Jeff Hurd was leading a crowded primary field in early results Tuesday night for the Republican nomination for U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s current seat in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.
Hurd, a Grand Junction attorney, emerged at the front of a pack of six GOP candidates and was leading with 30,772 votes, or 42% of the total, in results posted to the Colorado secretary of state’s website as of 8:05 p.m. He was followed by Ron Hanks, with 28%, Stephen Varela with 10%, Lew Webb with 8%, Curtis McCrackin with 7% and Russ Andrews with 6%.

The candidate who clinches the nomination will face off in November against Adam Frisch — the Democratic nominee, who ran unopposed in the primaries.
While the seat has belonged to Boebert for two terms, she barely held onto it two years ago in a narrow race against Frisch, winning by just hundreds of votes. Since then, she’s changed her political strategy by moving to the eastern Colorado to vie for the 4th Congressional District seat instead.
Boebert’s former territory on the Western Slope is a conservative-leaning district and includes Grand Junction, Pueblo, Gunnison and Durango.
Among the other candidates, Varela is a Colorado Board of Education member, Hanks is a former state House member, Webb is a former California car dealership owner, Andrews is a financial adviser and McCrackin is a business owner.
