Kinzinger
By resigning early, Ken Buck is giving an advantage to anyone but Lauren Boebert.
She cannot run in the special election since she already occupies a seat, so another person will be elected to serve out the term, and it won’t be Lauren.
Smart

@Jezibaba so she's going to fill his seat in the regular election? She wants to get away from Frisch I suppose. Is it possible for the SE winner to also get elected in the general, thereby shutting Boebert out, hopefully for good?
@hallmarc she's not going to fill his seat unless she resigns and runs and that's just until November. In the regular election she's up against a few more candidates. If she loses, she's gone.

@hallmarc yes but this is in relation Ken Buck resigning today. She already walked away from the 3rd by switching to the 4th in this election however the seat on the 3rd is still hers until November. She's running for the 4th in Nov but not likely for the interim. She'd have to resign from the 3rd to go for the special election in June.
