Republican Jeff Hurd is a Grand Junction Attorney. He won the Republican primary after the current incumbent, Rep. Lauren Boebert dropped out of the race and moved to run in a different district. Originally, Hurd entered the race to challenge Boebert and offer the district a GOP alternative, racking up a number of endorsements from several current and former state Republican officials.

Hurd, who has never held elected office before, served a chair of the board of the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce. He has said the district needs a hardworking representative focused on doing something rather than being someone. 

Hurd grew up in Grand Junction. He has five children with his wife, Barbora, who is a naturalized citizen from the former Czechoslovakia. He graduated from Notre Dame and Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver. He also has an advanced degree from Columbia Law School.
