Ginni Thomas 2-1-15
Resisting the calls that jammed his offices from citizens who opposed returning John Boehner to his leadership post, freshman Colorado Rep. Ken Buck chose not to challenge Speaker Boehner’s position on opening day. Besides getting placed on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the Republican congressman learned last week he was named Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Interior at Government Oversight.
Speaking to Buck in his office on January 21, the day after the president’s State of the Union Address, this exclusive Daily Caller video interview starts with the congressman’s warning, as a former prosecutor, to other jurisdictions that they might want to avoid following Colorado’s lead in legalizing marijuana.
“Marijuana isn’t alcohol.” he said. It has a “much more serious impact on young people,” Buck told TheDC. “People will learn over time, as they see what’s happening in Colorado, they should move slowly” on adopting Colorado’s law.
Now that he is in office, Buck finds Washington “confusing” and “a world that does not reflect what I’ve seen at home.”
