Jeff Hurd
Republican


The 3rd district encompasses the Colorado Western Slope, including the cities of Montrose, Pueblo, and Grand Junction. The incumbent is Republican Jeff Hurd, who was elected with 50.8% of the vote in 2024.

Donald Trump initially backed Hurd for re-election but rescinded his endorsement in February 2026, calling him a "RINO," and instead endorsed challenger Hope Scheppelman, a former vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party. The following month, Trump reversed course and re-endorsed Hurd after Scheppelman met with him and agreed to withdraw. In a statement, Scheppelman urged supporters to "hold Hurd's feet to the fire" and said she would consider a 2028 primary challenge if he did not "correct his naive voting record."

Campaign

On March 2, 2026, Trisha Calvarese filed a lawsuit in Denver District Court against a member of the Colorado Democratic Party, alleging the party violated state election law by allowing fellow candidate Eileen Laubacher to participate in the Democratic caucus and assembly process. Calvarese's campaign argued that Laubacher is a "lifelong Republican," noting she registered as a Democrat only in March 2025. The following day, a judge denied a request for a temporary restraining order that would have blocked Laubacher's participation. Calvarese ultimately dropped out of the race on April 1, 2026.

On September 17, 2026, an ethics complaint was filed against Boebert accusing her for having sexual affairs with three of her staffers, two females, and one male, while also accusing her for paying roughly $200,000 to prevent to complaint from being filed. It was submitted to the House Ethics Committee, but an investigation has yet to be launched. Boebert has denied the allegations.
