DENVER — First-time candidate Trisha Calvarese won the Democratic nomination for Colorado's special election to replace former Republican U.S. Rep. Ken Buck on Monday in an online convention.
She'll face Republican nominee Greg Lopez, a former Parker mayor and two-time gubernatorial candidate, in the June 25 election, triggered last month when Buck abruptly resigned from the 4th Congressional District seat he's held since 2015.
The special election to fill the remainder of Buck's term — only the second such election in Colorado history — will take place simultaneously with the state's primary to pick the parties' nominees for the November election.
