Republican Jeff Hurd took the lead over Democrat Adam Frisch in preliminary, unofficial returns in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, the GOP-leaning seat that U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert left after

Jeff Hurd is currently ahead in the race for Congress. Though he is ahead now, the official results have not been posted yet. Republican candidate Jeff Hurd is beating Adam Frisch by 11,665 votes in the race for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.

Early election results show Republican Jeff Hurd ahead of Democrat Adam Frisch despite Frisch’s more than a $10 million fundraising advantage in the race to take Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s seat representing Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.

GRAND JUNCTION — The race between Democrat Adam Frisch and Republican Jeff Hurd in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District was too close to call Tuesday night, leaving open the possibility that the district could be represented in Washington by a Democrat for the first time in more than a decade.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert currently represents the district and announced last December that she would change districts to continue representing Colorado in Congress. In 2022, Boebert narrowly won her re-election over Frisch by 546 votes.

The race to represent Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District shows Republican Jeff Hurd barely leading against Democrat Adam Frisch after the latest round of ballots were posted shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday.
