Victoria Buckley (November 2, 1949 – July 14, 1999) was an American politician who served as the Secretary of State of Colorado from 1995 to 1999.
Raised in the Park Hill neighborhood, Buckley graduated from East High School and earned an associate degree in drafting.
[4] Buckley announced her candidacy for Colorado Secretary of State following the news of incumbent Natalie Meyer choosing to retire and was a surprise winner in the Republican party primary elections over three other candidates: Denver election commissioner Sandy Adams, state party vice chairman Mary Dambman, and congressional staffer Connie Solomon.
A performance audit ordered by the state legislature during that year showed a significant level of employee turnover.
On July 13, 1999, Buckley was found collapsed in her Denver home by her estranged husband, Todd Newsome, and was transported to University Hospital.
