Jeff Hurd (R) defeated Adam Frisch (D) and two others in the general election for Colorado's 3rd Congressional District on November 5, 2024.
Incumbent Lauren Boebert (R) ran for re-election in the 4th District, leaving the 3rd District open.
Based on fourth-quarter reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Frisch raised $17.2 million and spent $17.3 million, and Hurd raised $2.8 million and spent $2.8 million. To review all the campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.
Hurd won the Republican primary, running on a platform of growing Colorado's rural economies.[1] He defeated five other candidates with 42% of the vote. The next closest candidate, Ron Hanks (R), received 28% of the vote.
Frisch was uncontested in the Democratic primary. He was the Democratic nominee in 2022, losing the general election to Boebert 50.1% to 49.9%. In that election, Frisch described himself as "a pro-business, pro-energy, moderate, pragmatic Democrat."[2]
Leading up to the primary, Democratic group Rocky Mountain Values PAC spent around $500,000 on ads promoting Hanks and opposing Hurd. Frisch's campaign did the same with around $100,000. A Republican super PAC, The Congressional Leadership Fund, spent $436,000 in one week on ads against Hanks, which claimed he was too liberal on gun issues.[3] According to Axios Denver, a Hanks' victory could have made the district more vulnerable to a Democratic win in November, but the primary result gave "establishment Republicans [Hurd] a victory against pro-Trump forces [Hanks] and [made] it more likely Republicans will retain the seat in the November election."[4]
According to Colorado Politics, the district was "still considered in play" before the election.[5] Additionally, former President Donald Trump (R) carried the district by 15 percentage points in 2016. This advantage was nearly halved in 2020, when he carried the district by 8.3 percentage points.[5] Before the election, four major election forecasters differed in their ratings of the general election, with three rating it Likely Republican and one rating it Lean Republican.
The Journals' Sandra Fish and Jesse Paul said, "The district hasn’t sent a Democrat to Congress since 2008. And when redistricting happened in 2021, the 3rd District was made more favorable to Republicans. Excluding Boebert’s 546-vote win in 2022, the closest 3rd District race since Republicans took control of the district in 2010 happened that year, when Tipton beat incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. John Salazar by 4 percentage points."[3]
Colorado's 3rd Congressional District was one of 34 congressional districts with a Republican incumbent or an open seat that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) targeted in 2024. To read about DCCC targeting initiatives, click here. For a complete list of DCCC targeted districts, click here.
Frisch was, at the time of the election, a business owner and substitute teacher.[6][7] His priorities were inflation, women's rights, ranching, and farming. Frisch said he would work to secure the southern border and lower gas prices.[8]
Hurd was, at the time of the election, an attorney and manager of the Grand Junction office of Ireland Stapleton Pryor & Pascoe PC.[9] He said he would focus on legislation that would benefit water, energy, and natural resources if elected. [8] Like Frisch, Hurd also said he would work to secure the southern border and lower gas prices.[8]
James Wiley (L) and Adam Withrow (Unity Party of Colorado) also ran in the election.
The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 119th Congress. All 435 House districts were up for election.
At the time of the election, Republicans held a 220-212 majority with three vacancies.[10] As a result of the election, Republicans retained control of the U.S. House, winning 220 seats to Democrats' 215.[11] To read more about the 2024 U.S. House elections, click here.
In the 2022 election in this district, the Republican candidate won 50.1%-49.9%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Donald Trump (R) would have defeated Joe Biden (D) 52.9%-44.7%.[12]

Party: Unity Party
Incumbent: No
Political Office: None
Submitted Biography: "I am a normal working stiff from Southern Colorado. I, along with many others in our District, recognize the need for a change in representation in the US House of Representatives away from Lauren Boebert. I also recognize the vast enthusiasm gap between her and the person she defeated in 2022. The honest fact is, the majority of the votes he got, mine included, were votes AGAINST her and not FOR him. Outside of Aspen, the thought of a person from there being truly representative of our region is false at best, and repulsive at worst. Since my mid twenties, people have been asking me to run for this House seat, some of whom were highly influential business owners, and others were regular working people like myself. This cycle, I have caved in to the pressure. Instead of coming across as though I have the answers to all of our problems or presenting myself as a full-blown partisan zealot, I'd like to practice a little true Democracy as our representative. When major issues come up, I want to contact local experts and stakeholders, and I'd also like to survey the citizens of the district at large for their direct input. I believe that by keeping the residents of the District closely involved in the legislative process, I can better live up the the office of Representative."

Suffrage, the People's right to vote, must be cherished and defended with the vigilance with which we guard our own families.
The innocence of our youngest generation must be defended against the exploitation of child sex traffickers and their bribed government officials.
Adam Withrow (Unity)
I'd like to bring about a balanced budget through series of steps that will allow us to keep our safety net for the most vulnerable. I believe that cutting back on corporate welfare, limiting military adventurism, legalizing marijuana and other natural medicines, and dramatically increasing the Federal Minimum Wage are important steps. We need to close loopholes and increase enforcement on tax cheats, and we need to redirect drains into revenue streams, as in the case of marijuana. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and SNAP are too important to lose if our businesses refuse to pay workers enough to actually live on. Prescription drug costs can be dramatically reduced by allowing the FDA to research and approve natural medicines.
We're a working class district, and I'm a working class person. I understand the struggles that the average person here go through because I'm going through them, too. I'd like to rein in the influence of the most powerful people and businesses by taking direct input from ALL of the people in the district, not just the ones with big money. I want to practice direct democracy on as many issues as possible.
James Wiley (L)
I propose a constitutional amendment to enshrine the right to life for all humans of whatever number of living cells. The fetal tissue industry must be destroyed. Let us not be a society of vampires.
We have seen in the last decades how the advances in medical technology have allowed for the continued life of those prematurely born children of a younger and younger age. Science must advance more quickly to better provide replacement environments for the development of unborn children in the event that the mother-child relationship isn't working out. Transplant operations that have proven reliability and success at a demonstrated level of maturity of a child may be offered to those unwilling to continue to be mothers.
I also charge the medical and scientific community with the responsibility of developing options for both mothers and children when the mental and physical health of the mother is at risk. At the age the child will be considered viable when independent from their mother a doctor might arrange for their mutually healthy separation. The child may then continue their development without the environmental stress of rejection by one's own mother
Adam Withrow (Unity)
We're seeing an increase in the classic form of poverty that we all know, where people can't afford to survive in our society even while working honest jobs. More and more people are becoming homeless, but beyond that, more and more people are also being shunted into housing projects and other forms of slums. We had the Hoovervilles in the Depression, now we've got the GOPvilles, which are made of more modern materials but represent the same squalor.
We also have the rise of the New Poverty. This involves an "upper" class of people who are absolutely insatiable. When I say this, I'm not talking about people who have landed a high paying job or started a successful business. I'm talking about what is trying to crystalize into a permanent aristocracy. There are people who have so much that they don't know what to do with it, and they are still trying to leverage every situation and crisis to get more.
As we work backwards, we're watching Ukraine become the global arms expo, where competing industrial giants get to show off their new hardware to warlords the world over. We're tempting fate messing with a bear and a dragon who happen to be friends.
All the while, things keep getting hotter...

This is the core duty of an elected official and it is a duty largely neglected by the current generation of House Representatives. People ask and expect candidates to do what they say they are going to do. A candidate may have whatever belief or policy position they choose, but if elected they must honor that principle or policy position as the choice of the People and above and beyond their own person, a simple vessel of principle.
To the public my name no longer represents my person but rather my ideals, which I am offering in my name in service to the People's purposes. I am campaigning on the principle of transmuting the government into voluntary private non profit associations and demolishing its cartel powers. I will deliver on this principle, that is my solemn promise to the People.

If I am confronted with the choice between doing the right thing that will make things hard for me or doing the wrong thing that will make things easy, I will do the right thing. Needless to say, I've seen some hard times.
I feel as though a Representative doesn't need to convince people that that's what they are, thereby saying that they've got all of the solutions for everyone in their area. A Representative needs to get with the people on every major decision that doesn't involve secrecy and see to it that they carry out the will of their voters.

I would like my impact on the world to be one that is felt, not noticed. Instead of getting "credit" for what goes well, I only wish to be a conduit through which right can flow.
If, when I die, the world is a little more polite, a little cleaner, a little more peaceful and civil, with a little less suffering, that is enough. If I can be sure that my kids will live in a world worth having kids in, I will have fulfilled my life's ambition.

It is a semi-historical account of the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history. It tells the story of what happens when different factions all think they are right, all share the same goals, and all refuse to work together. In the end, none of them win. Someone else arises from among one of the factions and destroys them all.
It is a perfect parable that fits our world today. It shows what happens when people think that only their way is right, and it shows how good people can turn foolish and rotten. It fits the partisan divide in the US as well as the overall geopolitical power struggles we see in the world today.

My sense of right and wrong is the absolute guard rail of my actions, and I relentlessly study and examine ethics to be right by my own conscience. While my specific definitions of what is right and wrong have changed throughout my life, the overall impact on my actions and words is the same.
I have left jobs because of what I have viewed to be dishonorable conduct on more than one occasion, and that has caused me to have to restart my life just as many times.
This trait is part of what has people pressuring me to run for office, however, because I "calls a spade a spade." No matter what party, no matter what position, no matter who a person thinks they are, within the confines of decorum, they cannot escape me. When it is my turn, I say what needs to be said without regard to what it will do to me.

Working back from there, we have to find a balance between our technological civilizations and the planet that hosts us. We are poisoning the soil, the water, and the air with the tools that make our lives so comfortable. Every day that goes by, the rate at which we do so increases just a little. It's getting undeniably hotter, and the storms are getting stronger. I'm a bigger fan of incentives than I am of penalties, but we're going to have to strike a balance between the two in order to maintain and improve the American standard of living that we've come to enjoy. If we cross certain thresholds, there is no turning back, and no amount of money can protect anyone. We need more innovation, and we need penalties for irreversible damage.
Something a little more present but a little less severe for the comfortable is the creeping poverty that is overcoming us. Our poor are getting poorer, and too often, the answer is just to sweep them under the rug. All of our cities have homeless encampments, and too often, the people are treated like vermin. A lot of these people are not on drugs or crazy, they just lost everything to gambles made by a class of people that doesn't even acknowledge them. Whether UBI or living wages, we've got to make working any job enough to actually live on. Desperation gives rise to violence. We must stop this.
James Wiley (L)
Adam Withrow (Unity)
When it comes to term limits for other offices, though, I have mixed feelings about them. In a certain way, I think there are people who need to step aside and let a new person step in and do the job. On the other hand, when the residents of a district keep sending the same person back, if it's a fair competition but their voters feel they're the best person for the job, the constituents have spoken.
We have a revolutionary government, and our revolution is regularly scheduled to repeat itself for as long as the nation lasts. Ballots are the bullets, and the conflict is non-violent. When one person is constantly reelected, their voters are saying that that is the person for the job.
I personally do not want to be a career politician. I'd like to step in to the office and see if I can truly make an impact. If I can't, I won't even run for a second term. If it feels worthwhile, and the people of the district support me, I'd be willing to come back a little longer, but I'm only willing to give so much of my life to a project like the government of the United States. That's my personal opinion, though.
It seems to me that the best way would be to set rules like that state by state, district by district, or something more like that.

Likewise, those rights that are enumerated by the Constitution are inviolable by the federal government. While guns, for another example, may be potentially dangerous, they are explicitly protected. "Arms" means those that are specifically designed to be weapons, not only those that are tools for hunting and the like.
The only sensible compromises that are available in both of those cases are those that leave the issues to the states.
In general, though, no one SHOULD be able to get everything they want. That in itself would be completely wrong. The partisan divide that is plaguing our society today is foolish and dangerous. All parties need to step to the table with a wish list, and all of them need to understand that those wishes are going to have to be prioritized. We must distinguish between the truly necessary and the comfortably desirable if we are to function as a nation.
There will always be a way for us to achieve the things that matter most as long as we remember the Constitutional limits of the institution.

Polls
- See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls
Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[13] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[14] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[15]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[16][17][18]

Thirty-two candidates ran for Colorado’s eight U.S. House districts, including 12 Democrats and 20 Republicans. That’s 4.00 candidates per district, more than in the previous three election cycles. There were 3.75 candidates per district in 2022, 2.28 candidates per district in 2020 and 3.43 in 2018.
The number of candidates who ran for the U.S. House in Colorado in 2024 is also higher than any other year this decade.
The 3rd and 5th Congressional Districts were open, meaning no incumbents ran in those districts.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-3rd) ran for the 4th Congressional District, which Ken Buck held before he resigned from Congress on March 22, 2024. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-5th) did not run for re-election because he retired from public office.
Nine candidates—three Democrats and six Republicans—ran for the 4th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Colorado in 2024.
Seven primaries—three Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024. That’s less than the eight contested primaries in 2022 but more than the two contested primaries in 2020.
Two incumbents—Reps. Diana DeGette (D-1st) and Boebert—were in contested primaries in 2024. That's less than the four incumbents in contested primaries in 2022 but more than the one incumbent in a contested primary in 2020.
Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.Partisan Voter Index
