Incumbent Jeff Hurd holds a commanding lead in the Colorado 3rd Congressional District Republican primary due to President Trump's restored endorsement and the March suspension of challenger Hope Scheppelman's campaign, which cleared the path after a brief endorsement reversal. Hurd, who secured the seat in 2024, benefits from strong party infrastructure and voter recognition in a solidly Republican district, while remaining opponent Ron Hanks has struggled to gain traction despite qualifying for the June 30 ballot. Trader consensus reflects these developments, with limited remaining upside for any late surge absent major new endorsements or turnout shifts among primary voters.
