Republican Rep.-elect Jeff Hurd, the incoming freshman for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, admits his representation style might be a “little bit different” from that of his predecessor, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
Hurd, 45, had never run for elected office prior to his 2024 congressional campaign, saying during an interview with the Washington Examiner that his foray into politics was much that of an “accidental politician.”
For Hurd and his wife, Barbora Hurd, who have five children, the idea of running for an elected position “wasn’t anything that we had been aiming for,” with the incoming freshman saying he often jokes that “if you’re looking for somebody that has good judgment, don’t look at the person running for Congress, because it’s a crazy and hectic life, and it would involve a number of sacrifices.”
