Education and political career
In 1984, Buck earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Pepperdine University.[5]
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."[6]
