Immigration & Border
The candidate supports stronger border security measures including resuming construction of a border wall, increasing resources for Border Patrol and law enforcement, and enhanced detection technology; he emphasizes removing noncitizens who have committed crimes and tightening asylum/processes while also expressing support for legal immigration. His public statements prioritize enforcement, anti-smuggling efforts, and stopping drug flows across the southern border.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate describes himself as pro‑life and supports abortion being decided at the state level rather than by federal law. He said he would not vote to codify Roe v. Wade or for a national 15‑week federal ban, and he has said abortion should be allowed in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at risk.
Climate & Energy
Supports U.S. energy production and 'energy independence' including oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear; acknowledges climate change but emphasizes exporting U.S. natural gas and expanding fossil fuel development as a way to reduce higher-carbon generation abroad and protect local jobs and water resources. Expresses concern about government favoritism toward wind and solar and favors market-driven or domestic-focused energy policy over aggressive regulatory approaches.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate is a gun owner who affirms the Second Amendment while supporting measures to prevent gun violence, including Extreme Risk/Red Flag laws with due-process protections (law-enforcement-initiated petitions, clear-and-convincing evidence, right to counsel and cross-examination).

AINews Summary
Last updatedMay 19, 2026
Jeff Hurd is in the news because his 2026 reelection campaign in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District has become a Republican primary fight. Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement after Hurd voted against Trump’s tariff authority, and Trump is now backing Hope Scheppelman. Hurd still has a fundraising lead, and the district has recently been rated Solid R for the 2026 House race. Ron Hanks has also attacked Hurd, accusing him of lacking accountability and not responding to constituents.
