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.[2]
Donald Trump initially backed Hurd for re-election but rescinded his endorsement in February 2026, calling him a "RINO,"[66] and instead endorsed challenger Hope Scheppelman, a former vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party.[66] The following month, Trump reversed course and re-endorsed Hurd after Scheppelman met with him and agreed to withdraw.[67] 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."[68]

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.[98] Calvarese's campaign argued that Laubacher is a "lifelong Republican," noting she registered as a Democrat only in March 2025.[98] 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.[98]
