Perry Buck Announces Candidacy for the Colorado House of Representatives
GREELEY, Colo.—This morning, Weld County Council member Perry Buck announced her candidacy for the Colorado House of Representatives. The longtime Greeley resident and Colorado native, said that getting Coloradans back to work is her number one reason for jumping into the race.
“Coloradans are hurting,” said the Republican candidate. “As a small business owner and Colorado native, I understand the needs our state has. I look forward to helping get Coloradans back to work.”
Buck, who owned a small business and currently is a life insurance agent, also served in the administration of former Gov. Bill Owens as the Northeast Business Development Representative for the Colorado Office of Economic Development.
Buck is running for House District 49, which is currently being represented by state Rep. B.J. Nikkel, R-Loveland. Nikkel cannot seek reelection in HD 49 because of new district boundaries that were approved by the Reapportionment Commission in December.
Buck is married to Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, and has two step children—Cody who recently graduated from West Point Academy and Kaitlin, a Junior at Clemson University in South Carolina.
