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.

Although Buck positioned himself as the candidate for the Tea Party movement during the Republican primary, he stirred controversy at times with remarks critical of former Rep. 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.
