Perry Buck (née Webster, born)[3] is an American politician who serves as a County Commissioner in Weld County, Colorado.[4] Previously, she served as a Republican member of the Colorado House of Representatives, representing District 49 from January 9, 2013, to January 13, 2021.

Education and political career

In 1984, Buck earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Pepperdine University.

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, on December 7, 2020, Buck and seven other Republicans demanded that Speaker of the House KC Becker form a committee on "election integrity" to conduct an audit of the Dominion Voting Systems used in Colorado's 2020 elections in spite of no evidence of issues. The request was rejected, with Becker criticizing it as a promotion of "debunked conspiracy theories."[5]

Personal life

Buck and her former husband, Ken Buck, announced their divorce on November 9, 2018, three days after his reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives from Colorado's 4th district.[10]
