The race to become the new representative in Congress for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District is nearly over, and the hopefuls are in their final day of campaigning. Republican Jeff Hurd and Democrat Adam Frisch are the leaders the race, and each is hoping to replace outgoing Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.
After a very close race two years ago in CD3, which represents much of Colorado’s Western Slope as well as the city of Pueblo, Boebert decided to change districts, move east and run for an open seat for Congress in the 4th Congressional District.
Hurd is an attorney and lives in Grand Junction, and this is his first foray into politics. Frisch is a business owner and former Aspen city councilman who is running for Congress for the second time.
In the Republican primary in June in CD3, Hurd won with 41% of the vote and defeated Ron Hanks and four other Republicans.
Frisch lost to Boebert two years ago by 546 votes and his concession didn’t come until 10 days after Election Day. A few months after the tight race he announced he would be running for Congress again . He was unopposed in the Democratic primary.
