U.S. Rep.-elect Jeff Hurd will soon take over, representing Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District after four years of representation by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert. While the 45-year-old Grand Junction Republican said he has “a different style” than Boebert, he said they will have similar priorities when it comes to the district’s needs. The district encompasses the Western Slope and the southwest corner of the state, sweeping east to include Pueblo, Otero and Las Animas counties. Hurd beat Democrat Adam Frisch in the November election with 50.8% of the district’s vote over Frisch’s 45.8%.
