Ken Buck Biography
Ken Buck is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 16, 1959 in Ossining, Ossining, United States. Buck was born in Ossining, New York in 1959. He and his two brothers were encouraged by their parents, both New York lawyers, to attend Ivy League colleges, and Buck earned his B.A. in politics from Princeton University in 1981, having completed a 75-page long senior thesis titled “Saudi Arabia: Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place”. Buck later said that the Princeton degree was “more important to [my father] than me”. Buck played four years of football at Princeton, one year as a defensive back/punter/kicker and three years as a punter, earning All-Ivy League honors as a punter his senior year.
In 1990 Buck joined the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado where he became Chief of the Criminal Division. Buck was formally reprimanded and required to take ethics classes in 2001 for a meeting he had with defense attorneys about a felony case he thought should not be pursued. Only one of the three men initially indicted on felony charges was convicted, for a misdemeanor offense. Buck said he is “not proud” of the incident that effectively ended his career with the Justice Department, but says he felt it was “unethical” to prosecute such a “weak” case against the three men. One of the three men donated $700 to Buck’s 2010 Senate campaign.
Angered by what he later called the nation’s “lurch to the left,” Buck announced his plans to run for U.S. senator on April 28, 2009. In his first run for state-wide office, Buck frequently referenced national issues in defining his goals as a U.S. senator. Among these were his opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (a program of federal economic stimulus initiated under President George W. Bush and finalized under President Barack Obama) and the role of federal policy czars. Buck also stressed mounting governmental debt, an issue to which he was to frequently return throughout the primary campaign. Buck, contrasting himself to what he argued was the “top down” style of early Republican favorite Lieutenant Governor Jane Norton, also pledged a “bottom-up” campaign that would include visits to each of Colorado’s 64 counties.
He opposes the health care reform laws that were enacted in 2010. He instead favors free market-based reforms. His campaign website states, “We need to let the market work, make people responsible for their own insurance, and restore Americans’ freedom to decide for themselves whether and how much insurance to buy.” He supported a state constitutional amendment that would give rights to unborn fetuses, but then later withdrew his support reportedly after he found out that the measure would have restricted certain fertility and contraception procedures.
In 1986, he was hired by Congressman Dick Cheney to work on the Iran-Contra investigation. Following that assignment, he worked as a prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington D.C.

During the 2010 Senate race, The Colorado Independent ran an article entitled “Suspect in 2005 Buck rape case said he knew it was rape,”. The article, about a case Buck refused to prosecute in 2006, included a complete transcript of a tape between the victim and her attacker, including the following dialogue: Victim: “You do realize that … it’s rape.” Suspect: “Yeah, I do.” Victim: “Like in a number of different ways, because I didn’t want to do it and because I was intoxicated and because I was afraid.” Suspect: “Yes I do. I know.”}} The tape, which Greeley police had the victim record during their investigation, was available before Buck made his decision not to prosecute the woman’s admitted rapist. According to a following article in the Independent, “Buck’s refusal to prosecute 2005 rape case reverberates in U.S. Senate race,” the reporter provides a transcript of another tape of a conversation between the woman and Buck, in which “Buck appears to all but blame her for the rape and tells her that her case would never fly with a Weld County jury.” “A jury could very well conclude that this is a case of buyer’s remorse,” Buck told the Greeley Tribune in 2006. “That comment made me feel horrible,” the victim told the Colorado Independent in 2010. “The offender admitted he did it, but Ken Buck said I was to blame. Had he (Buck) not attacked me, I might have let it go. But he put the blame on me, and I was furious. I still am furious, she said. According to the Independent, “A man entered the alleged victim’s apartment and had sex with her while she was drunk, she says. As she passed in and out of consciousness, she says she told him “no” and tried to push him away. If he had been a stranger, the case may have played out differently, but he was a former lover, and she had invited him over.” In the meeting that she recorded, Buck said, “It appears to me … that you invited him over to have sex with him,” and that he thought she might have wanted to file rape charges to retaliate against the man for some bad feeling left over from when they had been lovers more than a year earlier. According to the Independent, “Buck also comes off on this tape as being at least as concerned with the woman’s sexual history and alcohol consumption as he is with other facts of the case.” Drawing on Buck’s abortion stance, the Independent also pointed out that “The suspect in this case had claimed that the victim had at one point a year or so before this event become pregnant with his child and had an abortion, which she denies, saying she miscarried. The suspect’s claim, though, is in the police report, and Buck refers to it as a reason she may be motivated to file charges where he thinks none are warranted.”
On August 19, 2013, Buck emailed supporters and announced that the lymphoma he had been diagnosed with was in remission following treatment and he would run against Senator Mark Udall in 2014. He had already filed to run on August 7, 2013, before he sent out the email. In March 2014, Buck withdrew from the race following the entrance of Rep. Cory Gardner, and decided instead to run for Gardner’s seat in Colorado’s 4th congressional district.

Buck rejects scientific consensus on climate change. In an October 2010 meeting with supporters in Fort Collins, Colorado, Buck endorsed the views of Senator James Inhofe, saying “Sen. Inhofe was the first person to stand up and say this global warming is the greatest hoax that has been perpetrated. The evidence just keeps supporting his view, and more and more people’s view, of what’s going on.” According to a Buck spokesman, “Ken believes there is global warming but thinks the evidence points to it being natural rather than man-made.”
Buck voted in favor of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Buck believes the bill is “fairer for American families” and that it will “keep more jobs in America.” He also says that it will simplify the tax code, when the process has been recognized as not being simpler than current tax filing processes.

Tom Tancredo, a Tea Party favorite, and the statement “Will you tell those dumbasses at the Tea Party to stop asking questions about birth certificates while I’m on the camera?” – a reference to those suspicious of President Barack Obama’s place of birth. Buck blamed the comments on his exhaustion and frustration after months of campaigning, and on his exasperation that it was difficult to keep campaign debate focused on the issue of mounting governmental debt. Tea Party leader Lu Busse criticized Buck’s “choice of words” and inclination to treat all Tea Party adherents as a uniform group.
