A panel of Colorado Republicans is set to choose a candidate on Thursday to fill the remaining months of U.S. Rep. Ken Buck's term. This candidate is expected to challenge Rep. Lauren Boebert for another term in Congress, creating an unusual twist in the closely watched primary race.
The selected candidate is likely to win the special election against the Democratic nominee, reinforcing Republicans' slim majority in the U.S. House. The decision by the committee could have broader implications as they are expected to pick one of the current Republican primary candidates vying for the same seat.
