not a year to be part of any party's establishment.
Well I have heard of him, but I am ashamed to say I don’t know a whole lot. I’m kind of bad when it comes to my local politicians.
