Republican Jeff Hurd has won the U.S. House seat in Colorado that Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert left, fulfilling the congresswoman’s hope that her mid-election departure from the race would make it easier for a different Republican to retain the seat ...

Republican Jeff Hurd defeated Democratic challenger Adam Frisch and will represent Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in the House, succeeding Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) after she switched districts.

The result indicates that Boebert's brand of hardline conservatism continues to resonate with her Colrado voter base. Her new district, stretching from Fort Collins to the eastern plains, is largely populated by a reliable base of conservative voters aligned with her pro-gun, pro-Trump platform.
