Colorado — 3rd District

Republican Jeffrey Hurd clinched a pivotal victory on Thursday, securing a US House seat for Colorado's 3rd District. This win allows the Republican Party to maintain its hold on the district, a seat previously occupied by GOP Representative Lauren Boebert.

Boebert, who narrowly retained her position against Democrat Adam Frisch in 2022, opted this year to pursue a different seat left vacant by former Republican Representative Ken Buck. This decision opened the door for a tough competition between Hurd and Frisch.

Hurd, an attorney recognized for his moderate stance, emerged as a favorable option compared to Boebert. The Associated Press declared Hurd the victor at 12.10 pm EST, marking the second time Frisch, an Aspen City Council veteran running as a pragmatic businessman, faced defeat.
