Education and political career

In 1984, Buck earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Pepperdine University.[4]

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, on December 7, 2020, Buck and 7 other Republicans demanded to the Speaker of the House KC Becker that a committee be formed 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]
