Jeff Hurd
RepublicanCO-3 · Representative
In the 2024 House race for CO-3, Jeff Hurd (R) won with 50.8% of the vote, defeating Adam Frisch (D) who received 45.8%. 2 additional candidates split the remaining vote. The 5.0-point margin made this one of the more competitive races of the cycle.
This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Lauren Boebert (R) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. This seat will likely stay on party watch lists as potentially competitive in future cycles.
