COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - Colorado Congressman Doug Lamborn is stepping away from politics, according to an interview he had on KVOR during the Richard Randall show.

Republican Rep. Lamborn served House District 5 in Colorado for 17 years. He announced he was not seeking reelection, meaning all three Republican-held congress seats will be open.

“His accomplishments include keeping U.S. Space Command in Colorado Springs, serving on critical committees, establishing the Pikes Peak National Cemetery, getting 250+ provisions into the National Defense Authorization Act, vital and unsurpassed support for Israel, securing $3 billion for Colorado Springs’ military construction, providing critical constituent services, securing federal funding for the I-25 “Gap,” legalizing the Manitou Incline for public use, and carrying out many pro-life, social conservatism, and religious liberties efforts,” part of Lamborn’s website reads.

His office released the following statement:

“Congressman Doug Lamborn announced today that he will not be running for
reelection in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District, but will be retiring at the end
of 2024.
Speaking on the Richard Randall talk radio show, the Congressman said he is
grateful to the people of El Paso County for entrusting him with nine terms in
Congress.
“I thank the good people of El Paso County for the amazing and wonderful
opportunity to serve in the nation’s capital as representative,” he said.
Congressman Lamborn said he has always worked hard to support
conservative values and to meet the needs of the people of the district. He
pointed to a list of Top Ten Congressional Accomplishments posted on his
Congressional website, Lamborn.house.gov, as examples of his work. These
include the following:
—Keeping Space Command in Colorado Springs,
—Critical committee positions,
—Establishing the Pikes Peak National Cemetery,
—Getting more than 250 provisions in the NDAA,
—Vital and unsurpassed support for Israel,
—Securing $3 billion for Colorado Springs’ military construction,
—Critical constituent services,
—Secured federal funding I-25 Gap,
—Legalized Manitou Incline for public use,
—Pro-life, social conservative, and religious liberties efforts.
None of these would have been possible without the contributions of his hard-
working and capable staff, he acknowledged.
The Congressman also thanked the people of El Paso County for allowing
him to serve for 12 years in the Colorado General Assembly as a state
representative and state senator prior to going to Congress.
Most of all, the Congressman thanks God for the opportunity and for the
ability to carry out his responsibilities. Any success has been due to Him.
Congressman Lamborn said he intends to make 2024 the best year possible.
He will be looking for opportunities to do good in the future and to spend as much time as possible with his wife and family.”
