Jeff Hurd holds a commanding lead in the Republican primary for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, set for June 30, 2026, reflecting his status as the incumbent and strong party backing. President Trump’s March 2026 re-endorsement, following an earlier shift to challenger Hope Scheppelman and her subsequent campaign suspension to join the administration, consolidated support behind Hurd. Fundraising totals, prior primary performance against Ron Hanks, and alignment with district voters have reinforced this positioning. While Hanks remains on the ballot, limited recent momentum or endorsements constrain his prospects. Late developments such as unexpected shifts in Trump’s stance or significant primary turnout changes could still alter the outcome before voting concludes.
